991, kids behind the driver who is 6 foot 2???

[stuno1]

I currently drive a lotus Evora s and there are 3 of us and it works very well. We both want another nipper and then the lotus becomes unusable. When I am in and comfy there is no way even a child can fit behind me. My daughter will be 4 ish when th next one arrives and would need to go behind me.

Anyone driving a 991 with kids behind them with the driver being over 6 foot?

I have the same question, and whether there is a real difference in the rear vs, say, a 997? Assume there is as wheelbase longer in 991, also looks like there is visually. But haven't tried squeezing my lad in the back of either yet.....

Its fine for short journeys. Its slightly bigger than 997.

I am 6 foot 2 and have my two boys in the back seat in a 997.2 GTS. The older one (4) sits on a booster behind me while the younger sits in a bigger baby seat.

So the 991 should be no problem at all!

Assume seat back and bottom pas are removed?

I am looking at alternative less bulky seats for my Evora. Currently I have the recaro Young sport but the recaro Milano looks to be 6cm's more shallow.

That's what the front boot is for...

I'm going to include a smiley, just to prove I'm not evil...

Trying to justify your not evil by attempting to add a smiley, just proves your evil in disguise

yes four up in a 991 (Turbo S in my case) is feasible..I am 6'2" and my "tall for age 12yo son" can fit behind...

for how long in comfort is a different q...30 minutes manageable...hour tops...beyond that..and your quality of life will be dissolved..

have run my daughter and son in the rear seats of 911's (996.2/997.2/991.1) since they were old enough to face forward..

is part of why a 911 is a real 2+2.

I just bought a recaro Milano for my Evora and it has given me 5 inches more leg room!!!!! The joy of not needing a group 1 car seat. I could now fit 2 kids in the back of my Evora.

Milano seat behind my chair.


Behind my wife who is 5 foot 7.



Just need to extend the carpet in the rear now. I'll be sticking with my lotus for he forseable future.

I have managed to get 3 x 6ft1 people in mine (me in the drivers and my 2 boys in the passenger side), wouldn't want to for long but fine for a while

I'm 6'2" and I still do the school run from time to time in my 997.2 C2S with an 11 yo (5') and an 8 yo in the back. Front passenger is 14 yo so the seat is slightly forwards to accomodate the older child in the rear. It's beginning to get a bit marginal in the back but no complaints over a trip that can take 30 mins.

The boot can accomodate two large sports kits bags and their rucksacks, we do get some funny looks at the school sometimes when 3 decent sized children and all their kit somehow emanate from a sports car! All in all the 911 is amazingly versatile.

As the 997 has a bit more space it should work just as well for you. Oh - I used to have the Porsche child seat in the rear as well (which reminds me, must put it on ebay).
