I'm not a fan of the standard seats as I don't like the narrow width at the shoulders. As I'm a big guy, it's a deal breaker for me personally. If they're comfortable for you, then don't worry about it. (Or if you're going to negotiate on price, lament that it doesn't have the other seats.)

Go for it.... put a Cobb on it and you evaporate the performance difference... add the DSC module and go hunt GT3s!
you will love the ventilated seats....

Made an offer but couldn't reach a deal. Nice car for sure. Must be still thinking about it because I'm back looking at it. Like I said originally, a very slippery slope I headed down when I first clicked on this one.

FYI, I paid similar price to their asking on this non S for my 2012 Turbo S with only 31K miles on it.
I love this thing!

5'10" and 235. Short legs and long torso result in a lack of headroom in some cars. One of the reasons for buying the turbo is that there is adequate headroom without needing to do any mods. I had a '99 Viper and had the seat's frame cut and re-welded to lower the seat. That car's seats had much larger bolsters, I'm a bit surprised by Porsche's seats in this regard.

The seats in my TTS are listed as '#437 Comfort seats' and they are anything but... I am 6'2" and have wide shoulders- the seats are too narrow and dig into my shoulder blades. That's in sharp contrast to the seats in my SL55 AMG, which are extremely comfortable, even though MB failed to call them 'Komfort'...
I'm 6'2" 260 lbs. and I fit fine in my TTS. Mine are sport adaptive seats though.
