Cant you get a test drive? Have seen some complain they have trouble using the rear view mirror if too tall. Just check it all out!

I'm 6'1" and 165lbs and I have a ton of room. The only problem I have is what was stated above: the rearview mirror just shows me the license plate of the car behind me.

I'm 6'3" & 185, I fit no problem... Its tighter than some cars, but I had major issues fitting in the S2000. Best thing to do is go drive one, or at least sit in it. Height wise you should be fine.

I'm 6'3" and 205 lbs. and the car feels like it was made for me. My brother's 6'4" and has trouble with leg room so I think I might be at the upper limit of what'll fit. Definitely more room inside than what it looks like on the outside, though.

I'm 6'7 almost 6'8" 250+ and I fit fine in the Z. I am very comfortable! Only thing is I have troubles seeing out of the rear view mirror, so I just use the side mirrors.

Yup I'm comfortable! I guess its because I am use to driving small cars. My last car had less room. It was a 92 prelude. Whats up with tall guys driving small cars, and short guys driving big cars? lol

Picturing a 6'7" guy getting out of a Z reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Nelson is making fun of a really tall guy driving a small hatchback (ha ha!) and the guy stops, get's out of his car, and punishes Nelson by making him walk down the street with his pants by his ankles. Lol. Of topic, but Simpsons..Best..Show...Ever..

6'5" here - no problem even with helmet on (mostly)

everyone - please try pulling the bar of the rear view mirror down then readjust the mirror upwards on it as far as it will go - really improves rear veiwing - does put it a bit lower to block forward viewing but...

i cant see $**t out the back when the mirror is pushed up against the roof but it is almost normally at it's lowest position...

good luck!

6'3", 205, no problems fitting in the coupe. More room than most of the sporty cars out there, I know because I test drove about 30 others before ordering my '06
