I'm 6'0" and its all good. I think the only concern here is learning how to get in and out of the car. At first it required a little effort but after a while it became second nature and it is very easy to get in and out of.

6'2" 218 pounds long legs and arms and I have no problem. I actually move the back of the seat to be more upright so that my arms bend a little more. The ride is not a luxury car ride it is a sports car. You feel every crack in the road and every bug you run over. I bought the car to drive and I enjoy the feeling of direct contact with the car and the road rather than the complete disconnect you get from most cars nowadays.
I have driven a lot of sporty cars, sports cars and luxury cars and I cannot fault the Z at any point for what it purports to be. The Z is designed to give you feedback the whole time you are driving. Between the tight steering the responsive gas and brake pedals (particularly if you have Brembos) I think the Z is a complete driver package that cannot be beat for the price.

However 90% of the time I am in the Z I am working all three pedals so I don't mind my legs being bent. In the Mazda I was more prone to cruising around rather than really driving so it wasn't an issue.
You definitely need to test drive one though.

And yes, I'm 6'2 and the Z is fine... perhaps just a little taxing to enter / exit, especially if you're 35 or over
