Just joined the forums site.

I recently began considering the 370z because I want a small sportscar. (Not into American Muscle)

Originally, I was psyched about the Subaru/Scion BRZ/FR-S. I wasn't happy about the power of that car. I loved it's looks but when I saw it in person I was NOT impressed.

So here I am, looking to educate myself as I come up with some alternate vehicles.

I know I'll be able to get in. It's more of a matter of being able to get out lol. Actually, I want to make sure I'm comfortable. I'd be interested in a touring sport model.

I understand. I'm about 6'0'' or 6'1'' & it isn't too bad.

Okay so I test drove a 370z today. I really like the car. There is one thing I can't get past. My right leg needs more room. There is no room between the top of my right leg and the steering wheel. Also I would like to be able to stretch my right out on longer drives. The salesperson said that he could see if they could shorten the length of the gas pedal and brake.

Anyone have to do this?

I know everyone is different but I'm 6'2 and I like the snug feel. I'm push the seat in a little because when I push the car to the limit, I want to be able to react right away. I used to own a BMW Z3 and I felt that it was roomy despite the fact that it was a small car. The 370z is more roomy than the Z3. When I test drove the 370z, I had to have it!

I agree bro. Actually, I've been looking around , it appears people with my problem are putting a racing steering wheel on with a smaller diameter.

Maybe nissan can rig the audio/bluetooth/voice controls to the wheel ...hmmm
