Are you sure the seat is all the way down? I'm 6'4" and I fit in the Boxster.

Here's what you do....
Move the seat forward as far as you can. Raise the back to vertical. Lower the seat. Slide it back. Recline the back.

The first few Boxsters I sat it had the seats up high and I didn't fit. I tried lowering them all the way, but I had already moved them all the way back. I still didn't fit. Then I read about doing the above procedure. I went back and sat in one I had already tried and I fit fine.

That's interesting; not that my height is a problem, but I enjoy hearing of these nuances from time to time. I'll have to let my tall friend know, even though he seems comfortable in his Box S.

It's funny. When I got my car I went through this routine and was moderately comfortable in the car. Yesterday my wife drove it. She moved the seat up longitudinally and vertically. When I got in, I went through the procedure again, and the seat went lower than I had it previously. I'm amazed at how much room there is in this car for tall people.
