I am working hard at the man maths to justify replacing my car with an Evora later this year. The kids are 8 and 5. For those who have been running their cars for a while now, how practical are the rear seats for kids? Is it a case of squash them in and try to keep them happy or can they be accommodated comfortably on short trips?

 

I would not be planning any long trips with the kids in the back, we can use the family car for that, maybe a maximum of 45 minutes at a time. But I'd hate to get the car and find the kids outgrow it within a year. Any thoughts/practical experience on the maximum height before comfortable rear seat travel is a no go?

 

I need to get along to Murray Lotus and have a proper look inside one, ideally with the kids. Would appreciate any thoughts or comments from those that have running their car for a while now.

Until I 10/11 people say. I have 6yr old twins and they are a perfect size.

Best bet for you, get in touch with LazyDonkey as he will know a few more of the scots boys with evora.

Are you on Scottish Elises at all? Worth having a chat to Campbell on there, he has/had an Evora with 2 kids and they seemed to get on ok

One of my grandsons will be 10 in 7 weeks time, not short, and he is happy in the back behind the passenger seat moved forward slightly for 2 hour journeys. I would say that 11 would probably be the limit. Only point I would make is that to make the seating position ideal with height of head and seat belt fit he can't use a booster cushion.

Me and Timbo have been in the back of CoCo's 400. They're extremely practical.

Wouldn't know. I've got an Evora +0 so I can be a selfish get and just go for a drive on my own and enjoy it.....  

 

The screams and giggles I make are even louder than any kids in the back would be.....hehehe......

You're right, foxy was whinging in my ear as I drove

[Timbo]

Practical, practical, yep if your a dwarf, ten year old kid or slightly delusional, oh that will be me and foxy then lol

Yep they are fine for kids, you can get adults in the back but it's a squeeze. I did 150 miles with me and 3 other blokes but the 2 in the rear seats complained a bit!
