Rear Seats 992 Targa vs Carrera
I would like to know which out of the 2 has more room in the rear seat area between the Targa and the Carrera ?
I'm reading that the roll bar on the Targa reduced the head height above the rear seats.
I have 2 small children and will need as much room as possible
Thanks in advance

So not been a contortionist there maybe be slightly more room in the C for sorting out the kids and attending to there needs then in the Targa, is that correct ?
Thinking of a possible baby seat at a later date also.

The Targa has less headroom for the rear seats and the rollover bar makes it harder to get back there. Combine that with the Cabrio like seating position, it’s the most compromised of the 911 back seats. I would go with the standard Carrera, because young children grow pretty quickly.

But generally speaking, the 911 rear seats are always small and very compromised, so a cab is going to make that area a tad more uncomfortable.
