Default Cayman fit?

I am seriously considering a 718 Cayman for purchase and have driven one briefly which does not always yield a full panorama view of what actual ownership and regular use will be in reality.
Here is my question and hopefully someone here is of my physical proportions. I'm a hair under 6' 3" and 235 lbs with upper body bias from years of sensible resistance training. Corvettes and 911s are fine but wondering how a 718 Cayman would work but not looking at it as anything close to a daily driver.
Any input appreciated.

I'm 6' 255, I fit fine. My teenager is 6'3' 200 pounds fits fine.

If you fit in a new corvette, you'll fit fine in the Cayman. I went for a ride in a friends Corvette. The boxster/cayman has more room, much more room.

I'm effectively the same height/weight as you are. You'll be fine. I've never felt cramped in mine.

I am 6'3" and a more narrow 190. As the others have said, you will fit. BUT if you can you might try and sit in the same type of seat that you will have in your car. If you have broad shoulders there is a chance the seats could be a touch narrow for your comfort. Good luck with the purchase!

I would go test out the seats because I am 6'1 and have a broad back and shoulders from years of lifting and I don't like the 18 way seats, the bolsters are tight as hell.

I’m 6’ 2” and 210 pounds. Broad shoulders. I fit fine. But test out the seats. The sports seats 18 ways were way more comfy than the 14 ways for me. The extra adjustments helped a ton cause l don’t sit exactly straight in the seat when I drive. See which ones works the best for you.
