6'4 250lbs - Boxster as a daily driver?

[vincefury]

Thanks for the feeddback guys. I will go test a few out this weekend. I gotta cut down on the Big Macs so I can fit better

Because of my mutant physique I have become a reluctant expert in this subject. And I am the smallest in a family who all have the same issue.
Vince,
Forget the "I am x feet and y pounds " stuff. The ratio of torso to leg length varies and may invalidate some of these assertions for you.
Don't just sit in one at a dealership. Drive it ,drive it a lot !
Here are 3 simple examples that bedevil tall people
1. If you pull up to an overhead traffic signal - can you see the red light without ducking down to look under the header at the top of the windshield ? I can see the green but not the red .
2. At a T junction , when you look right, how much of a blind spot does the rear-view mirror create if you lean forward ?
3. With the top in the UP position - can you easily get in and out ?
There is a helpful website - TallLife that gives some good ideas.

I'm 6'1", 210 pounds, with a 31" inseam, so my height is from the waist up. I mostly fit. I drive an '03 Boxster S and I wish the seat back was a little wider in the shoulders - it wants to hug me a little too much so I can't put my back flat on the seat back. It can be a pain to duck into the car when the top is up, especially on those days when I'm feeling my age. Once I'm in I have a couple of inches of head room

Mine is a daily driver

You are definitely a big guy for the Boxster, but it depends a lot on your proportions and ability to tolerate cramped conditions (age is a factor!)
But you will really want the console delete kit. It's designed for Boxster owners that needed to have additional room for racing. I love it and think the look is unique and kinda retro.
The black rectangle below the dash line is actually mounted on the console delete panel which is approx 6-8" forward of the console surface. Itg's not hanging from the dashboard. My car had this "amp" for lack of a better term that I moved from the original vertical console to the delete kit's panel. Check this link Interior Trim

I'm 6'1" 210 lbs. In my situation, the car is fairly comfortable for short trips. If I drive more than 60 miles or so, my but starts to hurt as well as my back. I like a seat that tips back and it 'ain't' going to happen in a Boxster. I've owned 6 Porsche's (1968 912, 1971 911T, 1975 911S, 2002 996, 1973 911S and my current car a 2001 Boxster S) All of the other cars were absolutely fine on a long trip. In addition, I like to stretch out my legs and that too won't happen in a Boxster. I will say this, of all the Porsche's I've owned, the Boxster provides way more "driving' fun than the other Porsche's I've owned. Namely the handling. It's fantastic !!!
