Cool

Im 6' 1" and 245lb with wide shoulders, so the back of the seat is a little too narrow for me along with the side bolsters. I get in and out by rotating both legs at the same time. Once I am in there is plenty of room between my knees and the steering wheel. My ride is an 02 S and I love it........

Parts and service are very expensive, so be ready for that. Multiply parts cost 4X to 8X of other cars. I just bought a $17 oil filter element. Expect lots of maintenance. I'm 6' 2" and have no issues fitting. Having said all that, it is the best driving car I have ever driven, and I get plenty of "I love your car" comments.

I am 6' and 292 lbs. I only have a 30" inseam so I have a very tall torso. I have a 1997 Boxster. I have put 6000 miles on it since December. I also have to get in torso first then swing my legs in but once inside to not have much trouble. I did have to remove the padding on the front of the roll bar because it was hitting me in the back of the head. I do have a lot of room with the top up though, much more than my previous daily driver a Miata for the last 6 years. Go try one out it is the only way to know for sure.
