Yes, the Z needs more head/leg room.













I'm 6'5"

When I first test drove my 350Z, when I opned the door, I thought it looked so tight and I loved it, because It looked like what a sports car should look like.

And when I sat in, It felt tight as well. But as time went by, it fells roomy. A little too roomy, and I sometime wish I could have that tight feeling back where the car felt like it was hugging me in.

This could just be me, though.

Leg room is fine, but winter makes me wish that I had a bit more room: Parka, gloves....all that stuff that you wear when the temperature is freezing.

I'm 6'3" and feel as if the Z has plenty of room.

I sat in an S2K and had no knee/leg room. Ultimately, because the Z is a 2 seater, you'll find that it is less spacious than a 1998 Mercedes Benz S420 Sedan.

Yeah, a surprisingly good amount of legroom. I wouldn't mind more headroom though.

I'm kinda short I guess.. 5'8". But the room in the Z is perfectly fine actually. I thought this taking a nap thing would be a problem , but I managed to figure out a position in the Z that's right for me that allows me to take a comfortable nap!

Feels great to me. I love my Z, and would never trade it in, sell it, will keep till I die. I think theres plenty of room, at least for me. I need another beer...

Drive an S2000 or a Miata and you'll feel like you can play football in your Z, .

I'm 5'3, so theres lots of legroom. In fact, I have to push the seat back so I can get out of the Z if I'm parked close to something and can't swing the door open wide enough to get my feet out.

Kneepads on some models? What for?? My knees don't come anywhere close to the centre console when I'm driving.
