I'm 6'2" 184 lbs in a Porsche Boxster, which I believe has a lower roofline than the Cayman.

I fit in just fine, it feels a bit tight if you get in from big car, but I got used to it quite quickly.

At 6'1", 180, the seat bolsters feel snug on me.... would probably be annoying if I were 50# heavier.

I'm about your same size Lifted and yep the Boxster feels a bit snug but so do most smallish cars I get into (I had a Mustang Cobra before the Porsche, those seats were terrible). I joke that I'm about 3 biscuits away from being too fat for the Boxster but it really isn't the case, as long as you're still limber and not out of shape getting in and out isn't an issue.

i'm 6' / 245lb. i fit ok in the box. i'm all torso, though. my legs are pretty short for my height (30.5" inseam). if my legs were much longer, the boxster would not be very comfortable. the new caymans / boxsters have a little more room.

i fit fine in the 996 and even better in the 997.

No short and fat person driving Boxsters?

I'm 6'2" and 190lbs and I fit pretty good and that's one of the biggest reason I bought this car.

I am short and fat 5'8" 300#. I really have no problems in my '08 Boxster. It feels plenty roomy but I am used to not fitting well. Also I understand 987s have more interior room than the 986.
