6'4" 220 lbs. And the fit is good except for my right leg. I had a better fit in my G35 Coupe. It had telescoping/tilt wheel tho which helped a lot. One thing I noticed is the flap/fin on the console, it obstructs leg clearance for me. Was thinking about removing that piece or something....

6'5" 250lbs its tight getting in and out but once your in its not bad its a snug sporty feel not claustrophobic. My head rubs the roof now and then but its really only a problem when I have my helmet on at the track. This car is worth the tight fit.

I'm 6 foot 185 and fit fine. I would say a really wide person would find this seat very unconfortable. Th side bulster are not design for wide people. As for the feel of closterfobia, it not you or your size. A 4 foot person would feel closterfobic in this car. It just the way this car is designed. Windows start high and are short. Many ver large blind spots. Use what ever you can move your self to see more, use the backup camera. The closterfobic feeling you will get used to, but if you drive a sadan for 2 weeks and get back into your Z it will be back for the first ride or 2.

6'1" and 175 lbs. Love the fit; seats are super comfortable on long drives. Alcantara is like velcro!

5'8 here, 220lbs, I can take one hour trips here and there, but after an hour, my back starts to hurt a tad.

6' 2" 190 here. Fit fine except for getting in and out. Too bad it's not my height making it difficult, it's my age! On long trips (more than 1 hour), I get out and do like a modified caveman walk until my back straightens out (I just make sure there's no one around to me in pain)! lol! The other day, I drove to Dallas in it and had to "roll" out of the car! That's why I take my Titan for long trips. Even with all that, I wouldn't trade my Z in for anything else.

6'5", Only complaint is that the steering wheel is too far forward. Needs a telescoping steering wheel or a aftermarket spacer that's not available for the factory wheel.
