I'm 5'11" (I've shrunk a good inch due to herniated discs and the ravages of time), 168 lbs and yes, I find it comfortable. The seats are a bit tight in the area of the upper body, but that contributes to them holding you in place in hard cornering. This is not a GT (grand touring) car, it is a sports car and it is obviously not going to be as comfortable on long trips. To accomplish that they would have had to soften up the suspension, install more sound insulation (with more weight!) and install wider seats with adjustable lumbar (and again, with more weight), all of which would have detracted from its primary intended use.

I switched out my 986 seats for some 987, it helped me a lot. I'm small enough 5'7 165 that seat cushion was a little tired and the metal bar at the very bottom of the seat near my tail bone actually bothered me. I think my rear end was just a little skinny for it. The 987 Sport Plus seat is awesome, I couldn't find any but that's what I was looking for a replacement. The 987 seats were like new though so they are working out well.
