Default Is seat height adjustable on Enthusiast trim line?

Just one more question:

I'm 5'9'' (5'8' on a bad day). My wife is 5'2.

The Z has a high beltline and low seating.

Does the Enthusiast model have height adjustable seats?

Also, what does "6-way adjustment" of seats mean?

Thanks in advance.

Only the front of the seat goes goes up/down.

6 positions:
seat front/back
seat back tilt forward/back
seat front up/down

Default Seat Height

Although there are power seats on the Touring model, there is no adjustment for raising the rear edges of the seats. I was able to raise the seat height in car by 3/4", significantly improving front visibility and eliminating that "peeking over the top" feeling.

Went to a scrap metal yard and had them cut two, 3/4" thick spacers out of 1-1/2" round bar stock. Took them to a machine shop and had centered holes drilled in the two spacers. Bought longer 8 mm mounting bolts (1.25 pitch) at a local hardware store. Installed the two spacers under the rear edges of the two driver's seat rails. Total cost -- $30. Total time -- 3 hours.

I'm 5'8" and I am perfectly comfortable and can see fine in every direction in my Enthusiast.

we only have 6 ways, not 8 ways.. so the short answer is no height adjustment in any model. I don't believe the G35C has height adjustable seats either.
