Left knee hits steering wheel when engaging clutch.

[Timeless]

Hello, I am new to the forum and have been reading a lot of great info.

I am thinking hard of getting a 986 Boxster S and have even test driven one (2000 model).

I love the looks and plan on doing road track events as well as nice weather driving. Bonus is the wife loves them also.

HOWEVER, like the title says I cannot shift without bumping my knee which is quite annoying. I am 6'1" 180 and happen to have longer legs (34 inseam). Made sure seat is the lowest it can go and seat all the way back.

Hard to believe they did not add tilt till 2005 models which is a bit more than I wanted to pay for this toy.

Does anyone have any advice or is this just not the car for me?

Racing seats might lower it another inch and maybe a flat bottomed steering wheel?

Edit: I also made sure the steering wheel was telescoped out as far as it could go also.

Thanks in advance for your help.
