When I said, \u201cReally? I haven\u2019t really paid much attention to that,\u201d he replied,<\/p>\n
Because the seating position in the 992 is low, you can stretch your legs out a bit while driving. I think the seating position is even lower than the 991 GT3.<\/strong> Also, the roof is higher, so it doesn\u2019t feel cramped. He said.<\/p>\n Indeed, when I drive the 981 Boxster, it takes me quite a while to adjust the seat position to feel just right.<\/p>\n When I said, \u201cBut isn\u2019t that because the 981 and 991 GT3 are manuals, so you have to consider how easy it is to press the clutch?\u201d he answered,<\/p>\n No, the clutch isn\u2019t really the issue. Especially with the 981, since it\u2019s a two-seater, the backrest adjustment range is narrow, and when you adjust the seat height, the steering wheel feels too close and cramped. The steering wheel height doesn\u2019t quite match either, and if you adjust the steering wheel, your legs feel too far away. I see\u2026 Well, I have short legs, so I always have to move the seat way forward no matter what I drive\u2026 lol<\/p>\n By the way, the seat structure, seat position, and dashboard height differ slightly between the 991 and 992,<\/strong> and my husband showed me Porsche\u2019s official document comparing the seat positions of the 991 and 992.<\/p>\n It\u2019s from a document called The New 911 Carrera Technology Workshop, which contains various details about the 992. One page had this chart.<\/p>\n Looking at this, compared to the 991, the 992\u2019s roof is 12mm higher and the seating position is 5mm lower.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2026Where on earth did he find a document like this? lol<\/p>\n Later, I had the chance to drive the 992 for the first time this year and consciously paid attention to the seat position. I felt that it really was easier to set the seat position,<\/strong> and I was able to start driving without spending much time adjusting the seat.<\/p>\n Since my 992 isn\u2019t a manual, I think it also helps that I don\u2019t have to worry about fully pressing the clutch<\/strong> or my knees hitting the steering wheel when releasing the clutch.<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m about 160 cm tall, but for taller men around 180 cm or for tall people from Europe or the US, the 992\u2014with its low seat and high roof\u2014might be especially easy to find a comfortable driving position.<\/p>\n When the seat position isn\u2019t forced, you get less tired and can drive safely and quickly, so I realized once again that these are the kinds of improvements Porsche keeps making in their latest models.<\/p>\n Wow, cars really have so many layers to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Driving Position of the Porsche 911 The other day, my husband came home after driving the 911 Cabriolet (992) and started talking about it.

\nYou can drive relaxed yet feel perfectly connected to the car.
\nOn the other hand, when driving on mountain roads, even if you set the seat position to \u201csport mode,\u201d it still feels just right.<\/strong>
\nI think Porsches in general have easy-to-find driving positions, but the 992 has a wider range of adjustments than the 991 and better visibility. By the way, the 981 Boxster has slightly less adjustment range than the 911 models.<\/p>\n![\"Porsche](\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_1117.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nAlso, the slightly higher seating position bothers me.
\nWell, I guess you can adjust it until you\u2019re satisfied, but considering all that, the 992 just fits perfectly right away.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0635.jpg\")
