Default Question on the seats

I am only 5’7” and I was reading the Forbes review and saw this.

"Speaking of adjustments, if you get the track model you can't adjust the fully manual seats for height. This matters if you're short because, unusually for a sports car, the Z is meant to accommodate real-size drivers, not gymnasts. In fact, Nissan almost errs on the side of capaciousness, since this smallish driver (5' 8") could only just get comfortable at the wheel and might opt for a model with electric seats just to be able to raise the perch to a less low-rider height."

But at the Nissan site the Track seats are described as follows.
• 6-way manual adjustable driver's seat

Does anyone know if the Track seats truly don’t adjust for height. What are the adjustments that add up to six? Thanks.

ZISME (who works for Nissan North America) says:

"Manual seats also have a height adjustment. Manual adjustment is on the side of the seat. Forbes was wrong."

All drivers seats have height adjustment so it shouldn't be a problem.

Do the seats adjust for height at the front and back? Has anyone sat in the car and adjusted the seat all the way up. I am only 5'9" and I like to sit very high in the drivers seat. Thanks for any info.

I hope no one brings a Z to town before Nissan delivers mine!

This is just a guess at this point, but I bought the base model G35, and it is listed as a 6-way manually adjustable seat. I have a front and rear height adjustment, backrest adj and slide, really an 8-way manual adjusting seat, with lumbar.
