Tall 350z drivers........how do you find it?

[Shuck]

Just flicking through the boards at lunch (as you do) and I came across this thread.

One thing that was mentioned is that JC may not like the car because he couldn't fit in it. Now I'm 6 foot 3 and not as skinny as the rake I used to be (blame rugby for that!) and was wondering if any other taller people out there have issues with the car?

 

Any details you have would help greatly.

 

Cheers

I am 6 1" and have no problems, but i am no rugby player.

[Lexx]

Im 6ft 2" with no probs

 

only person I know cant fit is a friend of mine who is 6ft 6", he can get his torso in easy, but cant get his legs in properly

I fear I can help

I didn't fit in a Zed when I tried it for size (I'm 6'7") but after bugging people on here I ended up trying a non-GT car which has manually adjustable seats. And I fit.

The downside is that GT's have all the gubbins that you want (leather, cruise, uprated Bose) for very little extra cash but I'm not buying the car for seats & sounds

Not having it them may affect resale a tad though.

 

HTH...

I've no problems and my grandaughter thinks I'm 10ft tall

[M13KYF]

no probs for me 6ft 2" and broad shouldered

[Drexyl]

I'm a strapping six footer, and fifteen stones (not a porker, though) and I have bags of room.

I'm 6ft 5" and fit in fine. Even ok with a helmet, although its a tight fit.

Buy a bigger helmet then big head.

 

I'm 6ft 4 and I fit in no probs.

Looks like you should be fine! I am 6'1" and fit fine....

[Cool Hand Luke]

Just over 6'1" too and no problems with seating.

[toffeeman]

Yeah, I fit fine and I'm 5'6"

[rmmackfc]

6' 3" ... slim build. GT car, adjusted the seat and it was fine

[Ross Mac]

I'm 6' 3" and of rugby-esque build. Broad shoulders, big legs etc, 15.5 stone.

 

I chose a non-gt spec as the seats sit lower in the car than the leather gt spec ones. This was a big deciding factor for me when comparing two cars...

 

Mine is for sale and only up in Newcastle so not far from you if you want a look

 

Just see the for sale section for details - it's an 04 chilli red btw

[Shuck]

Thanks for the overwhelming response. Only posted at lunch and 13 replies, I love this place

 

Looks like I'll have to try the non GT version when I finally come around to getting a 350z.

 

Thanks for the offer Ross Mac, but at the moment my deposit is a lot smaller then I wanted, need to keep saving! Best of luck with the sale though, she looks a beauty!

[Leeroy]

I win

[LewisL]

I'm 6ft 6 & about 16.5 stone (go to gym 5 nights a week so aint no fatty) lol

 

I fit fine no worries! mines a GT spec!

[350matty]

350Z was primarily designed for US market so i should fit most

[Toon Chris]

6'2 for me and no problems.

 

We are quite a tall lot aren't we

Some seem 'larger' than others though

And thats why some don't need to lower their cars once the ballast is shoe-horned in

6ft5 here in a GT pack and no problems, probably one of the most comfortable cars I've ever sat in.
