Couldn't fit in a Cayman S...

Blackhawk47 · 25 Nov 2012 at 18:14

Never been in a Cayman only saw pictures/video. The interior (for me at least) was very nicely put together and high quality but I found it a bit cramp. I am about 5ft 10" and even with the seat lowered and all the way to the back I would not be able to drive properly. Felt worse than trying to drive the mini.

Actually to be fair I could drive it apart from my legs were literally touching the steering and lifting off the clutch was borderline painful.

Interested in other peoples opinions on them - particularly gibbo.

New 911 is absolutely fantastic in every way and the new boxster was very nice....as well as some of the old classic porsches they had tucked away.

I'm fine in any 911s just i found the legroom a bit lacking. Think the seat was as far back as possible, and yes I am stocky but with longer legs. Head room not much of a issue.

Hi there

I'm taller than you and have zero issues fitting in a Cayman, I had plenty of space.

Lol I don't know then. It wasn't a problem about being fat...my stomach was no where near the steering wheel. Mainly just leg room, just didn't find it comfortable.

Thanks all for hurling casual abuse at me.

You're own fault for starting this completely illogical and impossible thread.

Maybe you have size 29 feet, or just Rickets D) as Housey has alluded to.

Size 10, pretty average I guess?

foot space for pedals was a non issue.

Do you have supetmodel slender legs and a body like a umpa lumpa?

No I have long sausage legs and a beer belly, despite the fact I don't drink much.

Yes, it was just in showroom...obviously no keys in ignition so maybe the wheel goes up/back further with it on?

Are you a powerfully built director?

No.......... :confused:

I don't know tbh, maybe they have a lock on when there are no keys. There wasn't much give when adjusting steering rack. Imo, less room/space then a mk2 TT.

The only time I've seen you in person is when you were literally dressed like a extra from top gun. Aviators et al.
