lol i actually did like my car alot until recently, i have been on the go all the time and have put about 400 miles on it in the last 3 days and just growing tired of its handling and overall performance and how i fit in the damn thing, im 6'1 240 and i just dont feel super comfortable in it. i was thinking about maybe upgrading to 350Z or G35... if i do mods to my 04 v6 solara it will bring the resell down :(

6'1" 240...normal size to me. You're maybe a bit bigger than the SG average. I'm 6'3" 275lbs and I fit perfectly in there...did you try to bend down a bit your driver seat ?? It will give you more room.

I made 2 time, Montreal-Washington (675 miles) Total of 2700 miles and I felt very confortable. I also went camping in northern area in Quebec, I was with my firend and packed with a lot of camping stuff and so on....I raced a Civic SI and we were tight equal !! haha


It's your feeling...but I think, in a general way, it's nice to learn to appreciate our own things...because there is always a better car somewhere.

I'm 6'4" and fat and one reason I like the Solara was because it's big and roomy!

I wouldn't mind a little more leg room, but that goes for almost all cars.

LOL - if you want a G35 or Z then get one because that's what you really want... but trying to justify dumping your Solara for one of those because you're too tall doesn't make any sense at all since they're both smaller cars than the Solara. :roll:

thats what I'm thinking...Excuse to get into a faster car that feels like hell after 400 mile travel and gas is a pain especially when its 93 octane no doubt.

LOL, G35 and 350Z are both much smaller than the Gen2...

Milt fits in mine just fine =)

And once you start modding your Solara, you will feel better about the handling... mine now feels great... COs, RSB, FSTB... good sh!t... rips up the canyons!
