Entry (sitting down) question

[Doux]

I am also new to the Porsche world, and I almost did not buy the car because I could not fit my legs in under the steering wheel. I had the same problem of getting in... being 6'4" made the folding of the legs a problem.
I did the "seat back and reclined with wheel out" bit - but no dice... Still I was way too tight to use the pedals.
Fortunately, I figured out that distance from my foot to the floor was the problem. I removed the Porsche floor mat (about 1/2 inch lost), and got rid my my thicker soled Nike Air boots (about 3/4 inch+), got a generic very thin rubber mat and custom velcro'ed that in and I got a pair of thin soled driving shoes (a recommendation from a helpful Porsche salesman). I fit just fine now!
Also, I am very happy for the gentleman getting a Porsche at 70 - better late than never.
In my case, I had a heart attack in June (four stents saved my life), and I felt that this was the very best time for me to buy a Porsche - best therapy to date!

+1 on the driving shoes. I've got a pair of Piloti Sebrings - very comfortable shoes and they definitely add to the experience.

I wear a 12 EEE work boot all day but have to change to a different shoe to drive the Boxster. The shoe of choice is a pair of Vans Checkerboards.

I do have a pair of Puma driving shoes from my SCCA days, I'll have to give them a shot.

986S is easy compared to my old 951 with sport seats!!!

Stick right leg in, slide butt to the seat and pull left leg in ...

Yup, couldn't believe the car didn't have tilt when I picked it up last month. I'm short, so I don't have any problems getting in. What I don't like is the steering wheel cutting off my view of the top of the instrument cluster. And BTW, I'm 5'5" and have the seat all the way back. I don't see how someone 6' tall can even fit into a car like this.
