It definitely looks bigger and the kids thought so as well (9 yrs old). But I don't have the actual stats.

How big is your kid now (age, height)?

I have a 5 yo in my cab. He learned "convertible" the first ride. I have yet to teach him "cabriolet".

I have a 13 year old daughter that has plenty of room. She is very small for her age though. A tad over 4 feet tall.

My son named my SL500 "windy car" when he was 2.

Single digit ages seem ok. Have a 7 and 10 year old. 10 year old was getting too tall back there in the 996 TT I sold, so she sat up front with the airbag deactivation bar installed.
A little more room would go a long way... maybe I'll take Arling's advice though and not worry about it
