LOL, all of you are a bunch of freaks! What did your parents feed you when you were kids? One good thing is that I'm average (5'10" 34" inseam) so I'll fit perfectly in the car. I do wish I was an inch or two taller, naw, its all good.

6'2" (and 1/2 if you must know), 34" inseam ~200lb and I fit fine with the cloth seats.

I did find that I had to play with it a bit as it was a little uncomfortable for my back, but that's another issue and is not the car or seat, but my back.

Are you saying the Premium Package is required to order the G35C, or that you have to have options in the premium package personally?

Originally, in the first allocation (or two), you did have to get the whole package, but since mid October, that has not been true. If I go the G35C route, I'm getting the 6MT without sunroof.

I'm 6'2" with a 30" inseam, and after reading this I'm wondering if my legs are too short for my body? Anyway, I fit in this car with ease, and have plenty of room everywhere.

Why yes, they are! :P

I'm 6"1' with a 34" inseam and I weigh somewhere between 185 and 190. The Z seats do fit slightly better than the G35, because the G35C is tighter in the butt area. Both seats IMO are too short under the thighs, though, but that is typical of imports I've found.

BTW, why is tonight the night of the long deceased threads?

lol. I must be a freak too... I'm 6'3" with a 32" inseam. I didn't preorder because I didn't think I'd fit. It's a little tight on the headroom, but I've got about an inch to spare, and that was good enough for me. It's the first sports car I've EVER fit in, and I ordered almost as soon as I sat in one.

Freak ! I'm 6'3" and I buy 38" length pants for stuff that shrinks (jeans, dockers) and 36" for dress pants.

I think the leg room is fine, but I would prefer another 1"-2". A friend of mine is 6'4" and he is all uppper body because he doesn't fit in anything. While I have about 4" above my head in the Z his head hits the roof. You just have to go sit in the car yourself and see.

I have two rules when buying a new car:

1) I have to be able to put 2 fingers between the top of my head and the roof.

2) I have to be able to touch my knees together without the sterring wheel getting in the way.

I'm 6-2 225 and I fit fine in the Z (the one I sat in). If the S2000 had tilt I would fit in that but just barely.
The car that suprised me was the new Civic Si. t's the only car that I've ever sat in that I didn't take the seat all the way back. When I took the seat all the way back I could barely touch the pedals. Why can't they do this with all cars? 6'2 is not that unsual.

No offense, but if you're taller than 6'5 then you're a freak. I feel sorry for you guys since you will never be comfortable in any decent sports coupe. At least you can drive a few targas and roadsters if you're height isn't all in your legs. Oh well, how about getting an SUV instead?

please. i sat in every suv known to man. the only one with legroom is the trailblazer. but the sunroof eats a lot of headroom. and oh yeah, it's a chevy.

actually, i got used to the legroom in the Z. and yes, the new civic SI has loads of room. i'm thinking about one as a second car. i had a '96 civic coupe for 6 years before the Z. it was great.

and yes this thread is really old!
