Anyone share the car with the wife and have two way seats?

So currently on the lookout for a 718 boxster for the wife, I will drive it aswell.

It needs to be a 2.5 , been looking at the sport along with the GTS . Most appear to be the manual 2 way adjustable seats.

Will I instantly regret not having the 14 way?

These appear to be like rocking horse s**t in the GTS .

Don't think they were ever an option on the GTS. 2 ways are very comfortable, and offer much more support than 14 ways (which are the basic sport seat). We've done several euro trips of over 2500 miles in ours with no issues.

I guess it’s every time one of us gets in after the other there is manual adjustment ? First world problem I know :-( but how hard would it have been for memory function on the GTS.

Proper first world problem

My wife’s Boxster has the 2 way seats.....I don;t drive it that often but when I do it takes about 5 seconds to adjust it. In my case as far back and as low as possible. We’re still talking to each other!

I'd agree, it will be the same for me. to the bottom and back..... If I want to say in the good books I could put it back to a closer position...

The other good thing with the 14 way electric was you can program the key to your seat position so as soon as you open the door with the key the seat moves to your position.

We had a boxster for years with manual adjustment, and it was annoying because its not just the seats, also the mirrors & the steering wheel - and radio stations, aircon settings etc. Rectified that when we bought a 2.5gts - got 18 ways. Also, because you can tilt the base in the 18 ways, its much better for tall people, as effectively it gives you more legroom. Also MUCH more comfortable seat IMHO. Sorry, it will add to the expense, but I would choose it over almost any other option, as you use it every single time you drive.

Had to live with the social deprivation of 2 way seats in a 981 Boxster for 4 years. It never crossed my mind until now how tough times were. Surprised Corbyn never started a protest march in my honour.

Seriously they are great seats and not a problem if you can contend with 10 seconds of adjustment before driving.

The 2 way seats are good IMO. When I first sat in them I wanted to be able to tilt the seat back (or raise the front of the seat) but after a while I got used to them and don't even think about it now.

The 18 ways are based on the sports plus 2 ways (so same basic seat shape/support), but with full electric adjustment and as well as tilt, have lumber adjustment which 2 ways don't.
