No way champ. There has been plenty of posts about the size of everyone and there are plenty of people of 6 feet. Im 6 feet 1 and I fit in extremely well.

The only problem you may find is if you have broad shoulders the standard seats might not fit that well, IMO anyway.

As always

Yeah that is one thing, I have longer legs than my arms are proportional so my legs are bent a llittle more than I would like to make my arms comfortable on the wheel. It's not a major difference but over 5 hour trips it starts to affect my comfort. Also, my lats feel squished inside the upper bolsters and I have to readjust my position every so often. I am 6 ft, 185 lb. thin - athletic build depending on how much working out I have been doing. If you have a big beer belly it might get kind of close to the wheel. If you have a big *** then it will be squished between the lower bolsters. I think how wide you are def. will affect how comfortable you are much more than how tall you are. There is plenty of headroom also.

I'm 6'3" 260lbs. I'm a big guy. I have no problems getting in/out/ or sitting in my Z. I dont even have to push me seat all the way back. When i first got the car i had my seat all the way back with the the back of the seat reclined a little. I soon learned that the i was not using the seat correctly (as i my body would get tossed left and right in hard turns). Then i moved the seat foward (about to "clicks" from the most rearward postion) and moved the back of my seat to a more upright postion. My body was now closer to the wheel (still at a comfortable postition) and my legs were still comfortable as well. I found that the seat now "held" me firmly positioned through hard cornering.

btw-cloth seats no leather

ps but don't take my word for it....go sit in one....you'll see. just have your check book ready...cause your gonna buy it!!!

LOL -- that's exactly what happened to me. I drove up to my Nissan dealership just to see if I could fit in the car. Two hours later, I drove it home. Needless to say, the wife was a little miffed.

BTW, 6'1", 220 lbs. with broad shoulders and I fit in the car just fine.

I'm 6'2" @ 265 lbs. The Z and G35 (minus moonroof) are the only two sporty cars that I truly fit into. My hips are a little wide for the touring edition seat, but I fit and as the seat breaks in a bit it should be a perfect fit.

If you weigh about 450+ lbs, then yeah, I think you might have a problem.
