I'm 6 '2, 205lbs and sometimes I wish I had a little more leg room. I have the seat all the way back and my legs are still bent quite a bit. It's not uncomfortable for the most part but sometimes I like to straighten and stretch my legs. A few weeks ago I took my Z to the dealer for it's first free oil change and while I was waiting I sat in a A/T Grand Touring model they had in the showroom and there was much more leg room than my M/T base model. I have plenty of head room in my car, and the seats reclines far enough.

i know this might sound stupid, but does anyone with big feet have troubles with the pedals? i wear a size 13 and find that most of my shoes make it a little bit harder to release the clutch and all...

Only thing I sometime have a problem with the pedals is that I basically cant my foot so that I can be really close to the brake and with my shoes size twelve sometimes I have to make sure I''m not hitting both pedals. I have mistakenly hit one when going for the other. Didn't have this problem in my tib but its a habit I picked up in Iraq because I always wanted to be able to hit the brakes or gas quickly and because it was more comfortable since it takes like 9000lbs of pressure make those things go lol. Funny long drives even at night don't botther me anymore drove 17 of the like 20 or so hours it takes to get from NC to TX with no prob and never felt fatigued. I actually think the seats are some of the more comfy I've sat in. Really like how they hug you

I have sat in one before and it was really comfortable but i just want to know if it will be a comfortable ride for long drives?

Yeah pay attention to your foot position / pedal position / shoe size relationship like a few have mentioned. I only wear size 11 shoes but even I get my feet tangled up or caught under the adjacent pedal depending on what shoes I am wearing. (Driving in those square-toe dress type shoes is pretty much a no-no for me). I am just over 6'0" and 155 lbs. and my seat is a few clicks from the farthest back position, so I imagine you will be fine at 6'4" with the seat all the way back. The car really does have a nice driving position.
