350ash Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I'm 6'3" and I find that I just fit in. With the seat all the way back, the base reclined as far as possible and the back reclined slightly I can get comfortable but I need to keep my hair short otherwise it catches on the headlining. Now that I've got my seat just right I'll kill anyone that moves it because I know I'll never find that sweet spot again! As Leeroy mentions, I think the non-GT seats (ie cloth rather than leather and manual rather than automatic adjustment) sit slightly lower in the car, they might be worth a try - get along to a meet and sit in someone's non-GT spec car.

GruntBoy Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Cheers guys. Previous car was a CTR, and could drive that all day long and felt perfect. I'll give it a couple of months before making a decision then, see if I can get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Bloody hell it's all big feckers on here. I feel a midget at 5'10. I love the zed and find it that comfy that on long drives I tend to start falling asleep so generally have plenty of pit stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RisingPower Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Aren't the bride seat rails a bit lower and you can also get lower seats from bride like the gias low max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I'm 6'4" and my son is 6'6" and we fit in ok Iv'e driven all the way to Newcastle in the Z with one short stop and was absolutely fine, in fact arrived relaxed, not tired and certainly not in any discomfort. I have the seat all the way back, tilted so I am sitting right back and at quite an angle, and steering wheel almost down as far as it goes, works for me I find the leg room is great, I can stretch my left foot right out on the foot rest. I do tend to kind of slouch down a bit instead of sitting bolt upright but as I say works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog518 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 At last an advantage to being a shortarse!! I may not be able to find jeans to fit without dragging on the floor but at least I can drive to as many shopping centres as i like in great comfort! Seriously tho hope you find a solution soon before it comes to selling up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentech Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Cheers guys. Previous car was a CTR, and could drive that all day long and felt perfect. I'll give it a couple of months before making a decision then, see if I can get used to it. Same here. I'm only a short arse (5'9'') and have never been completely happy with the seat. Mainly the height for me. I feel like I need to recline the seat a bit more to see clearly out of the back but then my short arms don't reach the steering wheel . If I move the seat forward it becomes a bit of a squeeze getting in. Getting used to it now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 After reading through this I've come to the conclusion I'm either an anatomical freak or have a unique driving position . At 6'0" I'm pretty small compared with some yet I have the seat back as far as it will go and could do with it going back a bit more, same with every single car I have ever owned. I can only think that you really tall guys say 6'3" upwards must have the ability to compensate by adopting a completely different driving position than the one I use .
