Will i fit in her?
 
So, i went and checked out the interior of the 370z. Looks great. Didnt really get a great feel for her yet though. I'm 6'3". I have really long legs. Is this going to make for a big problem or will i just be able to adjust the seat and not worry about it. I usually like to sit with my knees up. Close to where the keys dangle on normal cars. I doubt ill be able to do this in the 370z. Even though i can't do it, will i still feel comfortable?

mhcoss 02-24-2012 12:41 AM

I'm kinda wonderin this too. I am 6'3 as well. Guess I better go test drive!

I dont know if this helps but I took my buddy out in mine and he is 6'3 and he was very happy in the passenger seat. I'm 5'10 and I moved the seat way up. I like to sit just like you do.

nmjaxx9 02-24-2012 12:45 AM

Im 6'4' with long legs and I fit just right. The Z actually has a lot more leg room than I previously thought. And I think there was a thread on this before.

Ahh yes here you go: http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...ller-guys.html

370ZilverZ 02-24-2012 12:47 AM

I'm 6'2" with long legs and have no trouble fitting and driving around town. After 200 miles on long trips I have trouble with my right leg being comfortable. I hate stopping on trips, so I may just have to stop more often. The taller you are the less view you have from your rear view mirror too.

in before first sex joke about the title!

shaun66 02-24-2012 06:42 AM

6'3" too , wearin cowboy boots today also!

scottIN 02-24-2012 06:48 AM

I'm not a real big guy (5'10" / 150#), and once I'm in I'm fine, but getting in & out isn't the easiest for me. Tend to catch my foot on the door speaker area. maybe I need to work on my flexibility...

onzedge 02-24-2012 08:00 AM

I am 6' 4" and about 220 (pounds, not kilos) on a good day. I have no problem fitting inside. Ingress/egress takes a little bit of contortion but becomes habit quickly.

I am the same height as you. I think longer legs has more options than long torso. Give it a test drive and you will know.

This is a bit off topic but worth noting. One of the difficulties with the Z is exiting the car in tight parking spots. I'm only 5'7 and getting out can be a pain with the long door and thick door panels. I would imagine it being almost impossible for some one who is over 6ft.

Since I am unlikely to park so near another, it has not been a problem.

kenchan 02-24-2012 10:06 AM

elm-that's because you're in sandiego where parking space is all made for Fiat500's and smart cars. :icon17: lol

absolutely a non issue for me. i have 2 coupes in my garage.

elmz 02-24-2012 10:09 AM

:icon18: Good point!

Nick911sc 02-24-2012 10:10 AM

I have an empty cardboard box on the driver side wall of my garage so if I have to open the door more to get out I don't have to worry about it touching the wall lol

Yeah constantly getting in and out of the Z for me (like two three times a day sometimes) does put pressure on my back, especially when I have to try and stand up and get out, in a small opening. LOL. Thats why I always park where there are no cars next to me, so I can swing the door open as far out as need be to get out, but its in my garage I always find it tight, when my other car is parked in there with the Z, its almost impossible to come out but I manage it somehow. I guess with constant practice, you get use to it. :tup:

Zeuz 02-24-2012 10:13 AM

i think it has plenty of room. im 5'10 and the seat is up alot . very comfortable for me too even while wearing my boots lol

kenchan 02-24-2012 10:13 AM

half of me is thinking that people using the steernig wheel as a handle to get in/out of the car puts extra wear on the steering-lock itself. something to think about.

edub370 02-24-2012 11:06 AM

oooo.... i expected something different when i read the title..... :icon17:

Elric 02-24-2012 11:47 AM

I am 6'4 with long legs. I have the base car. So no leather seats. I fit perfectly fine, no problem pressing the clutch even. the head room is very good too IMO, more than what i though :D
Its a two seater in the end so room should not be too bad. i test fitted my self in my local dealers car. highly recommend doing that .

NYBladeZ 02-24-2012 11:57 AM

My buddy is 6'2 ~300lbs and drives my Z comfortably, you should be fine. Head over to the Nissan dealer and find out for sure.

LakeShow 02-24-2012 12:08 PM

I'm had my friend 6'5 fit in the car. Just play around with the seat controls.

gsxr750 02-24-2012 02:56 PM

I am 6'2" and the Z is pretty tight, you have to have the driver seat slightly reclined to fit in it, with the seat all the way back. If I try and put the seat in a more forward position, my head hits the headliner and it forces my chin actually down. Leg room side to side is pretty tight to, not much room to move around. I would actually rate it as sitting in an economy seat on an overseas flight. Anymore than 2hrs. in the seats on a Z and you have to get out of it and move around. My old 2005 sentra has more comfortable seats and leg room. So I won't rate the 370z as a good long distance touring car, a corvette is actually a lot better for height and leg room and long distance comfort. If your worried about leg room and height a infinity G35 coupe.

Ya was wondering this wasn't posted in NSFW section :icon17:

Urbanracer 02-24-2012 04:04 PM

I'm 6'6'' and 230lbs and I fit comfortably. For someone much taller then 6'6'' I think the fit would be a bit tight when it comes to head clearance.

6'2", 220 lbs, with a total right hip replacement. I have no problems getting in or out of the Z. My legs fit. My hip still feels fine after 300 miles of non-stop driving.

So, to you guys that...........you want some cheeze and crackers with that whine? :icon23:

LakeShow 02-25-2012 12:32 AM

I hope if he tells them to "remove four inches" there are no misunderstandings as to which parts he is talking about....:tup: Hate to wake up after surgery and find out yet another surgical mistake..:)

JZNx 02-26-2012 12:19 PM

Solution: Test drive.
