Did you adjust the seat? or did you sit in a 987?
I'm 5'11" and had plenty of headroom in both the 981 and 781 ...
the 987 Cayman was not so great, but the 981 and 718 have lots of headroom and plenty of people over 6'2" who own them with no issues.
I was just giving my experience with both the 981 and 718....I never considered the Cayman until the 981...the 987 just never did it for me visually |
It's the long torso that's the problem-- 37.5" is a problem.
Many years ago when I was on Active Duty in Delaware (ugh), I drove about three hours to VA to the nearest BMW dealer to check out a new e36 M3.
At the time, they only came with sunroofs. I was concerned about the seating height but the sales guy said that he'd "never had a guy that didn't fit in the car".
I sat in it (without helmet). He took one look and said "I can't sell you this car-- you'll be miserable".
So, it's been a thing.
Besides-- buying another "fun" car before the Minister gets hers would a) be financially interesting and b) she'd flat-out murder me before I got from the garage to the house.
And, she'd be completely justified in her actions!
