How tall are you, sir?
I am in a market looking for either Evo or 350Z. This car will be my first manual car, and I think my height may cause a problem sitting comfortably and shifting efficiently. BTW, I am 6'1 tall and 200lbs so you get the idea.

I have once sat in Evo @autoshow and space around me was not as big as my current ride, Lexus ES300.

Will my height cause a problem? Any comments will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I'm 6'1" and no problems. As far as I'm concerned you only have one choice, the Evo.

6'5" fit good in evo, cramped as hell in a G35 SC (similar to 350z).

Are you kidding me! 6'1" and you think you have problems fitting in cars? I'm 6'7" 280lb and I'm comfy as hell.
