I'm 6'-1' and I've already cut down my seat cushion so I sit at a more comfortable level and can see out my rear view mirror.
Teenhulk, my 16 year old son is now 6'-3" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Just in the last month he's grown 1/2". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) If he grows much more he'll have to rethink his 914 project, maybe lower the drivers floor in the seating area.

I am 6' 5" (185 lbs) and have been driving 914s since 1978 when I was 23. Now at age 63 (almost) I am comfortable in the car for drives up to 4 or 5 hours before I need a break to stretch. The only thing now is I get in and out of the car a little slower than before!
That said - there is an amazing amount of room once seated. I think width plays as big a part as height and I am a skinny dude. |
