Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading the BMW 530i M Sport to a 997 S. Just wandering what sort of things I should look out for? Also, are the 997's child friendly? Would it accommodate two young children OK? Kids are only 8 and 11 The wife and I aren't very tall either Advice appreciated

POST 2Original post

For me, at least, 911's have been very kid-friendly, as my kids and their friends always liked riding in the two I've had. The 997 actually seems to have just a bit LESS legroom than the older air-cooled cars, and my youngest son is just growing out of the back seat now (he rides up front when he can with the "smart" airbag deactivated - there is a little lamp that goes on when the weight is too low in the passenger seat). I am 5'11'' and he is 4'8'', and with the seat set right for me, he is no longer comfortable in the seat behind me.

POST 3Original post

530i vs a 997? 1)Tons of room vs no room 2) good kid carrier vs not 3) tour ship handling vs Porsche!

POST 4Original post

Who cares if the kid is comfortable. I used to contort just for the pleasure of riding in my folks 911. Kids are young and flexible. Till they are about 15 or so, make em "suffer"

POST 5Original post

The 997S is a solid car and a huge leap over the base model. Your kids will be more giddy than crammed in the back seat.

POST 6Original post

The back seat of any Carrera is not a place that is considered comfortable unless you fit in a baby seat.
