Default Disappointment in the roadster!

So, i went by the local dealer and they have a black roadster touring. I think the car looks sexy on the outside... the seats look a little cheap with the leather trim and the mesh inserts. The largest let down is that the crossmember that runs behind the seats at shoulder height limits the seat movement, so much so that I was unable to get a comfortable combination between the angle of the seatback and distance from the pedals. I am not that tall (6'02") and had the same issue with the 350Z to a greater extent.. I am seriously let down because I was very seriously considering the 370 roadster... For the record, I have no problem in fitting in the coupe..

The mesh inserts allow for the heated and cooled air to get to you. I don't think they look any worse than the coupe's leather seats with synthetic suede inserts. It should be all leather or not at all. At least in the roadster I can tell myself its for my heated and cooled pleasure. As for the seat adjustment issue, I can't comment since I'm too short for it to be an issue.

A Z without it's top is an L for Ladies only.

I may just be pulling this out of my ash, but I'm guessing he's 6"02".

My bad didnt read his full post, was just upset that it might be uncomfortable and I would become a VERY unhappy camper if I went to purchase soon.
