Sports seats
For someone 6'2" and an athletic 200lbs, are the sports seats comfortable? A car that I am thinking of looking at has the sports seats, and I worry that it may be too confining.
thanks,
thanks,

The comfort issue with sport seat comes from the side bolsters. The bolsters are supposed to help keep the driver in place (from sliding around sideways within the seat). If ones body width at the hips and back areas is too much the bolsters will be uncomfortable.
When Porsche dealers order their cars for the dealership lot, they usually don't select sport seats because they want to appeal to all buyers. The salesman doesn't want to lose a client because he/she doesn't fit in the sport seat. Maybe that is why the standard Porsche seat is called a "comfort seat".
I recommend that you find a 993 (any model) with sport seats in your area and try the seats yourself.
