He loves the car and loves the pickup
Myself I am 6ft2in and its very hard getting into and out the 370Z
Once inside my head hits the top and little room to move around.
Same goes when I am in the passenger side there is little room
I like the car and it does look hotttt
Myself I find it more easy to get into and out of my 2012 Dodge Challenger RT.
Glad He is happy with the 370Z but I will be buying a 2015 Challenger Shaker where I am able to get in and out of lol.............JT

I'm surprised no one has commented on this--unless OP means little room to move his head. I doubt anyone bought a Z to be able to sprawl out inside. I love that I can easily reach everything I need.

Finally an advantage of not being tall.

FOr what it's worth my Lexus IS250 was no picnic for tall people either, maybe Japanese cars are just not made for big americans.

I'm 6'1" and have more than enough room once I'm in the driver's seat. Entry and exit was a huge complaint for me until I noticed I'm having some difficulty getting in and out of other cars. I finally had to admit that my entry/exit issues with the Z is far more likely due to my back problems than with the design of the Z. Still, I sure wish Nissan had given me a little more headroom getting in and out.

I have no visibility issues due to the size of the mirrors. Visibility to the rear is another issue entirely

I'm guessing Nissan made the outside mirrors so large in an effort to ameliorate the limited visibility to the rear.

That would be like Lurch

down the highway. You could put a wing on your head for a little extra down force.

Way ahead of you... Here's a selfie I took recently.

I almost ran into some old lady in a Corolla because she was behind the mirror at a 3-way stop.

The gigantic mirror blind spot is real.

jpkirk · 08-01-2014, 03:03 PM

It's a bob and weave every corner. I learned it well in my '02 Dakota Sport with the giant side mirrors and mondo A pillars. So the Z doesn't bother me in the least.

I'm sure it is, but it seems to be driver-dependent.

Pity from some. Envy from others.

Nope. I fluctuate between 205 and 215. Depending if its hockey season or not.

6'2", around 170. I drive a Ranger most days, but I've never had a problem getting in/out of the Z. Slightly more tricky when parking in the garage & I can't open the door very much.
When getting in, my family members tend to fall into the seat, but not in the graceful way the rest of us have been speaking about. A seat that low is a different experience for the uninitiated.

You ever rode in a Miata?..Don't.

I had a '92 MR2 Turbo: kinda small inside.
My friend had a '93 RX7: surprisingly smaller than my MR2
I drove a 2002 Viper: smaller than both; death trap; very fast car that's made out of plastic; very dangerous and uncomfortable.
