I am 6'1" and don't move the seat all the way back. Plenty of room and very comfortable. My wife and I just finished a cross country drive and thought the car was more comfortable than our Acura or Toyota. Ours is a 2005 though and my understanding is that there is a little more room inside than in the 986. I could be wrong there though.

I'm 6'6" and about 295lbs. I can only drive the Boxster with my shoes off.....seriously. there's not much room in the foot well on the driver's side(well, not for size 12's anyway), plus the height of the shoes presses my thighs right up onto the steering wheel. with my shoes off, heel and toeing is no problem, I just have to position my foot on the brake properly...

It's my wife's car, so I only drive it when she's not in it and it's a really nice day to have the top off(something I can't do in my Z06)


Of course, she can't do a 1+G on the skidpad, or hit 155mph on the track in her Boxster S either

I have to say that in the S the electric sport seats are way better than my previous boxster's electric seats which were comfy but lacking back and side support.
I am not that tall 1.75m (5.74) but i find that space is a little limited, tried various seat and steering wheel positions i found one which is quite confortable for long journeys I then just have to push the back a little for track days to allow helmet fit.
