Looks great, especially being a manual.

One of the best combos I've seen. Love that blue. What made you decide on the MT as world is switching over now? Porsche is the last bastion for us MT types...for the time being.

Thanks everyone.

Docfink - I chose manual because although I know it will not be as fast as the PDK, I don't plan on tracking it, it is not a DD, my last two cars were MT, and most importantly I like driving a MT.

Any suggestions for a baby/toddler seat? (coming on 2 years old, and approaching 30 pounds).

Absolutely stunning pcar. Very nicely done.

My daughter is 6 so booster put the seatbelt in proper position, but because the seats don't have a head rest her head extends a little over half way above the seatback, which is just above the recommended position. My son is 4 1/2 and I have been searching for a booster/combo for him, but have not found a recommendation for the 991 yet. I tried his Britax Marathon but it is too tall. It hits the back pillar. If you find one let me know. For now I am using a booster for him. He actually fits the booster pretty well. Seat belt aligns probably was well as the seatback fits his head better. It is just that, recommendation for car seat/boosters is that they stay in a harness as long as possible.

Wonderful color combination - love the interior! Will be curious to hear your impressions on the 7 speed manual.
