I have a coupe Z right now, but interested in a convertible. To those who have the roadsters, how tall are you?..and is it a comfy fit?

I'm about 6'2" and curious if my head would be over the roll bars behind the seats? I'd hate to risk flipping the car and have no protection from the roll bars.

I sat in an s2000 the other day for the first time and overwhelmed how tiny it is inside! I could barely move. My knees were in the dashboard and head over the roll bars!

Besides the Z, anyone know of any covertible sports cars for taller people?

 

6'0", 250lbs here, and the ZR fits me great.

 

coupe all the way, conv are fugly

6' 3" and the 350z roadster fits me perfectly! As little room as there is in this car, it has lots of leg room and headroom.

Your head does stick above the roll bars. BTW - I looked at the roll bar the other day. It is a lot heavier than I thought that it would be. It might help you in a rollover.

im 6'4" and the coupe is fine for me, cant say about the conv. though...

 

... yeah, but you get all couped up in the coupe...

 

i am 6'4 and the convertible is fine, good headroom and lots of legroom.

 

I wa s Nissan car salesman and got to hope from one to the other back and forth. I'm also 6'6 so my opinion carries some weight. You should be fine with the head room. The problem is that there is about an inch or one and a half inch lsess leg space. The seat doesn't roll back as far. For most people that wouldn't be a problem but for guys like me it is, especially if you do lots of long driving.

 

Hell, I'm 6'5" and one of my cars is an Alfa Spider. No rollbar at all and my head is even above the windshield. What do you plan on doing that might involve flipping the car?? Keep all 4 wheels on the ground! You'll be much happier in life!

 

I'm 6'3" and in looking at both the coupe and roadster, I also noticed that the seat does not go as far back in the 'vert as in the coupe; I couldn't get it to where it was ideally positioned for me. I could get it back far enough, but when it's all the way back, it's too upright for me and there's no room to recline it even a notch or two. The coupe's seat is much easier to get perfectly positioned for a tall guy.

 

you wont flip the Z! hehehehe but yea i also ride around in my friends S2K a lot and it sooo damn uncomfortable... im 6' 1 so if he gets in a wreck... my legs would be crushed...

 

Too tall is when you get bug splatter on your forehead.

 

The roadster has more headroom (about an inch) but you cant recline the seat as much, I also have a friend who has a s2000 and I'm about 6' 2'' and can't fit in it at all.

 

Trust me, I dont plan on flipping the car ha ha! But neither do most people that die in car accidents. Better safe than sorry...I want all the safety I can get!
