Re: Convertible backseats
Its about 1-2inch bigger from the 997 if I remember correctly. My 10year old son fits in the back without issue and complaint - well unless I corner too fast

Re: Convertible backseats
rno:Thanks. Not just need to decide if I go with the 2015 c2s cab or order a 2017 c4s coupe.
The Coupe is a bit more comfortable for the kids (backseats) because the backseats on the cab are slightly inclined forward (vs. the Coupe).
However, I had my wife(!) sitting in the back of my 991.1 C4 GTS Cab for 60 km and more and while it wasn't perfectly comfortable, she didn't complain.
Kids under 10 years of age should feel OK in the rear, older kids not so much (my 15 year old daughter refuses to driven the back of my GTS Cab).

Re: Convertible backseats
I'm leaning towards the 991.1 cab. I like the cab and the NA engine better. The 991.2 is definitely faster but doesn't sound as good to me and I'll never drive it to its limit on the roads around here.
Has anyone installed an aftermarket backup camera. That's the only thing it doesn't have that I wanted.

Have you tried to ask for a retrofit of the OEM backup camera? Not sure it is possible though.

Re: Convertible backseats
Does anyone know the interior width in the backseats in the cab. Trying to see how much smaller it is and whether my golf clubs will fit ok (and also when a car seat is installed). I assume I'll need to take my driver and 3 wood out but they fit fine in my 997 coupe.
Re: Convertible backseats
rno:By the way, everything fits great in the car. Thanks for all the info.
You're welcome 
...sorry that the camera cannot be retrofitted, they wanted to offer a retrofit kit but apparently this has something to do with the wiring harness, so...
