Porsche for tall people - 04-13-2008, 03:54 PM

Hello, my friends.. This is my first post here (as you can see, I don't even have an avatar)...

Recently, I was wondering whether to buy Porsche 911 Carrera 4S or not... The problem is my height (2 meters) . Unfotunately (or fortunately) I'm not in my country (Serbia) right now and I don't have spare time to visit Porsche's showroom, so I would like you to answer me: Is there enough space for tall people like I am? Thank you

I'm 180cm and comfortably fit inside a 997. 2 meter's shouldn't be a big problem since the 911 is built for European people, which in general tend to be quite tall. But the only way to find out for real, is for you to have a go at it and sit behind the wheel of one yourself.

Well, my dad is 1,97 metres. He has problems with the Boxster, but fits perfectly inside a 911!! So, there shouldn't be any problems for you. And also Walter Röhrl sits very comfortable in it - and he is tall as well!!

You shouldn't have a problem, the 911 has plenty of space, but nobody will be able to sit behind you, especially if you go with a manual-transmission.

Actually, I don't care about people behind me I will buy this car for my satisfaction, not theirs..

So, I guess I will wait for a facelifted version of 911...
And I hope I won't get taller...
