That would be like Lurch

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

I get in an out through the hatch. Sometimes if I want to make it easy on myself, I actually open the hatch first.

All I can say is that I'm 5'9", and the car that fits me perfect. I like a more upright driving position. I've read many times on the forum that people don't like the side mirrors because they obstruct their vision. It all makes sense now, all you tall guys drive around like you are lying down in your bed no wonder the mirrors get in the way.

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.

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.

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.

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.
