6'5" I didn't fit in the Evo. I guess that's one of the reasons I bought the Z.

Your best bet is to go check them both though and see which one feels better.

I got a 2 door coup (oo prelude) and I hate it. I have a broken bone in my back and it is a feat to get in and out. I do not think that the 350z would be much better.

6'2" and I need the seat all the way back.. so just barely. Maybe its my long legs, but I would expect someone a bit taller than me to have comfort issues.

I am also 6'5" and have PLENTY of room in my evo. I have so much leg room that i dont have the seat all the way back, and so much head room that i can wear a helmet and not worry about hitting the ceiling.


btw being tall sucks when you love cars

How did you manage that???

I had the seat back all the way and my legs had to be wrapped around the steering wheel. I was in absolute PAIN in the matter of minutes!!!

... the only DISADVANTGE to being tall

actually im 6'4 250lbs....i had a 350z and it was one of the most comfy cars for me to sit in and drive...getting in and out can be a lil annoying but nothing too bad...i have driven many evos and they are comfy but to be honest i fit better in a Z....when it comes down to the car though i would go with the evo for the fact that its more driveable than the z...well depending where you live.

I fit comfortably in the Z but my only problem was visibilty due to the low roof line...

I'm 6'3 and I fit fine in the Evo even with a sunroof. Only problem I encounter is, because the clutch travel is so long, you kinda gotta shift bowlegged to keep from hitting the steering wheel with your leg, unless you tilt the steering wheel all the way up.
