350Z Seating Postion

[(steven)]

Had a look at a 350z today. Only red flag was the seating position. I am 6ft 2in, so I like a bit of legroom and a couple of things bugged me:

- Seat didn't go back that far
- Seat seemed to sit a little high
- Steering column seemed to lack flexibility - Only adjustable in one axis

How do the taller drivers on PH find driving these cars? I am sure it would be fine for a short journeys but I wasn't sure how good they would be for more serious trips. Certainly not up to the adjustability of the M3 I sat in half an hour before (or my 10 years old mondeo for that matter). Main thing that was really bugging me was the clutch pedal seemed high, compared to the footrest and my leg kept hitting the steering wheel.

I am 6ft and have no problem with it. Longest day in the car so far was 850 miles back from the other side of Geneva....

Know quite a few taller owners and they say that its a matter of getting used to the driving position. The clutch is different but I regularily drive 300 mile plus and don have any problems.

6'2", 32" inside leg - no problems. Mine is a GT and has adjustable seat base - not sure if this is in the standard model. I got comfortable in the car after a few attempts amd I've driven 250 highland miles without a break no problem.

i'm 6' 6 and i'm pretty comfy in the Z.
When I first sat in one at the dealer [to see if I could fit] I felt a little cramped, but then when I sat in other I was fine. I think the dealers car must have had the front seat adjuster wound right up [you can adjust the front and the back of the seat]. It makes a lot of difference to have the seat flat.

Hope that makes sense!
