I have a harder time getting into my wife's 14 IS250. I hate getting into that thing, and always hit my knee on either the steering wheel or the corner of the lower dash. Plus, I always rub on the side bolster. The Z, no problem at all and easy to "fall" or "roll" into without touching the side bolster.

I agree! I had a 92 MR2 Limited G turbo in Japan, and that thing was a PITA to get in. I did love how the cockpit wrapped around me though.

Cool story, sounds like small cars aren't your thing.

I, for one, am glad the Z is small. It weeds out all the fat people from owning one.

Only having two seats (and no cargo space) gets me out of a bunch of less desirable activities.

Being as I'm 5'3" and about 125lbs, I have no issues getting in and out of the Z; unless it is in the garage. I have to use the left bay and there's maybe enough room for me to turn sideways and fit flush between the garage wall and the car.

I've mastered turning around in the seat so I exit facing the rear of the car, right foot out first. >.>

I just don't get it?
Yep I do pull the seat atads back when I get in
But my head hits the top even when the seat is back.
Even when I am in the passenger seat its all the way back and still very tight.
I am sure Most hate the Dodge Challenger but I am used too it and is more roomy.
My brother and everyone that sees his 370Z loves the car and so do I,I even told him to buy one since he is only 5ft 10in and I always thought the car was very cool and still do..
Just thought the few times that I use the car when getting in My head hits the top outside side and getting out its kinda hard also having to push too get out.......
Otherwise its a great car.................JT

Put the seat a bit forward and tilt the back down instead. And tilt the bottom to set you butt lower.

Agreed. It is hard getting in and out of a Z. I'm old, very old but the best part of owning a Z is watching young gf's getting in and out of my Z. Such a nice sight.
