2014 370Z kinda small getting inside of car

johnnytuinals · 07-31-2014, 09:32 PM

I got my brother into buying a New 2014 Black Basic 370Z manual trans
cost $27,700
He loves the car and loves the pickup
Myself I am 6ft2in and its very hard getting into and out the 370Z
Once inside my head hits the top and little room to move around.
Same goes when I am in the passenger side there is little room
I like the car and it does look hotttt
Myself I find it more easy to get into and out of my 2012 Dodge Challenger RT.
Glad He is happy with the 370Z but I will be buying a 2015 Challenger Shaker where I am able to get in and out of lol.............JT

I am 6'2" 210 lbs and have no problem. Lots of head and leg room. You need to tilt the seat back and you will not have any problems.

Not every car is for everyone. Personally I wouldn't be caught dead in a Dodge. But it's a free country.

Nope. I fluctuate between 205 and 215. Depending if its hockey season or not.

6'2", around 170. I drive a Ranger most days, but I've never had a problem getting in/out of the Z. Slightly more tricky when parking in the garage & I can't open the door very much.
When getting in, my family members tend to fall into the seat, but not in the graceful way the rest of us have been speaking about. A seat that low is a different experience for the uninitiated.

I am a big guy and have no issues getting in or out. You need to adjust the seat properly. I agree I have no desire of having ANY dodge vehicle. Ever.

I'm taller and fatter than you. Lol

I might look a tad jackass getting in and out, but I live with it, so stop complaining!

Because I sat in one ONCE and it was so uncomfortable. I tell you that I fear most sitting in other peoples' cars because I'm afraid they're really anal (like you, lol) and they're thinking, "Oh shít... This fat fúck is totally gonna crease my leather."

As I tell people who complain about how low my car sits and how difficult getting in and out is. You must learn to fall into the car, it's an art. Also, use your arm to brace yourself against the seat when exiting.

Watch a video of people getting in and out of an Elise. You talk about difficult...

cooltoy · 07-31-2014, 11:03 PM

That's a good description "fall in". It requires grace and athleticism. Falling in without looking like you are falling.

Can we just tack this thread onto the gas mileage thread?

brancky3 · 08-01-2014, 06:54 AM

It's a lot easier to get in and out of if you have the space to open the door all the way, it's a little annoying for me to get in and out in my garage with another car in it.

onzedge · 08-01-2014, 07:23 AM

I am 6' 4" and 225 pounds. I have no issues with getting in and out of them and have been driving Z cars for more than 30 years.
