It has nothing to do with the seats and everything to do with body shape. I’ve done 600 mile days I’m LWBS and couldn’t do 90 minutes in my 4ways or 18 ways. When I go back to back, the LWBS are more comfortable than 18 ways for me.
Completely agree. I am not built for LWBs. 75 inches tall, 36 inseam, 32 waist, 42 chest, 175 pounds. They don’t fit me.
I’ve “daily driven” all of my Porsches since my first used 911 targa I bought while in college in 1992. It would seem silly to drive anything else when you have a perfectly good Porsche in your driveway.
My former and current Porsche have LWBS and while they are very comfortable, the lack of adjustment and cumbersome ingress and egress should be taken into consideration. Do not allow yourself to be peer pressured into getting a “must have” option. There are no universal “must have” options so spec the car the way you like.
So yes, Porsche even in their most extreme GT forms, is still the one “supercar” you can drive everyday
I’m 6’2”, 180, 34x36, 42L, and they fit me like a glove. It isn’t about height and weight, it’s about body shape.
Seats are something you have to try for yourself. I’m …. rounder … than this and the LWB fit me wonderfully too. I’ve done 7 hours SF to LA straight in them, no problem.
other folks I’d have guessed fit them turn out to just hate them.
The 2020 GT4 is my DD and my only car, technically we have a 2nd vehicle, my wife DD's a 2020 X3M Competition. I WFH so I only have ~1,360 miles in about 10 months, so I drive a lot, LOL!
My ‘20 GT4 is my DD though we do have an X7 my wife drives which also handles family trips w/ our son, dog etc.
How is the GT4 ride when you drive over some not so good roads that are bound to hit you when in Boston? When I drive down from N.H. from time to time in my RS3, it's not terrible though it's less sport orientated than the GT4. So I imagine a bit more forgiving.
Just a little drive to get some lunch with friends, I asked my wife how she felt about the seats on our final leg of the trip home from dinner, she said no problem, nice to get a chance to check them out when we can finally get back to doing road trips...
Spoken like a true co-pilot, both of us commented during the day that we felt the seats were very supportive and comfortable, FWIW I am 5'9" and 180lbs.
