I don't see anyone being disappointed in their acquisition of one of these bad boys.

Yes, the backseats of 991.2 are smaller than even a 997. Your children would probably need to be less than 4 ft tall, so probably 7 yrs old or less is fine, anything over that would be a stretch. You would also need a narrow booster seat. (nieces and nephews) |
Wow, I always thought the 991 seats were larger than the 997. I have to go look again lol. My kids are 3 and 8. My daughter sits fine in the back still. I'd say she still has another year or so. My son sits in a Diono Radian XT seat and it fits perfect. There are photos of guys that fit 3 of them in the back of their F80's maximizing the F80 utilization as a family car. It's an excellent seat.
I have recaros in all of the other cars since their build quality is so good but I'll say the Diono edges them out in all areas, especially form factor and padding. Also, it's the only FAA approved seat, that should say something, although one prays they'll never have to be in that situation.
I hope that helps anyone that is contemplating a 911. It really is a usable daily sports car. It's never let me down on room. Between the "frunk" and rear compartment behind the seats I've been able to do an awful lot. Without the kids, my wife and I have gone on week long road trips with tons of luggage.
That said, the next decision will be a difficult one. 991.2 Turbos and GTS' have my eye and they're still under warranty with almost flat depreciation at this point. Still, there is something to be said about a brand new car.
