Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

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'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.
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'
I too fit in my P quite comfortably.
But just like in my case with these car-ignorant women, has anyone made a comment about the car size being small for your height, especially ones who are over 6'2"? My parents like P's, the design, the built-quality, and the name brand, but they too have been saying the the car doesn't really go with me cuz of my height. I kinda think so too, and that's the reason I 've been saying in other posts I wanted to get a long-body style, either a Jag XK-R or BMW 6-series to compliment my P. I did once think about trading in my P in, but decided against it cuz driving the P washes away all the stress.
It's been a week since I took out P. After watching that GT3 video from this forum, I had to drive it. There is no substitute. King of the road.
I'm 5'6" if I round up
But I do always hear people saying "I'm way too tall to have one of those!". I try to convince them it's good for people of any height, but no one ever believes me..
???????????? are you nuts, shallow, not of this world...??
Mostly Americans who don't have a clue what this foreign car is all about since it's not a Ford, GM, or Chrysler (oops, sorry forget Chrysler is a foreign car these days!).
By the way, I am 6.3... makes a great fit.
Chill, and let me rephrase. She was new to the States, and she couldn't tell apart a Benz from a VW beetle. She was not exposed to a different variety of cars in her country or was she interested in cars. She was book-smart and was a graduate student. You guys know these types of girls I'm talking about.
But you do make a point about Americans.
I'm 6'6", and I think I fit a little better in the 964 - there's enough room in the 996, but a Crown Victoria it is not....
Yeah, 1999C2Cab, thanks for treating us to the "gun show" every time you post...
I am 6' 4" and also am comfortable like the other posters in this thread.
I can also say that I was able to wear a helmet for autocrossing and had enough headroom for that too - so I don't think you have too much worry with a 911.
