How tall is too tall for a convertible?
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' 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.

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.

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.
