6'1 and I have a buddy who's 6'4-slim, the Z has a lot of leg room and my back doesn't hurt from longer drives; though I especially recommend playing with the seat control setting that controls how deep your back sits, I prefer to have an almost laying down sort of posture but even then head room is plenty and I can even wear a helmet.

- ‘24 Z NISMO
6'2" with a 33" inseam
I started with my seat all the way back, but I now like it one notch forward. No experience with the Sport/Perf seats, but I assume they're very similar to the NISMO as far as positioning, and many find the Sport/Perf more comfortable for daily driving. I've never had any issues with comfort/ergonomics whatsoever.
Past experience is an '03 350Z Track (cloth/manual adj) and '05 350Z Touring (leather/power adj). Seats in both weren't nearly as comfortable as the new Z. Track seats didn't have enough lower back support. Touring did, but still not overall as comfortable.
One thing that helps with the new Z vs my past 350Z's is the telescoping steering wheel. Neither 350Z had it, and with my upper to lower body ratio and arm length, to get into a good position on the wheel my legs were cramped. And with my legs in a good position it pushed my upper body too far away from the wheel. This hasn't been a factor at all for me with the new Z.

I am 6’5” and fit no problem. I have the seat all the way back and the bottom back section all the way down.
I have only driven it on 2 2 hour+ rides and I was fine.

6'2" here and average build. Not skinny and not large. The Z is very comfortable for me. Don't get me wrong, I am a little snug on the sides of the seat but leg room is great and I have no issues.
Been on an 8 hour trip where I stopped once almost exactly halfway to get gas and something to eat and i was fine. It's a very good long-trip car.

I'm 187cm (6'2") and slim. I hit my head on the roof if I even think about a bump.
I'm on the hunt for lower seat rails, if it's even possible to mount the stock seats any lower. I quite like the seats for comfort, even thought they are a bit short on the thighs. Longer support might cause access problems, and I'm getting too old for access problems.

6' 6" here, about 220 lbs. There is a sweet spot in the seat adjustments that allows me to fit in with about 1/2" of head room. I tested both the Sport and the Performance, and went with the Sport, in part as it seemed to have a bit more room. Both models are listed as having the same head room, that was just my experience. Lots of leg room, just get one and you'll love it. Still breaking mine in and looking forward to taking it up a notch later in the summer.

Well, getting in is a bit of a clown show, I sort of fall in more than anything, but the manual seats in my Sport allow the back of the seat to drop down enough that I'm comfy. Don't get me wrong, I'd like another inch or so of head room... but it works. I took a three hour drive yesterday along a windy back road and everything is good. For me, the first time I sat in the 2024 Sport that I test drove, I was worried it would be too tight, but was also having so much fun I forgot about the ceiling. Maybe we adjust, and maybe I'm just accommodating the space, IDK, but so far, it works. Maybe your legs are longer than mine, I have a tall trunk and was able to move the seat forward one notch to get the seatback to go one click further. And, I did notice the Performance seemed to give less room, again, not sure if that is the case or if I just wanted a reason to not spend an additional amount for the Perf over the Sport.

Getting out isn't much prettier, either. But it's all good. Loving this car, it's been a week today since I picked it up, and every time I go for a drive I'm all smiles.Oh ssssheit that drop into that seatI always look awkward getting in, but hell yes! its so much fun once Im inside, I feel like I'm in a cockpit.

Not in the least. The car has some flaws, but overall it's wonderful. I'll just continue to throw money at the problems until I find solutions.
