How tall are you? And how is the comfort level in the Z for us taller guys

Thechidz · 01-12-2012, 11:55 AM

I'm 6'2" and a stocky 270. Height isnt really a problem just need to lose some weight

Unique_Z · 01-12-2012, 12:17 PM

5' 8 here with 155 lbs. no problem since im not that tall lol

pbhakta · 01-12-2012, 02:07 PM

I'm 6'2 220 lbs. I used to be 250 lbs and glad i lost a bit of weight to fit into those bucket seats. As far as the height i fit just fine with the seats all the way back and never had an issue with head room.

6'0" - 205. Plenty of room for me... Getting out can be tough sometimes lol

How tall am I? What the heck is that about? You think you can just waltz in here and stick your nose in my business? I see you, tying to get your hands on my feet and inches. Well, good luck with that!

I am 6'3" and the car is very roomy

nmjaxx9 · 01-12-2012, 03:34 PM

My friends always ask me how I am comfortable in the Z as I am 6'4, but surprisingly the Z has more leg room then my altima.

I am 6'3" and have more head room than my 300ZX. No more bashing my head on hard right turns. Still a bit small for a helmet, but I adjust the seat to less than 100% comfortable, but certainally tolerable for awhile.

TerribleONE · 01-12-2012, 04:40 PM

6'3 and it feels great to me!! Just as much leg room as my G37 had..

Dzel · 01-12-2012, 04:45 PM

I'm 5'11" 250 mostly solid

I have the one hand on the door frame and lift myself out with both my arm and my legs. I have a bad left knee hence the cool slide out maneuver

Supergoji · 01-13-2012, 03:21 AM

6'5, 235lbs. feels a little bit cramped. my head sometimes hits the roof whenever I drive one.

shaun66 · 01-13-2012, 11:34 AM

6'3" Ok in shoes, but with boots on it's a beotch sometimes.

keb370z · 01-13-2012, 12:24 PM

Being a bit taller might help. I'm 5'7" and need to sit up and lean forward to see past the mirror on some left turns.

The claustrophobia of it only takes a few weeks before it changed and the car became an extension of my body. Now I think I could parallel park it blindfolded.

And now it's hard to drive cars with better visibility and higher seating. It just feels.. wrong.
