Suggestion
It's a bit of a compromise between set position for leg space and the right position of the wheel.

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.

Hi all this one’s for the Porsche Owners I’m 6ft5 and wondering if I’ll fit comfortably into a 997.1 Turbo without being cramped (long body).I don’t want to travel 200+ miles to find I don’t fit,Thanks all. Drew
You will fit lengthways, if i remember right the 997 generation is particularly helpful for taller folk.
Im a shortarse but broad, if you are wide certain seats may be uncomfortable on your lats.
I'm 6'4" and fitted in my old one without a problem. I'd avoid cars with sunroofs as I think that lowers the head height. Convertible is probably better again :-)

Is there not a normal 997 more local to you at a dealer that you can go and have a sit in? They’re not rare cars.
I Wish the nearest Porsche dealer is 102 miles away, I live in the Cambrian mountains fantastic roads but no dealers for miles

I think there's more headroom, as much as 2 inches, on a non sunroof car?
you'll want a 997 T with buckets as it will sit you a good inch lower than the other seats. Non sunroof will save you an inch above. Clutch travel can be long, so legroom might be more of an issue than in PDK automatics. If its manual with sunroof and normal seats it will be very cramped and claustrophobic for you.
As always the answer is “it depends”. I’m 6’4” and-a-bit and have driven one with no issue at all. But I also fit fine in an S1 Elise so I’m maybe a weird shape.
Not sure though how much of a unicorn a 997 Turbo with buckets and sunroof deleted would be? - might be non existent.....but you could always do a delete with replacing the roof panel and headlining, and buy a set of 997 bucket seats,
6ft and have a 997.1 Turbo with sunroof. When I'm sitting tall and in the mornings, my not-very-long hair just brushes the roof. I do tend to have the seat quite upright. There's still room behind me to move the seat further back.
Have 7.2 GT3s with folding buckets and am as tall as you are. It's perfectly spacious. Only fly in the ointment is that I'd prefer the steering wheel closer to the chest. It's a bit of a compromise between set position for leg space and the right position of the wheel.

Why do you need a Porsche dealer to sit in a 997? There’s at least 7 997’s for sale within an approx 60 mile radius of you on PH classifieds alone.
