G35C for big guys

I went to go test drive the G35c today, and although an awesome car (that engine sounds gorgeous), it kinda got me worried that maybe a 6'1, 185 pound guy like me may not be 100% suited for that car. During the test drive I was fine, but I'm thinking about how I would feel on rides longer than 2 minutes. Any of you G35c owners out there big guys like me? How is it? Did I just not adjust my seat right? haha

I'm 6'2", and have varied in weight from 230 lbs to currently 185 lbs. The car has fit me fine throughout the 3 1/2 years I've owned it. I've driven it up to five hours with a single brief fuel stop without any comfort issues, and that's with 35-series tires on it.

It's no Cadillac, for certain, but it's not a dump truck either.

Meh. I'm 5' 6, 130 (if I'm lucky). I feel like it can definitely hold bigger people, I feel somewhat distant from the controls. Don't drive an IS if you think the G is small.

6'1" 240. Just remember to keep your seat low & at a good angle along with the steering wheel at a good angle too. You will be fine.

You will not have any problems at all with the G35c. Im 6'1 185 also and have no problems at all. I have taken for a 5hr drive to go and pick up new exhaust and had no problem. lol

My best friend always rides passenger in my Coupe, and he's 6-6 230 and fits in there fine.... at least on the passengers side.

I'm only 5-9 and 145, and the car is just fine for me too... the only problem is that if you have tall people in the front seat, you can pretty much rule out being able to put anyone in the back seat behind them since the front seat will be pretty far back and leave no legroom for the rear passengers.
