Craig, I think that a lot of bigger guys who have trouble with smaller cars (lotus Elise, for example) fit quite comfortable in the 986. Leg room on the right can be a bit of a constraint for some, but a center console delete will quickly remedy this.

Btw, with foot drop on the right, you may have a harder time with the manual. I wouldn't call it prohibitive by any means, but some of the finer aspects of shifting (heel-toe, throttle feathering, etc) may be quite difficult. I would definitely drive one before you buy to see how it feels for you - at the end of the day that's all that matters.
