im thinking about getting myself a 95 240, and was wondering if maybe im too tall for it? ive looked at a few other cars, and didnt like them as much as i like the looks of the 240, plus i was too tall to be confortable in them. im 6'4". any of you guys pretty tall too? there arent any for sale here right now, or id go check myself. thanks guys.

I'm 6'2" and I have a 1992 240sx and I really don't have any trouble getting in, driving, or getting out. I believe the 95 and older have more space than the 89 thru 94 so you should not have any problems.

On that note I plan on upgrading to a 95 this spring and is there really room enough for more than two people? The s13 is great for two midgets and a couple chihuahas in the back.

yeah thats a good question....the only way people can ride in the back of my s13 is if i pull my seat all the way up so im on the steering wheel, deff. not a family car..just wonderin do the s14's have more space

First off I am 6'3 and I have plenty of room in my s14 when no one sits behind me. The front passangers have plenty of room and if someone sits sideways in the back there is room for 3, thats about it.

I'm 6'7" and I drive a S13 and I'm quite comfortable. The 240sx is one of the more comfortable small cars. I'm sure a 6'4" and in a S14 you will be fine.

dayum andre! haha. I'm 6'4" and I always have problems with getting in and out of cars because my legs have to squeez underneath the steering wheel. Once I'm in I'm comfortable though. I guess most of my height is in my legs. Is the 240 an exception?

I'm 6'3 with no problems (no back seat either) but no problems. One thing I've noticed I parked my maxima next to my 240 and they are both the exact same length and width. well I thought it was weird.

Definately not much back seat room. I'm 5'11 and my car can fit myself, a front passenger, a short passenger (right side)and a no legged passenger behind me. Otherwise the front seats have quite a lot of room.

When I have a helmet on while autocrossing, I'm too tall in my s14a.

My father is also too tall, we have to stick our head out of the sunroof.

Easiest way to find out is to sit in one.
