More space in the rear...

[bigsi]

Last couple of weeks I have been looking at porsche replacements..M5, RS4, CLS, they just seem somehow....less special. I would love to keep a porsche cabriolet, however our second child is on the way, I am 6'6", and no one can sit behind me. I can have the seat forward a bit for short journeys but still limited leg room behind me. I know the C2 cab I have has less space in the back then a coupe..the question is how much..and is there a difference between a 996 and 997? Also is there a difference between a C2 and C4?

I haven't had a chance to look does anyone know?

Alternatively any other 2+2's or 4 seaters to consider?

We do have another family car, but the problem is we rarely use the porsche and with 2 kids I suspect the rarely will become never! And who wants to spend their life driving a Toyota Verso (practical as they are!!)

help please!

C2 has a lot more storage space in the front than the C4.

Condoms and Panameras aside, (and if waiting for a Panamera I could always consider the new Mazzer), does anyone know the answer to the space question?

I seem to remember reading a post on here about removing the rear seats and mounting child seats directly. Gave extra inches of legroom. Might be worth searching for (search for child seats then start reading the results)...

There was a picture of someone who did that in a 997.

Thanks guys, I have already done that, and it does give a little extra...

I will have to drop in to a dealer and look at the differences
