Default 6'4" driving the car at this height or above.350z Hopeful

Hey man I sat in an 07 350z today and I felt cramped as one can feel. I was wondering if any other drivers are 6'4" or above that can give me a report on the daily getting in and out of the car and also the shifting of the six speed. I felt like I would hurt if I was stuck with the car in traffic. Any way sorry for going on and on but please any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm close at about 6'3" and my head just touches the roof. When I hit a bump I usually hit my head on the roof . I don't drive it daily or make long trips so I'm ok. It has a enough legroom for me with the seat all the way back at least. My only real issue is that I often can't see stoplights with out kind of leaning down to see, because of the angle of the roof/windshield in relation to where the height my head is at.

im 6'3 and i dont have a problem on long trips or anything. Seeing red lights can be a problem now that i think about it. But leg room and head room are fine. i have at least an two inches to the top.

Yeah my hair used to touch the roof but I shaved my head so now have about an inch of clearance.

It depends on your body length . Im just 6'2" and my head is jambed into the top if I put the seat in an upright position . I have to lean the seat back and move the whole seat foward a little to be in a good driving position

6'4 here. No problems. Very rarely will my hair brush the headliner. Shifting and getting in/out are not a problem.

This is one of those questions that's hard to answer since everyone is built differently. Honestly, if you felt cramped in it, then it may not be the car for you, particularly if you're going to spend a lot of time sitting in traffic. The Z is an awesome car, but not so awesome that you should have to suffer to own one.

Good Luck.

I am 6'2 and I have plenty of headroom, I don't even have the seat all the way back, but I do recline the seat a tad, I have a good 3 to 4 inches between my head and the roof. The biggest problem, as others have stated, is seeing things high above the road, such as high stoplights, UFO's, and tall women on the sidewalk.
