I was getting in my black C2 coupe, and this Asian woman in early 40's who works at the same building with whom I have exchanged glances on a few occasions, saw me open my car door, then said "oh, my. such a tall person getting into such a small car." Btw, I'm 6'2. By that comment, I don't think she knew what kind of car it was. I wonder if she would have made the same comment, had she known it was a Porsche. Actually, one of my blind dates did make a comment that I have such a small car for my height. At that time, I know that she didn't even know what Porsches were. She was new to the States, and didn't know Benz from BMW, those types that are well-educated but not street smart. Believe me, there are these types out there.

Anyway, I have to admit that I was not fond of Porsches in the 80's and 90's. I think they were much rarer back then, and when I saw one on the street, I used to point my finger and made comments about its rare-looking design. However funny-looking they were to me then, they made presence. I knew how expensive they were, but being tall, and the car having squatty design, I didn't think I 'd look good in it. But having owned one for 3 years, I don't think I can get rid of it. I am still trying to add long-body cars like XK's and BMW 6-series to my collection, hopefully soon.

I'm curious. How many tall drivers are there? Anyone over 6'2"?

 

I am 6' 3"

 

I'm almost 6'5"

 

6'5" in the morning and 6'4" in the evening.

 

6'7" all day

 

I'm 4'5". Am I too small for the car? I use a telephone book on the seat and wooden blocks on my shoes. What really stinks is that when I drive with 3 or more people in the car, they make me sit in the back seat.

 

I'm 6'4"

 

6' 3" and lots of head room. If you go Jag and get a convertable your head will be on the ceiling...

 

Do our cars have backseats?

I'm 6'2". I fit in the car perfectly. Everyone that ends up in my car can't believe the room in it. I have a buddy with a 350Z and I have WAAAAY more interior room and luggage capacity than he does.

I had a 928 before this, and that car had more leg room than any other car I can ever remember being in.

For a design that has packaging challenges, the 911 engineers sure got it right.

 

6'4" in the morning
6'3" in the evening
I've noticed that it makes a big difference to how much space I have on my commute to and from work.

Incidentally, I just put the regular electric seats back in after a month with GT3s, and I can't believe how squidgy and overstuffed (and high) they are. I may swap the driver's seat back on Saturday.

 

I am 6'7", 230 lbs and the 911 is the best fitting sports car by far for me. My brother is only 6', but as he tells anyone that wants to listen, he is taller on his back! Nice bro'

 

Who says size doesn't matter?

 

6'2" and very comfortable in the car.

 

i'm a giant....look at my avatar...6'6" 240lbs

 

6'4 and fit quite well in the car.
