I see some posts when guys are 6 foot 2 and have trouble. Then I read posts of guys 6 foot 7 fitting.

Thanks for the replies

It's most likely going to depend on whether you are all legs or all torso. I'm 6'-5" and fit in my C5 nicely whereas my brother is 6'-3" and has no head room. He's torso man! I can stretch my legs completely out behind the pedals when I'm on the highway with the cruise control on. Very comfy!

Im 6'2'' and I fit fine. It's the getting in and out of the car that is going to take some practice for me.

I sometimes feel that it would be easier to just roll out of the car onto the ground and then stand up

I'm 6'5" and sat in a 7speed and the pedals and leg room is fine . The adjustable steering wheel helps for the long arms . That what makes it better then the C6 cause that was not standard on them. Hope this answers your concerns.

I am 6'1" and sat in a C7 yesterday. I fit, but barely. It seemed to me that the C7 is a little more cramped than the C6 was/is, but I don't own either so can't say for sure. The C7 was tighter for me than my current 997.2 911, and much tighter than the 991.

Not trying to start a 911 vs C7 war. I actually like the C7 very much and may get one. Just trying to offer some comparisons to different interiors.

Then you didn't have the seat adjusted properly. See my link above... many people are sitting in these cars w/o getting the seat all the way back. You have to incline the seat back to ensure the seat base is all the way down and back first. If the seat back is reclined then the seat base will stop moving once the back hits the panel behind the seat.

I lowered the seat before the seat went all the way back to the panel behind the seat as you described. Tried numerous adjustments, but was a very tight fit for me.

I'm 6'2", wear 32 waist and 32 or 33 inseam. Plenty of leg room and headroom.

6'6" and built the same. I fit as well as I do in my C6. C7 feels like a more tailored fit though which I really like.

I'm 6" 4 '. 36 in inseam.

I guess I'm a bit more leggy than longer torso

6'7", 270lbs, and 37" inseam. Sat in a 7sp 3LT today at Don Hewlett Chevrolet and fit ok. I definitely will be glad to have the auto for the extra footwell room. Headroom was ok with the color matched top.

I put the seat all the way down and back, then reclined the seat back. Sat down with both feet out, butt in. Rotated in. Same thing I did with my 08 Z06. Basically about the same fit.
