6'2", moonroof and plenty of room, but here's the trick, because the first time I got in this car, I had headroom issues until someone showed me how I was trying to sit in it like a pickup truck instead of a sports car:
  1. Motor the seat all the way down
  2. Incline (tilt back) the seat a bit more than you normally would in your previous car
  3. Make up the distance you just created between you and the steering wheel by motoring the seat bottom forward towards the steering wheel (don't reduce the incline) and by motoring the steering wheel towards your hands.

That's it. Tons of headroom, a more relaxed sports car seating position, and a more cradled body fit.

If you're trying to sit vertically like prim Ms. Gladstone on a church pew bench seat, definitely give this a go instead.

I'm 6' 1" and I have the premium package and I have plenty of headroom. My seat isn't all the way down. I do have long limbs so my seat is quite far back and reclined pretty far.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I'm new to this site/forum, everyone is so friendly and helpful!

I will get G35 with moonroof/premimum then. I decided to get AUTO tranny instead of 6MT, now I will be able to incline the seat back more cuz I don't have to shift. Plus if I get married and have kids auto tranny is more practical. If I drive stick then I can't really touch the ladies in the passenger seat, that's what my friend said and boom that hit me.

Time to retire from driving stick(for now) but it's all good.

I just leased my G35 tonight - w/premium package and sunroof.

I'm 6' 4" and was very concerned about the headroom during the test drive, but found I could adjust the seat and fit comfortably. I'm picking up my car tomorrow so the dealership gave me a loaner to drive home. Did a bunch of driving around town tonight and don't find a problem with the space. I have pretty long arms and legs and not too long in the body, so that helps. Also, I've always preferred to set my seat back rather than sit straight up. Leg and knee room is fine.

Granted, there is no room behind my seat but that's not really my problem.

The other car I was looking at was the Acura TL, which does have more headroom but I found it more difficult to get in and out of for some reason. The front doors seem a little shorter on the TLs.

Does it really matter how tall other G35 drivers are? The bottomline is, it sounds like the car w/ sunroof is not quite tall enough for you so just get the one w/o sunroof.

It really doesn't matter how tall people are. It depends on how long their torso and neck is and how big their head is. There will be some 6'-4" people who have plenty of headroom and there could be some 5'-9" people who find the headroom to be tight.

Please don't buy the car w/ a moonroof simply because others on this forum are telling you that they're 6'+ and fit w/ no problem. Buy what works for you. Otherwise, you will find yourself experiencing buyers remorse as the top of your hair grazes the sunroof.

Are our 2007 seats different? Anyone tried this?

I am 6' and just cannot get comfortable driving with the seat reclined like my laz-y-boy.
