I wonder if seat design has come on so much whether it really matters anymore. The seats in my C2 are just the 6 way “sports” version and I was a little concerned, but I find them supremely comfortable- different car I know but the principle remains.

Mine are just the 4-way Sport Seat Plus and I love ‘em.

Tried the carbon buckets in Iain Litchfield’s T. Very comfortable once in, but not really suited to a daily driver.

TBH I would have only really wanted the memory function because me and Mrs A will share driving occasionally, but it’s not a deal breaker issue.
I didn’t use lumbar support in the Macan because it gives me back ache so current C2 ones seem perfect 😍

I may just go for the RS spider design wheels. The GT wheels would be easier to clean.
I have specced the GT wheels in Satin Platinum. I finally chose Gentian (Pebble interior) but thought the wheels would also work well with Papaya or Carmine.

Jon A I agree. The 8 way seats are the same as the 18 way in shape etc. just not as many adjustments. Which to be honest will suit the wife, because she can never make her mind up anyway. I do need the memory function as we both use the car and it does make life easier. I'm hopefully going into Porsche Leeds Wednesday afternoon to finalise the spec. I'm leaning more towards Carmine Red. Need to see it in the flesh. Wife calls me a "Porsche bore" because i know my way round the configurator so well.

Current provisional spec. PR74U6U1

I went for the 14 way because I wanted what in my opinion are the more comfortable seats and to have memory functions on both driver and passenger side. They could have been 8 way and that wouldn’t have made any difference to me ;)

Congrats, quite a sensible spec at a 'sensible' price even after all the rises. Looks well thought out. That interior will look stunning!

Thanks. SE. said that when they get pebble or beige interior in second hand, they are gone straight away.

I like the lighter coloured interiors. should look good against the black.

Spec looks OK

Interior in pebble & black will look stunning.

Door lights, waste of cash

One other thing to consider if your Mrs or you has cold hands, heated steering wheel, I love mine.
