Porsche has executed a quiet job on the new car’s cabin, maintaining the basic 911 personality but at the same time cleaning up many of the ergonomic hot spots. The pedals are now proper non-floor-hinged items and are all the better for it. And, despite the more steeply raked windscreen, the view forward is (almost) as clean and as panoramic as ever. The basic driving position is beyond serious criticism with a wheel and seats that adjust in multiple planes, as well as near-perfect placement of the controls, and switches. Trouble is, though the rear passenger compartment is bigger according to the tape measure, on no account is it a place in which a normal size adult will feel comfortable. Head, leg and hip room are still very tight, even by 2+2 standards, so inevitably you end up using the rear seats as a supplementary stowage area to the reasonably well-sized under-bonnet boot. At least Porsche admits as much, otherwise the seat backs wouldn’t still fold flat so that they act as a decent load shelf.
