Default Noob here... How tall are you ?

Thinking on a Z...
I'm 6'7" and went and sat in the Z and was pretty comfortable...
Was wondering how the tall members liked the fit after some time?

I am 6'4" and fit allright. I don't fit into hardly any car properly, so in general the Z is average for me. In terms of a sports car, I was actually surprised that I have as much room as I do...

yeah i was surprised i fit in the z at all. I have really long legs so long trips in the z arent the best, but for less than one hour drives its fine. The only thing that really bothers me is that i cannot heal toe in this car. Its impossible.

I`m 6'2 and fit pretty well. The only thing i don`t like is that even with the adjustable steering wheel, my knee still touches.

I'm only 5'7 but I'm mostly legs, you know us girls we have to wear our high heels too so I'm about 5'11 after the shoes!! I had a hard time when I was looking for a car, the Celica was so small that I had to crawl out on to the ground! The Z has alot of room for a sports car and a great car she is!! Just remember there is no limit to how long you can test drive. Take a sales person with you and stay out a hour or two and see if its still comfortable!! (If you plan on taking a long test drive make sure you take a sales person, you don't want them to call it in stolen!!)

6'5" My head rubs against the headliner if I sit up straight or if I have the seat straightened some. Other than that, no problems. I have plenty of leg room.

I'm also 6'7" and have to ride with my head a bit cocked to the side. I have to get my entire butt nearly off the seat in order to sit up straight....I'm used to it though. If I could just lower the seats an inch or 2 it will be perfect. Some day I'll find a way to do that.

I'm 5'7" too and fit quite well, but don't wear 4" heels.

I'm about 5' 7". Everytime I sit in my Z, I feel like I got swallowed up in a jet. The Z makes me feel short.............

I'm 6' (34" inseam) and I'm constantly checking to the seat to make sure its all the way back. Not sure how you taller guys fit in the car comfortably.

I know you are joking but for this guys info - the roadster may not be a good choice. I'm only 6'0 and I have to have my seat cranked all the way back.

6'1" here and I'm amazed at all the head room. Not an issue for me.

My issue is with the rearview mirror. My height makes the view look downward instead of straight back. I get to read a lot of license plates instead of seeing the driver.

My only complaint is if I recline the seat as much as I'd like to, the leather makes an annoying rubbing noise when it comes in contact with the plastic behind the seat. I just try and turn up the radio.

6'2", have a Touring Roadster. No problems at all. But with the Enthusiast trim I couldn't get comfortable in the cloth seats. Don't know what the difference is, maybe they're stiffer or something?

6'4" with 36" inseam.

I fit pretty well and have good headroom. However, I have a 04.5 touring so I have height adjustment with the seat, which I couldn't have considered the car without.

I drove it 8 hours to Atlanta and back and didn't use the cruise (on purpose) to test the comfort. The car was actually very comfortable considering.

What does bother me is if I drive with any shoes that have any sort of height in the heel my legs feel a little cramped. That and I wear a size 12 shoe so I have certain pairs I prefer to drive with.
