Yup basic spec but current COTY so riding high.
While the LWB look stunning they just aren't practical. I was going to go for them but having had a RS4 and R8 both with buckets i have decided not to. For one you cant fit child seats, which for me is no good. In addition to that anybody who is not a contortionist will have difficulty getting in and out on a regular basis!Overall i do not think the seats will make that much difference to the resale value.

I find them easier than the 997 Gt3 CS I had (loved those seats). Try getting out of a Exige S2 as a daily !Overall i do not think the seats will make that much difference to the resale value.

I think it will - Non-Clubsport variations of GT cars are always harder to shift and attract a lower premium. Certainly this is the case with GT3s and I expect the GT4 market to largely mirror the GT3 situation.
But it’s your car and you can and should have it however you want it. It’s been said many times before; you don’t spec your own car for the next owner (or you shouldn’t)…

is a 2 seater GT car ever practical ?Overall i do not think the seats will make that much difference to the resale value.
seats will make a massive difference in resale hence 5 have sold very fast with buckets and 2 are for sale with chairs unsold !!! one for ages.

There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that cars with the full buckets will be more in demand. The folding buckets are a bit of an odd one, a little in no-mans land, because you could only specify CS with the full buckets - why I'm not sure?
From recollection the folding buckets are not compliant with the CS pack due to the harnesses. TheDeadPrussian said:

Historically CS cars used to be circa 20% or less of the delivered cars and hence the frenzy for them. However, I sence that since most buyers have half an eye on the potential future value, majority of delivered cars may be CS....and that's why Porsche have run out of the seats!Certainly this is the case with GT3s and I expect the GT4 market to largely mirror the GT3 situation.

...given that it is possible that there isn't as much CS frenzy as on historic models...but who knows..
