Default Will I be comfortable in a 350z?

Simple question.. Any taller or bigger people drive these cars? even with the seat all the way back? I just sold my 2003 eclipse gts, and i had plenty of room. I'm 6'3" 250lbs, will I be comfortable? Any taller people have problems? Thinking of buying one :P

Well, I'm just about as tall as you, and I have no problem with the seat most of the way back. I did a road course a month back and wore a helmet too, and I still had room, before touching the roof. But I'm only 180+lbs so dont know how you'll like the seats. I fit perfect in them. Best bet, ride down to Nissan, and take a seat, and drive it a little.

I'm 6'4 235 lbs and I drive a 350z Roadster which you can't even lean the seats back, and I'm very comfortable...

Nissan/Infiniti make the best cars for tall people...

Simple answer: Go test drive one and find out for yourself.

i'm 6'4 250 and I fit, but it's by no means as roomy as say the Eclipse you were driving.

When i first got my z i didn't care about the space, but after driving it for 4 years, I must admit sometimes I feel the seat could be mounted a few inches lower so I can have the head room that I have been used to in my previous cars (5G Honda Prelude, 1G Honda CR-V). It's not that my head touches the ceiling or anything, but its my hair that's the problem. The ceiling on the Z is low enough that I could get Gel or something all over the top fabric. But with that said, I have never gotten any gel on my ceiling because I've been careful, and my size has not affected the pure joy I feel every time I rev past 2.5k RPM.

the seat can be a bit snug for "wider" people, but that goes away, as the seat will eventually conform to your body

I'm 6'4 and a strong 280 with long legs and short torso in a Roadster. I have a couple of inches to spare of head room, plenty of leg room for a sports car, enough shoulder room, but I must say the seat width is snug. It's all in the name of love.

Everyone is built differently. Just go sit in one and find out for yourself. Its OK to make motor noises while sitting in it.
