Passenger seat is much more comfortable than the driver's seat. The driver's seat "features" those thigh bumps which just plain stink. Plenty of bolstering without them.

6'6" 350 pounds. I'm a big guy. My head rests just under the roof. If I hit a bump I will hit my head into the roof. MY legs rest against the door and the leg rest on the center stack and driving 3+ hours in the car starts to wear on my knees and legs as I can't dead pedal I pretty much have to hover over the clutch.

I feel like if the steering wheel telescopes at all I would fit perfect in it sans the head room, as I sit now i feel like I cant drive to the best of my abilities because I cant get my hands easily under the steering wheel over my legs. I have to push the seat back so far that I feel like my arms are not long enough for the steering wheel.

I'm currently wishing and praying I can find a seat that sits a tad lower that is also adjustable so my woman can still drive it.

Currently with the new Nismo, I can pull more Gs then my old '06 and i'm feeling the need for a seat that will hold me in place. I completely disagree with 337lee on that front. The bolstering is garbage. I will find my self pined against the car door in a high load corner.

6'3 200 pounds "athletic" build. Not a race car driver at all. Done a couple 6+hour road trips and feel just as fresh getting in as getting out.

It might be due to the "on road entertainment" (read: right foot shenanigans) but I find my Z comfier than my dads old 2001 Volvo which has the comfiest seats in the history of mankindness. I'm probably just tailored to the car.
