How Do You Guys Fit in this Car?

Yep - the seat was too high. If or when you go back, the seat height gets adjusted by a horizontal button on the left bottom side of the drivers seat. Push is down and the seat will drop right down.
As for the interior size of the Macan, I love it. I come from a .2 gen Spyder so the Macan feels outright roomy! And, believe it or not, it's a driving car so it should feel tight IMO.
To the OP, go back and check it out. It's the perfect twin to your Cayman S.

I'm 6' ft I fit fine. But it ended up being too small for my family of 4. With my front seat pushed back my little girl who's 9 was starting to get squeezed. My son who is 5'9 was starting to have a hard time in the back too. I ended up giving the car to my wife and bought a Range Rover. Love it. Now every time I drive the Macan I feel squished.

So I sat in one today at the dealer and was able to adjust the seat. Was able to get enough headroom in the front, though it still wasn't ample. Bigger issue was that I couldn't get the seat, pedal, steering wheel set up where it was comfortable for me. That and the lack of headroom in the back make it a no go for me, as much as I love the look of the Macan Turbo.
Then I went over and sat in a Panamera S and that thing felt perfect, front and back, for my frame. What an awesome interior, fabulous seats. Too bad it's so damn long and kinda fugly.

Both my Cayman and Carrera give me more headroom than the Macan. I can put a helmet on in both my cars and there's no way I could in the Macan.

Yes, it had the pano roof. In the end the killer for me wouldn't be the front headroom, it would be the overall position and the rear seat headroom. I won't buy a 4 door vehicle that a guy my size can't sit in the back very comfortably. If it were just for me, I might try harder to get the driving position figured out, but it's just too small as our only family type car. Gonna have to find something else to pry the Q7 out of my wife's hands.
I tell you, the car that surprised the hell out of me when I got it as a loaner was the latest Audi Allroad. Even with that little power, that car drove wonderfully, was really comfortable and the visibility out of it was fantastic. For the price, that thing is a deal. I'd swap our Q for that in a millisecond. Though the Panamera would be even better, if it wasn't so damn long.

Slightly off topic, but I'm wondering if someone has the measurement of the trunk dimension (width and depth)? Trying to figure out if our luggages would fit inside the trunk without folding down the rear seats. We recently sold our SUV and we only have a 997.2 left in the household, so I can't really drag my luggages to the dealership to test it out. Appreciate the help!

That's what I figured. I'll need to get the keys next time I'm in, though pretty sure the back seat would be a non-starter for the wife. Pretty much refuses to buy a car that someone my size can't sit in the rear seats comfortably. She was a no go on the Q5 when we looked at those, but for some reason I was holding out hope on this car.
At least our Cayenne and Boxster's are. And the Panamera loaner we have right now.

They were definitely not live on the first one, but the were on the second one. Second one had keyless, but the key was nowhere in sight. No idea why one car's seats worked and the other didn't.
