Default I fit!! Awesome News for Tall guys see inside!!

Allright, after hours of searching these forums for threads on big guys in the Zed (I'm Canadian), I finally had the chance to go sit in one myself. Unfortunately it was sold and just about to get prepared for delivery so no test drive for me. Here's the details, I'm 6'7", 275lbs and I have a 36" inseam. The seat was all the way back, and about 90% reclined. I slipped right in and was comfortable. There was enough room for my right knee to move up and down between the steering wheel centre console. My left knee cannot move up and down between the steering wheel and door panel, but I have room to use the clutch regardless. Shoulder room was cozy and comfortable for me, but I'm comfortable in tight places. The steering wheel was all the way up, the seats were the power ones. I can't wait to order mine now!!! Hope this helps, but you'll never be sure until you sit in one yourself.

Just wait. You will get a sore neck from constantly hunching down to use the rear view mirror. :c

I know I do, and Im only 6ft.

Maybe it will work better because you can lay your seat down more and still reach the wheel comfterbly.

For me, the RearView Mirrior is the only thing that really bugs me about the Z.

Oh, I have the non power mirror.

edit: rear-view mirror is also excellent imho.

I'm 6ft and I dont have any problems. Since you tested the power seats did you know you can lower it?

Dude, go ask Pat Quinn for a tryout. They could use some size on the blueline.

Seriously, take a test drive first and make sure you're comfortable!

You can lower the seats. And I believe the Rear mirror is "height adjustable"?

Im 6'2" 225...still kinda average size for a guy, but I was very glad to sit in the car the first time and feel totally comfortable.

I would my freind, but I play goal, and we're more that covered in that area for right now.

I am going to take it out for the test drive when the dealership near me gets another one in.
