I am considering purchasing a Porsche Cayman, but did not find the standard seats comfortable at all. The driver's seat didn't go back far enough, and my legs seemed a little cramped (I am just under 6 foot). Are the sport or adaptive sport seats any better for thigh support? Or is this just the nature of the car?

I have had no complaints in the Cayman/Cayman S seats I've been in while driving (and at 6'4" didn't feel cramped either). Though it may also just be differences in build or what you are used to, but maybe also worth checking with an owner or two to see if there are any adjustment secrets?
As for the Sports Seats, they do offer a little better side support, but not really what I would like (and currently, Porsche is not offering an option for the 996 style shells from the GT3). There would be a number of usable aftermarket options though.

I almost bought a Cayman a few months ago. I originally was looking for a 911, but the salesman had me jump in a Cayman. The Cayman is a blast to drive, but I didn't like the seats (they were ok). The legroom was fine (I'm 5'10"), but the seat bottom was a bit tight - I do a lot of bike riding and my legs are very heavy.
Comparing the Cayman (I drove the S) and the 911, here is what I think. The 911 can be driven in town at reasonable speeds. The Cayman S doesn't feel good driving in town. I found myself over 60 MPH in 35 MPH zones.
I bought the 911 and I love it. We currently own a 2003 Boxster as well and both cars are great.
Good luck and whatever your choice, enjoy!

In my opinion, you are right. The seats are not comfortable. I drove one for around 12 months before selling it and getting another car. I even tried driving the higher model with adaptive seats but didn't like that either so I bought a cushy Mercedes, not as nice, but seats are better

Are you absolutely certain it's a Cayman you're in? Are clowns and confetti present, like in the circus?
