Seat Issues, Ugly Rollbar

[TimAustinW]

Wow! I totally disagree about the rollbar being ugly. Do you have the mesh wind screens and and the plexiglass wind restrictor on your boxster? Personally, I love how it all comes together. I've seen some people add an additional straight across rollbar above the existing one but that's usually just on track cars. Not too fond of that look.

Without pictures I am not sure why you say you have an ugly rollbar. The rollbar is one of the distinctive looks about a Boxster. If it is just the color, then paint them, if not then I don't know what to tell you.

As far as being 6'4" and driving a Porsche, the two don't go together very well. Your only hope with the seats will be getting the GT seats but those are pretty pricey. I am 6'1" 205lbs and I find it cramped and I practically have to roll out of the car because it is so low. I can only imagine how much fun it is for you trying to get in and out, especially when the top is up.

Sometimes it's nice to be 5'8" Not only is it regulation dart board height but you can easily get out of your Boxster

The roll bar is subjective, I suppose. I actually like the looks of the individual rollbars, and prefer them without the windscreens in place.

I, like you, am 6'4" and the only problem I have with the rollbar is the back of my mellon hitting it from time to time. Unlike you, I am perfectly comfortable in the Boxster, both in seat height and legroom, so I have not researched replacement seats but I am certain that you can find what you need.

This is an area that I was very concerned with when shopping for the car. I've driven other Porsches that I had serious fit problems in, but the Boxster just fits me like a glove - it's actually much more comfortable for me to sit in than the Audi A4 it replaced. Just goes to show you how different two people of the same height can be in dimension.
