I'm 6 '2, 205lbs and sometimes I wish I had a little more leg room. I have the seat all the way back and my legs are still bent quite a bit. It's not uncomfortable for the most part but sometimes I like to straighten and stretch my legs. A few weeks ago I took my Z to the dealer for it's first free oil change and while I was waiting I sat in a A/T Grand Touring model they had in the showroom and there was much more leg room than my M/T base model. I have plenty of head room in my car, and the seats reclines far enough.

i know this might sound stupid, but does anyone with big feet have troubles with the pedals? i wear a size 13 and find that most of my shoes make it a little bit harder to release the clutch and all...

Only thing I sometime have a problem with the pedals is that I basically cant my foot so that I can be really close to the brake and with my shoes size twelve sometimes I have to make sure I''m not hitting both pedals. I have mistakenly hit one when going for the other. Didn't have this problem in my tib but its a habit I picked up in Iraq because I always wanted to be able to hit the brakes or gas quickly and because it was more comfortable since it takes like 9000lbs of pressure make those things go lol. Funny long drives even at night don't botther me anymore drove 17 of the like 20 or so hours it takes to get from NC to TX with no prob and never felt fatigued. I actually think the seats are some of the more comfy I've sat in. Really like how they hug you

6'3" and I love the way this car fits me. Shifter location is perfect. No pedal problems... but then I always drive barefoot...

Has anyone tried replacing the seat rails with super low seat rails? I'm thinking of getting them but do not know if I should just get a racing seat instead.

I have sat in one before and it was really comfortable but i just want to know if it will be a comfortable ride for long drives?
I my self am 6'4 and there is plenty of room but if you have a long torso and short legs head room might be an issue

The Z's pedals aren't too bad. I wear 13's (8" steel toe work boots) as well except they're also extra wide but I don't really have much of a problem in my Z, my daily driver Civic on the other hand......ugh.

My buddy Bret is 6'4" and has been thoroughly enjoying his Z for 2 years now. He had 0 complaints on the drive up to NOPI in it last Friday. So, I think you are good.

The Z isn't too comfy on long trips but height has little to do with that. I am 6'4" 200lbs and I don't mind the crampiness at all.

I got the opposite feeling, I felt like I had a tad more head and leg room in the Roadster vs the Coupe... It might be the open feeling with the top down that makes it less clastophobic

Yeah pay attention to your foot position / pedal position / shoe size relationship like a few have mentioned. I only wear size 11 shoes but even I get my feet tangled up or caught under the adjacent pedal depending on what shoes I am wearing. (Driving in those square-toe dress type shoes is pretty much a no-no for me). I am just over 6'0" and 155 lbs. and my seat is a few clicks from the farthest back position, so I imagine you will be fine at 6'4" with the seat all the way back. The car really does have a nice driving position.
