Default Just me? Long legs...

So I'm 6'3" with long legs. With my seat the ideal position, my knees rest against the center console, above the leather pad, so that the sharp(ish) left upper edge of the center console becomes uncomfortable for my knee to rest against after a while. I can adjust my leg to alleviate, but it would be nice if the pad was higher, or something.

The 2017 (991.2) didn't have this separate protrusion; it was just smooth all the way up the side of the console, so this issue didn't exist.

I’m 6’3” also and no problem with 18 ways and seat low as possible. Best seating position I’ve had in all my Porsches.

Lowering the seat as low as it goes should help..

6' 3" with long legs as well, no issue. I have the seat reasonably low but not bottomed out.

My seat is already as low as it goes. Everything would be fine if they didn't put the embellishment on the top "layer" of the console. It's hard to know it's even there without actually having this issue. I may buy a knee cushion from amazon to address. Lots of options, that should be relatively invisible.

The attached photo shows the problem area. You can see the knee pad they have provided, which would be fine, if the bit above it didn't protrude to the same lateral extent. In the photo it appears as if the leather pad protrudes further out; it doesn't.

My seat is all the way down and my knee hits that same spot. It is something I noticed in the first minute of my test drive. It is annoying and sometimes painful but I bought the car anyway 🤷🏼‍♂️

6'2" here, my knees hit the spot but not really pushing against it hard enough to be a problem. I have my seat lowered all the way as others do. Really, the only vehicle I don''t have seating issues with is my F250. My 992 interior uncomfort is from the seatbelt hitting my neck since the place it comes out of the pillar cannot be vertically adjusted.
