maybe the driver side has more room than the passenger side?
Well, I'll be honest and say that 6'-2" is generous. I'm closer to 6'-1". I sit up pretty straight to help out my back, so I can see that much more torso height could start to be an issue. When I used to slouch while driving, I could have been 4-5" taller without issue. And I'm currently just a tiny bit too wide for the seat, but I'm working on that

Operating the pedals helps keep the blood flowing in the legs, so that's one benefit for the driver. I will say that I do lots of long distance driving and without cruise control (like in construction zones or lots of traffic) it can make for some aching legs. That being said, driving 900 miles round trip in a day is more comfortable in the Z than any car I've ever driven long distances. And I've rented a lot of cars and done a lot of driving in Texas in the past 10 years.
