I used to think parents were insane for buying cars like these and trying to fit their kids into it…..I now have a 911.2 and I’m watching this video to figure out how to fit my 1 year old daughter into it 😂

[@dadcars]

Lol 😂 glad you found the channel 😊

[@adamrichardson6918]

Same!

[@pecks33331]

Me too. I have a 997.2 and a 2 year old. Want to take her with me.

[@filipstrapinadotcz]

Im searching for a fun car I can drive to the office and also take whole family for a small trip =D This car looks like a win

[@bilalsabra8127]

I have 2 kids (2 and 6 years). I’m looking for a 911 for this is my only concern. It looks tiny so I’m not sure. My second option is M5 but I really don’t like big cars so don’t know honestly

[@jasonheron8531]

As a dad, who likes cars, this channel appeals to me. Thanks for the video.

[@dadcars]

Awesome thanks Jason! Welcome :)

[@hamza89868]

Them kids are living life. Riding around in Porsche & having snacks cool.

[@dadcars]

🥰

[@hieuluu2]

As a dad, I totally agreed with you that the 911 is a "dad's car". I also checked my "dad's bank account" and it said I got bills for the kids swimming lessons, karate classes, soccer, dentist, daycare, and they also eat a lot. Having said all of this, I was able to convinced my wife that we should buy a 991 Turbo S, my reasoning was that, as the kids get older, it doesn't get cheaper, it gets way more expensive (my oldest is 30, my other 2 is 7 and 10). If we do it now, we still can afford the payments, but 10 years from now, it will be a different story financial with teenagers. We test drove a 991.1 and 991.2 Turbo S last week, kids fit in the back comfortably, and they were more excited in the back then being in our Honda Odyssey.

[@yaboiyosef7640]

Wow you are the first person I’ve heard who agrees with me on the rear lights vs the 992. Far more character

[@dadcars]

🙌🫡

[@udhisilva738]

Hey I love this challenge. Santa came early and I treated myself to a 991.2 carrera 4s convertible. I have 3 kids and was about to drop you a line to review mine but you beat me to it! If you fancy having a convertible on your channel that would be fab! Keep up the amazing work

[@dadcars]

Oh how wonderful! Having the roof fold down just makes it all the more exciting for the little ones I bet! Drop me a message on Instagram DadCars88. Perhaps in the summer we could work something out :)

[@chuggies]

Are the 991 convertibles smaller in the back or the same as the coupes and targas?

[@user-tf7jf2lo9w]

I am so excited about your channel growing! It's exactly the conversations I am having with my gf right now. So thank you for the awesome idea and making it a reality.

[@dadcars]

Thank you for the support 👏 I really appreciate comments like this 🤗

[@kevinmcg6747]

Loving the enthusiasm and real world testing. Although with a 23yo son the topic is not immediately relevant it is of interest to a future granDAD. Looking forward to future vlogs. Cheers, Kevin.

[@dadcars]

Thanks Kevin, I always sit back there myself first so you’ll be able to see if your son will fit as well 😅

[@simont531]

Thank you so much for doing this detailed review so many others just say there is isofix and move on or show you ridiculous clips of them trying to fit adults in the back which isn’t really what the seats are for. This video is really useful! What is the name/brand of the fold up isofix booster seat you have behind the drivers seat?

[@dadcars]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊 this is why I started the channel. I always put links to the childseats in the video description 🤙 hope you enjoy the channel

[@traynaj]

The 991 Carerra T with rear seats could be the perfect dad car bringing all the best bits of the 991 with a bit of CSR driving feel. If only they weren’t so expensive.

[@dadcars]

Purchase price is a huge factor in the equation of which 911 best suits you and the prices are always moving slightly 🙈

[@911TargaGTS]

Great channel mate watched 50+ videos on YT and you are bang on with your statement on what’s the best 911 👊 I had a 997 C4S and been with Aston for 10 years where I topped out with a new GT8. Now given the big C the boot 🥾 getting back in a 911 and split at the moment on a targa, sun roof or full cabriolet? Need a 2+2 for my 4 legged Staffie 😎 thanks for making a video for a fellow human being 😂

[@dadcars]

Awesome man congrats 💪 and thanks for the kind words ☺️

[@GTTHREE4.0]

top marks sir for stuffing all your cute girls into a 911, they'll remember this for years to come :-)

[@TopDonBarrow]

Im about to have 3 girls myself and ive been thinking about what i could get that would allow three car seats i the back and still be sporty, but then i remembered porsche 911 having front car seat options, and now im here lol. Great video.

