I'd get the 5 spoke if there was a satin black option with them.

Wouldn't cost much to get them finished in satin black by an alloy wheel specialist.

700 km road trip with T.

4way seats: excellent support, and hard enough for my back. Lwb might be too stiff for long journeys. But would be better for track use.
chassis: Excellent for twisty roads, awesome. The T just takes the curves, no need for breaking.
gears: getting used to the gearbox. Used 7th for higway cruising and it was very comfortable. 6 th was fun for the twisty roads, and more than enough of torgue. Still sometimes difficult to get to the 5th gear from 7th. Also sometimes difficult to get the 7 th gear on. But anyway, 1-6 gears are really good.
tyre noise: on highways could easily chat with my wife, also could listen to radio. Ofcourse still louder than regular cars, but not that bad.
back seat with porsche kinder seat: enough leg space for 4 year old, and he could see the traffic, since the seat is a little bit higher than in normal cars. No problems what so ever.


altogether very usefull car for daily usage, and absolutely awesome for twisty smaller roads. The car just keeps on going on tight curves, brilliant machine.

Mine, Gtsilver, light weight glass, guards red interior, manual, 4way seats.

Great review and glad that you're so happy with your T!

I've now done 2,700 miles in my first 8 weeks and I like it more and more...

Anyone here is buying a T willing to config a LWB but want the Sport seat instead? Let me know! I'll swap and pay for the LWB for you!

Can the seats be swapped over simply and easily? Am thinking about electrics, as well as seat fixings etc.

If you order LWB you won't be able to retrofit the rear seats. There are no anchor points for the rear seats.

Congrats!

At one point I knew all of the reps by name. And as soon as I said Hello, I just needed to check on my T, they would say "Hi Mr. Alex, your car is still at the port awaiting a ship," or "it's on it's way," or "don't you have anything better to do?" Hahaha.

I didn't order the with LWB. I ordered with the Carrera T interior thought wanting to swap out for the LWB so I can retain the rear seat for future use.

You'll find it easier and much less expensive to put a set of Recaro buckets in....

That part I get it. My point is that the other party will end with regular sears on the front and no seats in the back, with no way to add them later either. A possible resale killer.
