I'm 6' 4" plus, 230 lbs. I also track my Z. When I put on a helmet, my head used to hit the headliner. I added a roll bar, and the bar caused me to lose 4" of seat travel, then I was REALLY cramped. Had to install a racing seat and custom brackets to get the seat low enough and far back enough to fit without hitting my head.

I really wish the Z had a telescoping steering wheel! My long legs force the seat to be all the way rearward, but the wheel is just stuck in the same place.

 

lol i was going to post the same thing. The only way i can fit with a helmet is to have the seat back really far up so my head is in the higher part of the roof line which is really unconfortable, and my head still hits...

6'4" 240...

 

Huh, I didn't think about clearance for a helmet. I'm looking to do some track events in '06 so hopefully it fits. As of right now, if I sit upright, I barely have any clearance.

 

if i had about 4 more inches of leg room, it would be perfect.

 

ditch your factory seats and get full bucket seats.. will give you more room and better hug

 

I'm 5'10 and 200LBS. Keep trying to get under that number. Oh well, back to the topic; I do not have to put my seat all the way back and plenty of head room for a helmet. If I want to take a nap, I jump to the passenger side where if I pull the seat up a bit I can recline the seat to a very nice angle. Give me a throw cushion or two and blanket and I am good for five hours or so.

Really for a sports car it has quite a bit of room inside. I am quite impressed, even more so as time goes by ....

 

6'3'' and I think it's very comfortable. I even think the head room is fine, except when wearing a helmet.

 

6.2 @ 190lbs - Z seems just fine...

 

If it were a customizable Z, I would have the roof line lower and seat lower to the floor and make the whole car shorter than it is. I think its a bit tall for a sports car, any more headroom increase with the current setup would not sport car like anymore.
I think Nissan has made a decent compromise with practicality, but could be better.

 

5'10" 210. No problems in the cockpit. No problems getting in and out, , unless, , , I'm in a parking lot and there's a car too close on the drivers side. Having to hang on to the door to prevent a ding or keep the door from taking off my foot before I can get my butt out of the vehicle seems to be a chore. I'm sure I have looked like an idiot getting out of a tight parking spot more than once. And then looked around to see if anyone saw me.

 

I'm 6'5" and let's just say that I better not have a growth spurt anytime soon ... which is probably a safe bet at 31 years old. Wish there was just a couple inches more leg room, but that's it. Overall, no complaints.

 

5'11/195 no problems with fit or getting in and out, but I wish there was better lumbar support. (Old guy with bad back syndrome)

 

I had to get custom lowered seats to get enough headroom in my Z.....legroom is just right....I'm 6'7" and 250 lbs.

Oddly enough I've found the new IS350 has nearly 2" less headroom than even the Z!!!! Kinda puts that one out of the picture.....I've been using the Z as a comparison to the IS for cab dimensions on another forum to show how ridiculous that is.....the Miata has about the same headroom as the IS.

 

I'm 6'1'' and I think it's perfect to me. I have no problems getting in or out of my car or having any type of elbow room inside the car.

 

I hear ya, I saw a miata at publix today and I thought to myself i would never be able to fit into that car.

 

wow, man my Z would be for everyday use and to burn people at red lights, but more power to you.

That is why I think that the roadster would not necessarly give me more leg room, but more freedom of not having that cramped feeling.

 

It's very roomy for me...I drove a BMW Z4 and that was really scary...I'm kinda small and even I felt cramped in it...

 

NOT AT ALL! im 5'5 135lbs and girls i date are shorter then me so u name the position oooOO yeah it works PERFECT FOR ME! hahahahah before i ever sat in the Z i thought it was goin to be like a S2k...ELBOW touching ELBOW..but I remeber the first time i sat in my Z (i own it now) i was like WOW! this **** is hella bigger then i thought...so im very happy inside...its perfect for me..

 

Is it just me or does that lady look like a midgit in that roadster?

 

I pulled up behind a RX-8 at a gas station this morning and the Z looks way bigger. The RX and it's back seat would make you even more crampped. Anyway, I think a sports car is supposed to give that snug feeling. I am 5' 10 @ 150 and fit just right by the way
