(I know seat heating isn't available with buckets).
flat6 ... Good points well argued I never considered the carbon element not to metion the 2 years warranty the car comes with[&o]ORIGINAL: flat6 I'd hazard a guess that the thinly padded, carbon fibre backed buckets would be butchered if someone tried to squeeze heaters into them. Buy a heated cushion for those cold days []

I bought my car at 1000 miles with a substantial saving on original list but had I not been at Silverstone PEC the year before and asked my instructor the following question I would not have bought my actual example Q: Can you tell the difference between a serious lightweight like the one we were in at that moment and a serious heavyweight like we were in earlier because I can't [&o] A: Absolutely not but if I did a timed lap in each the lightweight may come in 0.01 second faster. In the seat of the pants and absolute feel there is no noticeable difference at all between the pair Armed with that information I was relaxed when 12 months later I decided I could no longer resist getting into the "web club" but for reasons of financial sanity I decided to go for a very low miles example for the first time in my then 10 Porsche's to date CV I bought a used example and made the substantial saving off list which even to my personal spec new which would have run out at circa £54k (My used car ran out at circa £58k new) Had I pesrsonally not driven the 2 extremes and asked the question I would never have bought my actual car and carried on looking for something with far less kit & weight onboard [ORIGINAL: rob.kellock Am worried now. Have you two boys both got heavyweight seats and satnav? [disappointed] []
Ha ha!Yep a full fat Spyder i'm afraid[8D]. I had a list of 'must haves' but had to shorten the list due to scarcity of used cars. Then I ended up with one with a long list!

] Sports seats - I would've really liked buckets, the tighter the seats hold you, the more connected you feel to the car's movements. But, needed to fit a child seat, so became an absolute must to get sports seats[

An interesting phenomenon! This must be the longest thread the Boxster forum has ever seen. Two and a half years since the Spyder was launched and 15 months since they stopped making them! Besides, you shouldn't have time to keep looking on here, you should be out finding a car to join the Web with. For the sake of completeness, mine has as standard: Carrara white Spyder alloys Manual gears Carbon fibre backed bucket seats with additional: Sports exhaust Sports chrono Sound system plus Aux in (iPod socket) Bluetooth mobile phone prep Reverse parking sensors Climate control Coloured wheel centres Cruise control Porsche mats And no cupholders!ORIGINAL: jdpef356 Your all web crazy you lot - Spyder and World Wide - how can so few owners generate so may posts?[][

Plus we have that sexy curvy rear end which didn't come cheap to the development party I am sure [8D]ORIGINAL: rob.kellock It also has a metal roof [][

I've never seen that before. Looks good. Interesting to think that the Carrera GT shape inspired all of this and still is. Will a 981 Spyder (if there is one) take design cues from the Carrera GT or the 918 Spyder[8|] Your car looks flawless, a credit to you[ORIGINAL: jdpef356Now you young Spyders have given us old spyders the Hump![![]()
