Rapide S - usable daily with 2 small kids?
Discussion
Hoping for some knowledge from current owners if possible. Contemplating changing my 1 year old Giulia Veloce for a 2015/16 Rapide S as my daily. I have a 987.2 Cayman S Manual as a fun car, and don't really want to change it as anything in a similar mould but significantly better will be more than twice the price, but not twice as much fun. The Giulia is a lovely car, but life is short and V12s won't be around for ever... do any of you use your Rapides as dailies? I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old, so figure it should work. Not too worried about fuel costs as I don't do much mileage. Anything I should think about here? All views welcome, thanks in advance.

I too hope it’s usable as a daily with kid(s). But I’ve done things slightly different, I put a deposit on the first one I saw and sort of crossed my fingers it would work out. Glad I found this thread ??
Haven’t picked it up yet!
Good luck - would love to hear more once you've got it!Haven’t picked it up yet!

Another pic to prove practicality.
I cut some MDF to fit the boot floor(s) and to protect the tunnel. That's three 75mm posts 2.4 Mts long, a 100mm fence post, two blocks, 6 slabs, 4 bags of ballast and a couple of boxes of screws, room for more and still get 3 people in!
Best part is, I've got a LR discovery at home...
