@Gordon Nichols posted:Damian: There is precious little leg room between the "back seat" (which is more of a suggestion than reality) and the front seat backs. If there are flip-down rear seatbacks (similar ot the original Porsche 356 coupe) then they might need something to strengthen the seat back latches to insure safety of the booster occupants.
And, of course, an engine mounted mid-ships, like a Subaru, is out of the question because it takes up all of the rear seat space.
Lastly, these cars are like riding around in a plastic egg shell and there is precious little impact safety within. No door beams, no reinforced frame inside (unless you get a roll cage installed which precludes use of the back seat area for booster seats), no real protection in side crashes or roll-overs.
So yeah...... If I were you, (and my youngest kid is now 41) with tiny tots to protect, I would find a sporty SUV or even a recent, affordable Porsche 996 which, I know, can fit a couple of boosters back there - My 8 and 10 year old grandsons fit back there just fine.
Hope this helps.
Excellent information and well taken 👍. I was also considering a 996 Turbo with the X50 upgrade so this might just fit my needs. I currently have a supercharged rrs autobiography 510hp and a Lexus GX460 so one can only imagine the urge to feel lower to the ground with a sporty 4 seater.
Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your day.
