Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a friend who is just about 6' 9". He and I drove about 150 miles of mountain roads today, with him folded into the passenger seat of my coupe. He wasn't comfortable. Is there an easy way to adjust the seats back and/or down? I know on some other cars he has been able to move the rails or move the seat on the rails to gain some space. Another 2 inches would probably make a tremendous difference for him.

POST 2Original post

Yikes, at 6'6" I'm thinking I'm about as big a you can get in that space. Short of removing the drivers seat and sitting on the back seat, I'm not sure what else you can do.

POST 3Original post

You could find a way to bolt the seat directly to the floor. I did that with my Lotus Esprit (don't take him anywhere near one of those). On my Viper, I bought a new seat rail that lowered it 1" while still allowing adjustability. And no, you won't notice any different in comfort when the seat is directly bolted to the floor. Trust me, you will get a lot of people theorizing that it will make it harsher.

POST 4Original post

I've to agree, I'm also 6'6'' and fit OK in the car. BTW one reason why I initially didn't get a boxster. Second reason are my 2 toddlers; however, the one that sits behind me can usually kiss my backrest without moving the head. I think that 1 piece sport seats (like GT3 ones) let you gain some space as they seam to have a thinner seat cushion.

POST 5Original post

GT3 seats make a significant difference to legroom and headroom. For yet more headroom you can remove the butt-cushion and replace with a mousemat. Even more room is gained with a pair of BK lowering mounts, which give me (6'4") plenty of room for a helmet. The GT3+BK combination is so comfortable that I've left it in for my 70-mile daily commute. My gf OTOH prefers the regular power seat with buttwarmer, so I've got asymmetric seats
