I wouldn't have the heart to stick any adult person in the 'jump seat'. That would be cruel and unusual punishment. I guess in a pinch (no pun intended) you could move the passenger seat all the way forward and shove someone in the passenger side jump seat.

Post pictures when you cram the poor soul in. I'd love to see it.

So there's the answer. After a few martini's that little 'cubby hole' fits pretty good. Of course I noticed you had your top down so thats not a good test. Top must be up or use a coupe.

You might recall a years back they used to have contests regarding how many people could fit in a VW Beatle. Let's start a new one with the 997.

My daughter is 5'3 or so and she loves it back there - thinks the tranny tunnel is pretty neat - like she's in a space ship or something.

Kind of insulting to all those that use the back seat when needed, don't you think?

It's not a dog seat, it's a proper seat with a 3-point belt and fine for smaller people (especially our kids).

My girlfriend was in the back last night and she swears shes 5'2". I'm starting to think she's really in the 4' range because she fit comfortably.

thanks guys. Well the plan is not to use them. Just needed to know if needed for short trips what is the max could fit in there. That's all. I got the answer.

thanks!

I don't allow anyone to use mine unless it's me and I'm cleaning the windows.

I am 5'8" and have sit in the back a couple of times .. its not that bad. You would need to sit at angle because of the low roofline.. Anything underneath 5'6" would probably fit fine.
