is 2+2 really 4?

maytag · 11-14-2011, 04:54 AM

Hey all.
I'm hoping to hear from some Mondial owners as to the nature of the "+2". Specifically on the convertible: can you really put 2 people in the back? And how small do they have to be?
I've got this car still remaining on my "first-ferrari-Short-List", but only because if it will TRULY accomodate 2+2, then It's a cinch that's the one I want. But if it won't, then it likely doesn't make the final cut for me.

Help, anyone? Pics of your car with actual PEOPLE in the back seat?

Don't know about 4 adults...

If it's anything like the 308 GT4 I just got, then the answer is no. 2+2 = 3ish.

Fine for 2 small kids though.

Driver would be even more cramped to let an adult behind there, and with the offset pedals the frustration goes up easlily, which is why we stuck this 6'7" cameraman behind the wife on Bodega trip....

BTW: He didn't complain, but I'm quite certain 2000YELLOW360 made his azz hurt on that 'spirited river run' after lunch at Jenner by the Sea.

I dialed down the shocks and there are NO springs in those rear seats....but he did show all smiles.

Thank God we noticed the CHP early [his usual hidding spot]. This is one of the very few spots to pass clowns in their *&#@!! Campers....I was soooo tempted otherwise.

In road & Track I read that 2+2 means two adults and two in a pinch. (i.e. when you are not going very far) That was true in my 330 GT 2+2 and is also true in my current 412 2+2
