Lol.

I'm now thinking to get buckets. I would love PCCB but it's too much money.

Come resale what's is it going to be like with 18 way and not buckets.

Junior GT

Not a huge difference I expect for a car at this price point.

I've currently spec'd the 18 way sports seats but keep thinking I should go back to the LWB's. Does anyone know if you can/should fit a kids booster seat on the LWB's?

Most of the info you will need to make your decision is within this topic I would think.

Go for what you want - the users on here are not fully representative of the "average" buyer, so LWB carries a much higher weight amongst members than it will at the dealership. Making a change and adding in LWB now will more than likely set you back again in the waiting list too.

There is always the option of the P03 folding buckets which don't add a delay however and are £500 cheaper than the LWB! Seem like a damn good compromise at the moment.

However if you need ISOFIX mounting points for the child seat then both P11 LWB and P03 folding buckets are out of the question as neither support this.

Not so much about what I want as to whether the LWB's would be ok with a booster seat. I've no need for isofix so that's not an issue luckily. Delay wouldn't be an issue as getting the car right is more important.

They look wide enough for booster seats.

My two youngest in booster seats and will take one along to Silverstone PEC day a week on Monday to check as interested also as my 7 year old is a car nut he will want to go in it on a regular basis.

Be interested in your feedback. My eldest is 7 too and like your lad he'll want to be in it whenever he can!

If you can live with it get a lhd and save £25k!

There are even a few clubsports available at around this price bracket - I am sorely tempted.

I am not sure but I think you will find there is a one off Eco tax payable. I bought my car in France and the tax plus delivery was apprx 10,000 euro on top of the price.

Catchpole reckons the 991 RS steering is as good as hydraulic. Anyone know what would be involved in upgrading the GT4's to the same?
