You're not the only one Ian. In a previous post I mentioned a Swiss owner making the same complaints about the LWBs compared with the Recaro Pole Positions seats in a Boxster he'd owned previously. It seems as though the LWBs will continue to be a divisive issue going forward. As far as I know, the pedal heights aren't adjustable. Jeff
Indeed, as are the following additional items: * 12-o'clock marking on steering wheel in Yellow, code 887 Price £162.00 * Lightweight battery (lithium ion), code 192 Price £1538.00 Must admit I really liked the yellow stripe on the Geneva show cars and I was hoping it would make it into production, but £162 seems a little steep given what it is!

Has Porsche's supplier finally run out of the 918 LWBs? Are we still going to get potential buyers agonising as to whether or not to spec the - even more expensive - buckets? At least the adjustable seat back should address complaints about the non-adjustable LWBs being uncomfortable on longer runs for some drivers. Jeff
mine is locked in with 918 style, it seems no more 918 style , but the gt2 style are fine, so people will just order those I guess. hoping mine will have the 918 style when it arrives, as that seat could be rare on a Gt4 so helps resale ;-) I have a date and a lock in and not been told I cannot have 918 style, but as you know mine was a very early spec on the system, only the CTS has put my build back to 17th OCT. There is NO adjustment on the GT2 bucket btw and it sits higher than the 918 seat, which is why I guess the 918 has height adjust.
How much did CTS slow your build date by in weeks What was your final CTS chosen Why are the GT2 style buckets f.o.c. on the Spyder but a whopping £2226 on the tack focussed car! Have the marketing people gone nuts supplying them for free on the cheaper version[&o]
So, even less adjustability then? And at additional cost too..! It does seem like a total rip-off: a low base price with Porsche profits boosted by a few ridiculously expensive add-ons. Tell me something new. Are you heading back to yellow or has Voodoo blue caught your eye? Orange or green perhaps? Light grey? Can't decide? How about speccing a car where every panel is a different colour - like that VW Polo some years ago? Joking, of course, but I'm sure that you'll be happy with whatever you decide. And bear in mind that you can't see much of the outside of the car when you're inside driving the thing, which is the essential part. Jeff
