Will i fit in her?

HeRo1 · 02-24-2012, 01:37 AM

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?

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.

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

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.

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

scottIN · 02-24-2012, 07:48 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...

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, 11:06 AM

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

lol

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