[@anasqadan911]

I definetly agree with you , 991.2 is the best looking 911 that was ever been made !!!

[@faceoff101]

It is very good car but since i am 40 i am done fast cars i am more of sound guy now and omg your v12 sound amazing!

[@dadcars]

Yeah I do love my NA V12 🥰

[@omgitsmejeff]

What an amazing video. My wife recently gave birth to our first child but I still don’t want to give us my dream of owning a 911. I am trying to find every way to convince myself that it is still somewhat a practical car, and this video was just the perfect push for me to continue my pursuit for one 😂😂 planning to make that purchase for a 992.1 Carrera S, soon!

[@dadcars]

Amazing! Do it 🙌 if you need help convincing your wife I made a video “how to convince the Mrs” you should check out 😎 congrats on becoming a Dad!

[@Rainwithsun]

waww

[@omgitsmejeff]

@@Rainwithsun quick update after a year of ownership. I absolutely love the car, but it is definitely not a family car 😂 have never bothered trying to fit the baby seat to the back as it is just too much work!

[@jamsxr]

Cool video. I ended up going for an FL5 Type R to accommodate the family. Not as sexy but just as fun. Still got my eye on a 991 at some point.

[@Chris-nj1mr]

How does it fair as a family mobile?

[@jamsxr]

@@Chris-nj1mr sold it 🤣 with a young family I don’t have much/any time for ‘fun’ driving so a manual just became a bit of a pain, but ultimately, I found the build quality and reliability rubbish. Now driving an RS4.

[@Chris-nj1mr]

@jamsxr interesting! After a lifetime in performance cars I now have a baby on the way and I'm looking into all options. Will sadly have to sell my Cayman for something more practical. I'm leaning the same way as your thought process! Thinking m340i (maybe touring), C43, RS4 will probably hit the mark

[@jamsxr]

@@Chris-nj1mr first world problems for us 🤣 having owned a C63 and 340i estates, there is no right answer, every car has its merits and drawbacks. The m340i is arguably the best all rounder but has the least personality.

[@deenoc3622]

Subscribed, mainly because of the testing of whether child seats can fit. A GTR R35 review and whether child seat can fit in the back as a dad car would be appreciated. As would the new M2 (when its released).

[@dadcars]

Very much hope to get a GTR on eventually! Just need a kind owner to reach out :)

[@akaDAD]

Started shopping around for a new Dad toy. Currently have an RX7 with no back seats. My daughters are showing more interest in going in the “racecar” with me. I think I’ve narrowed my options down to a 911 so this helps. Thank you

[@dadcars]

RX7 😍🙌 I made a video with a Supra recently, surprisingly small rear seats..

[@akaDAD]

@@dadcars RX7 is a turbo V8 swap. Very loud, no AC, no power steering

[@dadcars]

@@akaDAD sounds incredible! 😳 such a cool looking car too

[@ibhrahimbk]

Great review by the real stars (the little girls) and you were great also 😂 Interesting the number plate is "BRZ" considering the BRZ/GR86 are dubbed the "poundland 911 GT3" !!

[@dadcars]

We’ve since reviewed a GR86 😙👌

[@ibhrahimbk]

@dadcars I have seen that video. It was also very good. But do you think the 911 and GR86 are really that closely matched?? P.s You definitely provide a new and fresh angle as a father who loves cars. Keep up the great work! Can you do a GR86 vs 911 back to back review? I can only afford a GR86 😞

[@BUMHEAD1100]

Only just realised that I’m not subscribed to dadcars - what a Wally !

