If that's the case my friend floats around 350 give or take 10 lbs, and is an inch taller than your friend, guess it's not happening lol

I'm 6'-2" and 250lbs right now and have absolutely no troubles with comfort. Now my entry and exit might leave a little grace to be desired, but they are not that difficult. It's my DD.

I don't know.. maybe my friend was just being a baby but he seemed very uncomfortable with his head hitting the roof and his knees hitting the glove compartment and he said he couldn't straighten his legs...

after 30 mins of driving he said his legs felt numb lol

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.

Driver side does have more room than the passenger side! I found this out when I slept in my car in between classes. Passenger side isn't as long as driver's side, even with the pedals.

Interesting.

I am 6-5 and weigh 220-225 (on a good day) and have no problem. Z cars have been my primary vehicles for more than 30 years also. Plus I am old, jaded and cynical.
