Hey all!! New to this forum, but I've been creeping around here for a while. I'm 6'10'', 280 lbs. (So I'm probably bigger than BigRig) Very soon I will be purchasing a 2010 Altima coupe with the 3.5 v-6 in that really nice crimson black color. I really like this car because I've been looking for a sporty car that I can actually fit in. This car actually amazes me with how much leg room and even head room it has for such a low-slung sports coupe!! I'm very happy and I will post some pictures when I get it. :woot:

6'10??? lol, dang, my friend that is a hair over 6'4" hates my car due to the lack of head room he has, although he does weigh about 20 pounds more than you, not sure if that has that much to do with it or not.

well Ranga, when my hair gets long, it rubs on the roof, but I like to keep it short, then I'm good to go. also the seat is all the way back and as far down as it will go.

So, I'm assuming no moonroof for you -- because it takes about 2 inches of headroom away. I've got one, I'm of pretty average height but "long-bodied" and I just make it!

Actually, the 3.5SR comes standard with a moonroof. I'm actually pretty long legged, so I don't have a huge problem with it.

I got it yesterday, and spent the whole day driving it around. I figure I won't post pics up cuz I'm sure everyone has seen a crimson black A/C.

But I take offense to stillbreathin's comment. Just because you're over a foot shorter than me, probably double my age, and overweight doesn't mean you can call me and Big Rig tall green a** 's.

I think it's true though, that every person I walk by gawks at me and asks how tall I am, and then quickly follows it with a basketball comment. Ya I obviously play basketball. I just want every short person out there to understand that along with hitting my head on doorways, being this height is mostly a burden...
