Default 350z Roadster Comfortable?

I'm working on getting a 350z within the next few months. I was wondering how comfortable is a Roadster? I'm about 6ft tall. Do the seats go back just like the Enthusiast and Touring models? Thanks.

I have owned a roadster for a year now. I am also 6 feet tall and I find it very comfortable. The seats recline quite a bit. The only problem is if you are on a longer trip and your passenger wants to recline and nap because it is just about impossible.

I know people 6ft tall that are comfortable in the hard top 350z. Get the hard top, the convertable lines are just ugly with the top up.

What about reclining? How far does it recline? Can I still keep my current gangsta lean? lol

Also is the reclining in a roadster the same as the enthusiast?

No gangster lean in the ZR. It reclines but not a lot.

You could just sit in one and try that, no?

If you want a "gangster lean" I suggest you purchase a different car. Perhaps a Charger or 300

I would but the dealership is far from where I live. I'm just debating on an Enthusiast Model or a Roadster. Both seem nice to me. I just want to be comfortable. My 300zx was comfortable.

Roadsters (39.2") actually have more from head room clearance than the coupes(38.2").

And I mean with the top up.. I know someone would jump in if not clarified.

Was going to say the exact same thing.

I am the same height, and my Z fits like (insert pic of Lewis Skolnick from "Revenge of the Nerds") his pants

I'm 5'11" and the first thing I did was take my Z from Phoenix to Vegas for a short weekend. Other than the swamp *** (downside to amps under each seat!), it was comfortable top up or down.

I'm 6'4", and fit comfortably in the drivers seat. My head clearance is about 1/2" (so avoid offroading with the roof up!) and there is plenty of legroom. The only problem I do find in a long trip is pressure on the sides of the butt from the narrow seat pan, but other than that, I have no problems with it!

Hope that helps!

I'm 6 feet and I love my 350ZR but it is a little small when it comes to legroom. I just bought my brothers 03 Mustang GT convertible is much more comfy even though the 350 is a much better car. The last 350 coupe felt a little small also. If I wanted a hardtop I would've bought a G35.
