Seats are OK, I've done several multi day 8+ hour/day trips.

I had to remove the center console to get some room for my right knee to move to the side.

6' 1" 215lbs 34 inch inseam and i believe I'm about as big a person that can comfortably fit in the 986. I wish the seat could move back another inch or so, but it's comfortable enough for a long road trip.

I'm great for spirited driving around town. No problems at all other than the occasional head injury from getting in and out when the top is up.

Long distances - Much pain. I had to pull over in Lawton OK on the way from Chicago to Dallas because I was almost crying from pain. Legs, back, neck. After I got a room, I suddenly became hungry. Decided to go to Whataburger. (Mmmmm...Whataburger. Don't judge. I'm 280-ish for a reason). I walked to the car and could not talk myself into getting into it. Ended up walking. Next day everything was all good.

On the way home, I made several stops to walk around and made the trip back home with minimal discomfort.

Of course I didn't learn my lesson as I will be making this trip again in a couple months. I'll have to check for more sightseeing stuff on the way before I make plans.
