    sport seats

    Has anyone ordered sport seats (order no P77) on a 997S? If so how do you find them - specifically any regrets about not having electirc adjustment as with adaptive sports seats? For those with the adaptive type, do you use the adjustable bolsters much?
    Here in Australia, sport seats are no cost option, adaptive cost $4000 more...

    Re: sport seats

    Here in Europe, sport seats are a relatively cheap option (about 300 Euro ) when associated with all leather.
    I'm very satisfied with it : look, comfort and efficiency in corners. (1.80m tall,weight 80 kg)
    Definitely worthy !

    Re: sport seats

    They're very nice. I have them complete with electrics. Perfect for us over 40 guys, where you need a little help for blood circulation in your legs etc (haha no jokes). Worth it? Yes, definitely, if you aren't already $training to buy the car.

    i got the regular sport seats and like them. $ 320.00 option in the US. I'm the only driver and don't think I'd be fussing with all of the adjustments a lot.

    Re: sport seats

    I have the regular Sports Seats and I love 'em. Once you get them dialed in, the standard seats don't even compare and from what others have said about the driver memory buttons being close to your knee during agressive cornering, I'm happy with my choice.

    The sports seats are quite nice... I'm quite tall + big built but they are quite comfortable..

    Re: sport seats

    6'5", 230lb here, and the sport seats in my 997 Cab pose no problems. I do have to remove my wallet when driving as it irritates a nerve in my right leg.....
    and no it's not because it's bulging with cash..
    The new car took care of that!!

    Check this out. I've been using this wallet and most of the time I can keep it in my back pocket without any issues.
