How versatile is your 911
Discussion
I routinely put my road bike and wheels in the back of my 911s (SC, 964, 996). There's loads of space back there with the seats down, especially 996 onwards. And thats before you stick on a roofrack..
And of course your kids can sit there too, and these are one of the main reasons are why I have 911's not boxster/caymen. After all the rear engine config was initially proposed in order to maximise interior space, not just to make em fun at roundabouts :-)

Exactly. The car is 'fun' and I like to share the fun with the kids. They were grinning ear to ear at the weekend in the new 'rollercoaster' as they described the boost kicking in 
4!
Not sure i'd call them practical as such. Can't get adults in the back without being seriously uncomfortable as a driver. In the 997 i really struggled to get a couple of golf bags in the back (especially without scratching anything). The 'boot' is also of course small.
Luckily i don't have to test the practicality very often, but i accept once i have kids past toddler age that they are not family cars.

Two 10 year olds in the back of mine - they were very comfy by all accounts Luckily i don't have to test the practicality very often, but i accept once i have kids past toddler age that they are not family cars.
Very versatile I would say.
Wife and I trot off to some lovely places to stay in the UK right next door to some of the best Hillclimb venues in the land complete with all the luggage that one would expect with Wife in tow.
+ Pop up tent, race gear, small box of car essentials, big brolly, 2 folding chairs not to mention the obligatory plastic bag with messy snacks all in Air conditioned comfort listening to R2 !
25 to 27 mpg there and back, rock up at the hillclimb venue Saturday and Sunday, bolt on the timing strut, put on the magnetic numbers and sponsor decals, have a hoon up the hill and commute in comfort!
Can’t think of a better car that does it all so well, although a Labrador and Daughter is decidedly more challenging

Two weeks driving round Spain with the wife and all that goes with it, no problems.
Took a complete woodworkers tool kit when my Landy broke down and fitted some furniture no probs. though I did have to put some of the power tools in the back, I just folded the seats down.
Lady customer seemed a little confused when a 911 turned up to install her kitchen though

Did she panic and double check the quote you gave her

She actually ordered further furniture.
I'm guessing she knew class when she 'saw' it.
