No problem. So long as you take the seat cushion out.

Yes you'll be fine. If you have an extra long torso just pop the top and there's max headroom.

I'm 6' 2" 300 and my son is 6' 4" 215, I fit find for a fat man however my son has 34-36 inseam and his legs will hit the wheel if the seat is not all the way back. however he loves the car and drives it all the time.

A 914 is like a Tardis.

I should have given that some more thought. I have an aftermarket steering wheel on a quick-release with a 3" spacer, so it puts a smaller wheel more toward my chest and THAT fits fine. That probably won't be the same for you, so maybe not a good example.

I am 6'4" 220. 34" in seam. I fit ok. Have driven many miles in a stock 914. Seat cushion comes out on track days to fit helmet

My son is 6'4" 300# ex NFL line man. He fits seems to fit with my smaller wheel but has not driven extensively.

More room than you might think.

Once you’re in you should be ok. But the getting in and getting out especially with the roof on can be challenging…

Thanks fellas. My inseam is 31-2 or so.
I think ill get one. welcome.png

I'm 6'4" 210lb w/34" inseam. I've been wondering the same question for a while, glad to hear that others with similar stature can fit though it may not be ideal.

Eventually I'll get a 914, but with the prices rising so quickly I'm not so sure.

Wow all these 6'4" people with a 34" inseam...I'm only 6' with the same.

Legs fit fine, I'm sure your torso would fit too (height-wise) and should be just fine with a stock seat.
