Im 6 2 and about 180llbs, I do find it a bit tight in the Boxster, Ive got all the seat adj as far back and as low as it goes and still would prefer a little more room, I dont know how someone taller than me would fit, maybe it depends on the leg to body length ratio.

Do you have a 986 or a 987? The 987 offers more leg and headroom, with the re-design.

6' - 255 lb. and no problems at all. The 987 is roomier than the 986s I test drove, but I drove my avatar at 235, so, tight fit in a Boxster? I doubt it!!
The cayman does seem to have more headroom than the box, but, maybe because you know the top won't go down, the cayman felt a little "clostrophobic" to me and the box doesn't......?

I'm only 5'7' and 170 lbs (I have a large back from working out) and the seats are extremely tight for me. My lats rest on the support wings of the seat. Fortunately, it's a weekend car. As a daily driver, it would drive me nuts!

ive got a 986, when I first got the car my head was almost in the breeze until I realised I need to move the seat forward so I could then lower it further.

I'm 6'3" and 212#. My 986 with the GT# console delete kit is very comfortable.

The shame is that I absolutely can NOT own a 987 or Cayman as the darn vertical portion of the console is intrusive and it can't be removed or altered.

I agree. I would have sold my car if it were not for the GT3 delete option. I considered upgrading for the extra 50 hp, but the 987 is just not comfortable enough with the new console preventing the GT3 delete option.

I'm 6'1" and 245. I was a Div 1 linebacker 10 yrs ago and still have the same basic build, just a little softer

And as you and other tall guys know, that console is a problem with almost every car on the planet today. Disgusting......