[@stefanharris3299]

Can you do a 991 Turbo S? Trying to persuade our pal with a baby and toddler to swap his M6 for one

[@myou6675]

Tempted by one of these but the Giulia QV is going to be hard to replace in terms of a daily practical 5 seat and still fun all rounder

[@dadcars]

I’m hoping to feature a Giulia in the new year, if they drive as well as they look I’m sure I’ll love it 😍

[@DiscoticUK]

@@dadcars do you think it would do the job with rear facing seats for an infant? Plus all the obvious clobber in the boot for days out?

[@myou6675]

@@DiscoticUK it’s not massively spacious in the back seat and probably a tight fit for 3 child seats of any type. RS5 sportback or RS4 probably better family options but much less fun in my opinion.

[@bilalsabra8127]

I’m between M5 competition and Carrera 4S. Absolutely I love the porsche look but I have 2 kids (2 and 6 years) so don’t know if 911 is the right choice

[@JonWhitworth]

Love these 911s, although still a sucker for the older normally aspirated engines though. Cracking vid as always Ben!

[@dadcars]

Thanks Jonny, yeah be good to see how the early 991 NA is

[@McEiFfElTuRm]

Hey, thanks for your Videos! So what`s your conclusion here? Is there more space for children (or more space in general) in the back of the 991 than in the 997? I am thinking about both. My favourite would be the 997, but the space on the rear seats probably is even more important :-).

[@dadcars]

There is slightly more space in the 991 for sure… I’ve yet to find a ideal fitting seat though but will find one 👌

[@David_Mash]

That's a really interesting license plate

[@morph_combat]

I find myself reaching for auto trader a lot since your channel came along 🙈

[@samdonaldson54]

Smashing it mate! Shittuka word of the episode? 😅

[@dadcars]

Lol 😂 this is a car you’d like isn’t it 😎

[@nautaki]

The rear facing Maxi-Cosi car seat wouldn't fit behind the driver's seat in either an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrofoglio (with bucket seats) or a vanilla Golf 5 GT Sport. These are two mainstream hatchbacks. The matter of the fact is that the rear facing seat has to be behind the passenger's seat so that a) you can move the seat forward as needed b) you can turn around and reach out to the baby if you need to.

[@nautaki]

"goldilocks sweet spot for me" coming from the adorable girl sitting behind, that was gold lol. Great family

[@augustuspatrone6790]

Good channel and good idea. Subscribed

[@dadcars]

Thanks my man ☺️

[@sirz258]

Hello, I’m thinking of going for one of these, would you still recommend one with a 992 carerra a not too far off in price or wouod you say a 991.1 4s which are in the £50 k region.

[@KoryoJK]

Haha I think your passenger thinks your particular 911 is the most boring of them all! I have a 992 S and came from a 718 GT4 because I wanted my kids to ride with me as well. Although the 718 is noticeably more fun, 911 is a great all arounder.

[@joebeeston1995]

Is that portsdown hill? I'm in the market for a 991.2 GTS and rear seats is the reason I've gone 911 route and not Cayman GT4.

[@dadcars]

Yes 😎 great choice!

[@FlavioMarzioCeriotti]

Five seats sport car? Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 😉 Great video and family!

[@dadcars]

I hope to feature one this year 👏😎

[@julianhawkins9423]

Totally agree 991 the best looking one. Don’t like the 992 is too fat and back lights not so good. This car sounds great.

Is the child in front too close to the airbag? This is what I was constantly worried in my Audi S4, but then I removed the headrest and I was able to move the front seat back even more.

[@dadcars]

They would be for sure in a conventional child seat, the ones I use are folding travel ones that have very slim backs. I talk about this very point in my Ferrari F12 review 🫡

[@8359s]

@@dadcars Thank you, I'll watch it.

[@5Minuteman]

Ah SHIUKA! For dad's watching this video, you're supposed to have 2 inches between the car seat and the seat in front of it, so no rear facing. You also don't want your knees that close to the dash or you'll crush your knees in an accident.

[@dadcars]

Good timing on this comment as I’m actually working on a video about this exact topic as I too have heard various “recommendations” with space between child seats and the front seats. In fact I’ve read it’s recommended to be 25cm which will be hard to achieve even in a large SUV. What country are you based in out of interest and what car do you drive with rear facing seats in the back?
