18 way seats for a big guy?

I've been reading around on the forums for the last few days about the looooong debate over the 14 vs 18way seats.
As most of the debates, it is a matter of view.
My question though is if there are actually any "big" people around with the 18 way seats that drive long distances.

Personally I am 6,1 and 230p and Im trading my cayenne with the standard seats for a panamera turbo S 2011 with the 18 seats. Found an INCREDIBLE deal for the Turbo S but the seats could be a deal breaker since I drive a lot.

Thanks again fellas.

I'm 6' 3" 220lb (was 240) and the 18 way seats are fantastic! 11 hour drives feel like you've just been sitting on your living room couch the whole time.

I can't even tell you how much I love those seats.

As for losing weight, it's mostly in the mind. I was working really hard and stopped eating at every opportunity and only ate when I was hungry. And a little more exercise, like going out for long walks once or twice a week. In fact, I was on what I call the deep dish pizza diet. I'd make a 14" Chicago style deep dish pizza (1.5 pounds of cheese, pepperoni, etc.) once a week and cut it into pieces that would give me one for each day of the week. That was my daytime meal and I'd have a regular dinner. Snacks of nuts if I got hungry in between. There was no feeling of dieting. Just don't eat every time you can eat. I'm over twice your age.

Sir, I envy your will. Can't stop snacking , but I guess it's all in the mind.

Thanks a bunch for the guidance for the seats!
I'll let you know how it went once I pick up the car in a week or two!

I had 18-way seats in my PTT, both my 991's (including now), and I had the Sport Seats plus in my 997.2S (big side bolsters). I'm 6'3" 220 lbs and they fit like a glove. They're great!
