Default 992 4-way Seats

I just purchased a 2020 992 base with 4-way seats. Is there any way to get the driver seat to go back further? Is there a bracket of any kind or additional rails that will allow further travel back thanks for anyone’s help

I’m able to slide the drivers seat backwards to the point where the seat back contacts the rear seat. I’m 6’4” and have plenty of legroom with the seat fully back. My assumption is you’ve used the pull handle below the right side of the drivers seat to adjust the forwards/backwards position. To get an extra inch or so of legroom, try raising the seat back angle. Beyond that, I’m not aware of any aftermarket solutions.

Im so stupid. After 2 days of ownership, I finally found the slide back lever. Thank you though. I have plenty of room now

Can I ask a dumb question (“you already have” some may say &#128540

I rammed my seat to the floor and surprise surprise can see clearly ahead of me but cannot see the bonnet/ hood or either of the front wings. I was watching a video a while back and the driver used these to position the car. Could be good in narrow twisty lanes/ single track.

What do you folks do?

Default Dumb question

Well….your question is not dumb at all. Today was my first real drive. Doctor appointment an hour away. So I hate to say that I really don’t have an answer. It took me straining upward in the seat to barely see the top edge of the rear wing. I’m having real trouble with the front end location when parking. I relied on the beeping noise to keep me safe so far. I guess we’ll figure it out. I will also update you when I figure something out. Keep in touch

How are the 4 way seats generally? Are they essentially the 18 way seat without all the settings?

I have the base 4-way seats and even after two (2) four-hour road trips this weekend, I have zero complaints.

Default 4 ways

No. All they have is a tilting/uplift and reclining position. They are not good…in my opinion.
I want to swap them out but I’m afraid that the cost isn’t worth it. I’m just going to get a better equipped car in the future. I can certainly live with it in the meantime. The car is astonishing
also no memory settings

How tall are you? I'm 6'2" and I have room to spare. When you outstretch your arm and rest it on the top of the steering wheel, your wrist is the point where it should make contact with the wheel, not your finger tips.

you are correct. The comfort of the seat is good but I am spoiled I guess.

I have the 18 way seats and the only reason to get them over the 4 way sport plus seats is for the memory functionality. I also think as much as I love the seat ventilation it makes the seats more firm and less comfortable.

I live in South Carolina and those ventilated seats are outstanding. I have them in my Suburban as well and the Porsche seats are way better

Have the 4 way ventilated leather seats and love them.

I'm 6'4" Plenty of room and more available.

They look great and feel great.
