    I love the F12 and have sat in several over the years, maybe its just me but i find the leg room a bit short, i'm 5'11" and i feel i need a couple more inches, never sat in a 812, i know its a bit longer, not sure if leg roon is better,,

    I'm 6'3" and own and comfortably drive a 355 and 458- so legroom in F12 and certainly 812 is phenomenal- And most of my height is in my legs-

    pretty sure the F12 and 812 have identical cabin space.

    I’m 5’11” and fit in my old F12 with plenty of legroom and space. Are you asking about F12 legroom or 812?

    F12 has loads, 812 a bit less, and 812 GTS even smaller.

    At 5' 11" you won't be able to put the seat all the way back unless your torso is 1' in length. I am 5' 10" and there is plenty of room. My 6' 4" buddy fits in just fine as well.

    Thanks for the feedback, i'll have to give it another try, ironic that i sat in a 488 a week ago and thought the leg room was better than F12, go figure,,

    I’m 6’6” 265lbs and I fit perfectly fine in my 812 and my Pista (along with an F12 that I owned previously). The 812 is cavernous compared to most cars in the segment.

    I am 6'2" and have no issues in my F12. The seating position is a bit higher and more comfortable than my 458 for longer drives.

    I have no problem fitting in an F-12. I am 5'11'' tall , having trouble understanding how you don't fit.

    I'm not saying i don't fit, in many cars it feels like i need just a couple more inches, been driving my Bentley GT too long i guess,,

    Maybe the seat is tilted back too far. If you set it more upright then you can move the seat back further. Also, elevate the forward part of the seat bottom to elevate your knees. Too often seats are set too flat.

    yes i pushed it back till the seat back hit the shelf and started moving upright, i guess it just comes down to my personal preferences, will have another go in a week or so,,

    This ^^^ Also- I know it seems silly but adjust the steering column (tilt/tele) as well- Your arm position can impact the "feel" of your legroom. If you are reaching for the steering wheel your legs will feel cramped- if the steering wheel is closer your legs will feel like there is more room.

    Doesn't feel like you're Bentley. Hmm. The last time I checked, there wasn't an industry standard for 'seating position'. I understand this is mostly because the cars are different shapes. Sorry for the sarcasm, but you might have to adapt your seating preferences for different cars and at the end of the day, if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it :)

    on another subject, i am looking at a 2012 FF, no problem with leg room, after reading some earlier threads from 2011-12, it seems many members had negative almost ugly comments about them, just wondering if anything has changed over the years,,

    My brother is 6'3" and fit well in the F12. But if you have really big feet it might be tight with the tips of your toes as with any sports car.

    I'm 6'2" 250 pounds and fit my F 12 just fine. Maybe look for the carbon sport seats, I didn't fit well in the standard seats.

    Yes it has. The FF has aged gracefully and those who found it ugly at the start have softened their views. Case in point, a friend of mine hated the FF at launch but ended up buying a Lusso once the shape had grown on him.

    I don’t think anyone has gone the other way, liking it at launch but disliking it now. So overall, acceptance of the FF/Lusso has increased over time.

    Eh? At 6’2” no problem. My only problem was when I pinned the throttle. Things start happening in a hurry.
