How tall are you? And how is the comfort level in the Z for us taller guys
I orderd my Z and it should arrive within 3 months (2010 model)
My question is im 6'1 and, i test drove the car befor i purchased and im comming from a 2004 G35 coupe. The drive feels aloooot different which is fine and expected. And in terms of room it doesnt neccessarily feel like theres less (leg and headroom) but i feel more closterfobic. Which i know its just a matter of getting used to being a 2 seater car. How tall are you? and how comfortable do you feel in the 370? Thanks, |

6'6" here and I just barely fit. I have the seat all the way back and down and I have about an inch of head room when I lean all the way back. That being said it works just fine for me.

6ft and no issues. If anything I think someone MUCH taller would fit rather comfortably in this car. If anything I feel it also eliminates some of the side mirror blind spot issues I've heard people complain about.

6ft, 175, I love how it feels. You almost become a part of the car, thats what I love about it, it holds you.

6'2 or 188cm - No problems at all. I just have the seat about three quarters back and the base of the seat angled really low at the back and a little higher under the knees. Headroom has never been an issue, although if these had sunroofs that would change things.
It does feel claustrophobic at first, but after a week you don't think twice about it.

6'2 and it's fine. the seat is all the way back then locked in. if the hair is long and extra spikey that day then i might rub a lil, but no big deal.
my gf's g35 coupe is worse. i've got the seat all the way down (front part up a lil to compensate) and i'll rub a lil regardless. opening the moonroof cover helps lol. i remember sitting in a 350z when they first came out and there wasn't as much head room as there is in the 370.

6'2" and I'm actually glad I'm this height - it feels like you need to be a bit tall to look over the mirrors.
I have the seat all the way down because I like being low, and I have enough headroom to wear a helmet. I do wish the wheel telescoped out a bit further; sitting with my hands in proper track position makes my legs a bit tight. That said, it's way better for me than the Cayman, in which my knees were jammed against the dash... |
