RCF is a fun car but going in/out in the rear for the infant/child seats x2 and children will be a really big hassle for you...

I find the RCF to be very large and roomy for a sports car. I literally raised my 19 and 20 year old daughters riding around in the back seats of various Porsche turbos that I used as daily drivers.

I opted for the RCF over another turbo, as a daily driver, to tote my 4 year old around while she is in a car seat. I have more than ample room with one child seat and that seat does not impede on leg room for my wife. As long as you are below 6 foot tall, you should have plenty of leg room on the driver side with a car seat in. The seats sliding forward and large doors make loading and unloading children easy.

I suppose it is all relative and we do have larger vehicles for wife and for long trips. That said, I have used the RCF for trips when taking the wife, 4 year old, dog and luggage to out of town family holiday or events. Lol, I just don't like driving SUVs unless pulling boat or car hauler . . . We had plenty of room and the trunk is a nice size in the RCF.

If that's the case, RCF should be a lil better for you... It's just that you said you have an ISF which is a lot bigger so, I was like that's a hassle... Maybe you can go to Lexus with your infant/child seats and check it out... But you might end up leaving with the infant seats at the back of the RCF...

It all comes down to what do you want to drive? If you priority is size, a coupe is not for you. If your priority is sports car that can get the daddy duty done, the RCF can fit that bill. I also think type of child seat may make a huge difference here. Some are certainly deeper than others.

It will be a downgrade for space..

Have you considered the GS F..??

That will offer the same performance but a little more luxury & space for the family

No pictures, but I'm hauling around 1 kid in my RC-F, 2 in the next couple of months when he's old enough to go to daycare with me. Front facing convertibles sitting behind me, lots of room (I'm 6'2").

One of the reasons I picked the RC-F over the M4. I was hauling car seats to different dealers to test fit everything.

The back seat is roomy, all things considered, but getting back there is the hard part. I'd go for a GS-F like Joe Z mentioned before buying an RCF if the kids having to fit is a MUST.

The trick is to actually stand half way into the back to buckle the kids down. The front seats move forward really far. My gf is shorter than me, she goes all the way in the back to get the kids in their seats. It's actually a lot easier than other coupes that I've owned.
