Considering A Coupe

Whats going on, I'm interested in getting a 2 door 6MT car and I'm more than in love with the G37. I'm def taking my time with this purchase and plan on researching the hell out of it, as I do with everything.

I'm 6'6" 245 and just want to know for those around that size how do y'all fair on a daily basis, especially driving a manual? I already sat in one and adjusted everything the way I would if I owned one haha. The leg room was a little short same as my current car but this time I'll be using a clutch. Also is the 08 37S fully loaded or are their additional packages that are options?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and any other additional info I should be aware of is more than welcomed. Many thanks in advance.

I had an 08 6MT coupe, sold it and got a 2011 6MT vert last week. Honestly, I feel that the vert has more headroom than the coupe did. I'm 6'3" and whenever I hit a pothole in the coupe and the car jumped my head would hit the ceiling (and I had the seat moved all the way down). The vert definitely has a lot more head room (even when the top is up) . Aside from that I have long legs and I have more than enough room with the coupe & the vert when pressing the clutch.

Yes, the G37S 6MT's are fully loaded. The only thing that is optional is the Technology Package (intelligent cruise control, adaptive headlights, speed sensing wipers) and the rear OEM spoiler.

GL with the search.

Thanks for the awesome info helps a lot. When I get this car it will be my first manual so I wanna be as prepared as possible (I'm even learning how to drive stick just for this car). If I had the vert money I'd have the 08 coup now hahaha but I'll manage with the pot holes kinda of a pro now due to living in MA. Thanks again.

I read your title and thought maybe you wanted to overthrow a country. But you're just looking for a car.

I'm only 6'2" and in my 08 there is just barely enough headroom. I have the seat reclined just slightly more than I'd want to normally. I've gotten used to it. But I think you are too big to be comfortable in this car for regular driving.

Definitely forgot the e in coupe, but I might just have to get used to that cramped space haha. I'm also looking into extending the seat rails to allow the seat to go back a little further.

it will be a tight squeeze but the positive thing is with the stick you have a little bit more elbow room on the right too
