Default Spyder Headroom

Any 718 Spyder owners who are over 6 feet tall care to weigh in on headroom with a helmet? I had no problem in my old 2008 Boxster S but wondering if the Spyder has significantly less headroom.

Headroom is the same as a regular Boxster. The Spyder top is no lower, unlike the 991.2 Speedster top. The car should be fine for people up to 6’3 or 6’4. Taller than that might be an issue depending on how their body is shaped.

I am about 6'2 / 6'3 - No issues at all with headroom. Leg room is good as well. Still have one or two clicks on the seat to push it back. I do find that with the top down, i often times need to look over the windshield cross support to see stop lights.
