CaptainSlow 286 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Tested the loading capacity over the weekend. Turned out that the 2+0 is a rather practical car! Quite a few people stared and commented the car outside Bordershop in Puttgarden. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frimley111R 28 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I wished I didn't have seats in the back of mine, that shelf is far more useful Quote Link to post Share on other sites

softlips 19 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 The base is stuck in with velcro, comes out easily Never taken mine out, what does that leave? Do you have a flat shelf when the seat is removed? I may take it out for all the camping gear for Brands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
series_one 77 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I don't understand the difference - the rear seats can be stacked with items just like the bench. Heavy items may indent the seat foam but that would bounce back. I have carried many things in the back and its fantastic and I can take passengers if needed. I really can't understand anyway to think the seats are less useful than an empty space with a cargo net/elastic. Looks like you had a good party organised !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBD 781 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 As a cargo bin those +2 seats are pretty expensive and the leather is all too easy to damage. Would I put my wife's and my luggage on those back seats? No, and that is why I bought the 2+0 Quote If you have the choice between a Stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell don't forget the Nomex®!

Stirling_Villeneuve 105 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Ahhh... but with the +2 you can put the wife on the back seats and the wine in the front! Quote Currently having an illicit affair with another marque, be back in the fold one day... Link to post Share on other sites
auRouge 438 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I pulled out the +2 for two kids seats as it gains another inch for headroom and the back of the seats against the roof lining. It also makes it easier to click the ISO FIX in. I've now put it back in and have one in the back and my elder daughter sits in the front with airbag off... Under the leather it's a combination of aluminium and the ends of the carpets and Velcro. Doesn't look very neat without the seat in situ. The leather is robust, I have little feet clambering in and out and it always cleans up well. Evora is just another coupe, very practical with a bit of effort! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyBraham 5 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I never regretted choosing the 2+0, countless times I fitted bulky, unclean stuff behind the net, which would have damaged or dirtied the Oyster leather seats had there been any. But ideally I'd want easily removeable seats, because if you ever need to transport children under 10 years of age, the rear seats are adequate and turn the Evora into a family car. Yes, a lean collapsable pram will fit in the boot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAWS 439 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 An Oyster interior has black rear seats, so you would have been fine. The issue I have with the 2+0 is that the cargo net actually restricts the size of items you can fit in there, where as the 2+2 doesn't and you can move the front seats forward for even larger items and use the seat belts to secure things.

AnthonyBraham 5 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Good points. Something to remember when I order my next Evora I miss it terribly but it doesn't make much sense in Moscow (where I currently am) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, I've done that. When we came to Brands last year I packed the rear the pushed the seats back to compact it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
