Default Big & Tall owners, rate your comfort.

I'm about 6'6 240 and felt a little tight sitting in the drivers seat but headroom and leg room felt good. I've only spent about an hour behind the wheel test driving. Looking to hear from the big & tall who own and drive a 350z

6'4 215lbs. leg room is a little tight, would have liked to be able to move the seat another 2 inches backwards. Not sure if all models have the same leg room? My HR has the BOSE sound system and my seat touches the sub.

6'4, and 250 lbs, I fit just right. I think if I was any taller I'd be uncomfortable. I sit in a very upright position though so my back isn't slouched.

I'm 6 foot 225 pounds and as long as I don't drive it for more than a few hours I'm fine but my next weekend car will be bigger inside. I have a convertible and the top hasn't been up since 2013 which makes it easy to get in or out. If I had a hardtop this car would've been sold a few years ago, too hard to get in and out.

6'1 and 215 with a long back, I fit comfortably with a little less than an inch of headroom and more than enough leg room.

6'1 and at 235 I still felt like I had plenty of leg and head room even with a helmet. I prefer to sit relatively close to the steering wheel however. I even took a 15 hour road trip in it and I never felt like the seat or car in general was making me uncomfortable.

I've read before in these forums that the roadster is more cramped and that the coupe is better for tall people, at least when you are driving with the top up. People have also said that the 370Z feels roomier.

6'6 300pds

I removed my driver seat and added the corbeau XXL wide bucket seat and a deep dish smaller diameter steering wheel. I fit like a glove... but then again no one else can drive my car unless they are 6'6 or taller.

We went to Italy for holidays last year. We spent there about a month and all that time I was driving Smart for 2. After coming back home I was so glad to get back to my Z, but, Holy baby Jesus how tight it felt comparing to smart)))

6'2, 212. I have long legs/arms, but find it comfortable. Especially if you take your shoes off, you can position your feet behind/on the side of the clutch/gas pedals. Ive driven it from Phx to San Antonio...no issues. My seat is all the way back, and the seatback is leaned back to where it rests on the sub enclosure.

6'1", 235, got my 05 after I could walk again (broken back 4 months prior). Feels fine to me.
I'd only go bigger for more passengers but the goes without saying.
