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

in the 991 it wasn't drastically different space-wise BUT the seat angle is much more upright making it even less usable. Haven't seen anybody confirm that its the same in the 992 but pretty safe assumption.

Interesting, I would of thought the rear seat angle would of been the similar in the C and Targar
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.

Targa uses same body shell as cabrio. Rear seat width and backrest depth / angle is compromised. There WILL be more room in the coupe. I sold my 991 cab for precisely this reason. I looked at Targa but same setup. 992 no different.

Thank you very much for all this information, I now understand.

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.

Great advice , Carrera he we come !
Thank you

Same exact thing on my 996 as well

So is the space in the rear seat area of the 996 similar to the 992
Which has a higher head room ?

Check the Autogefühl review on the Targa. He shows it really well.

Ant68

Will do
Thank you !

Not sure; I just meant that my Cab has more vertical seats in the rear than the coupe.

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.

I just watched that again thanks to you. I am always thinking that I want a Targa until I see that video.
