Re: Porsche admits to 15 years of cheating & fraud in the US

What sort of petty individual would you have to be, to buy an expensive high performance sports car, drive it in Sports+ mode, and then take legal action because it's not delivering the published fuel economy figure?! If you want fuel economy buy a 1.0 ltr supermini, and leave your space on the wait...

Re: Picked up the pumpkin

Great colour! I've had my Papaya GTS a month now, and it's a real head-turner. Enjoy!

Re: Porsche Experience waiting times

Thanks chaps, that's what I would have expected too. I've chased Porsche Wilmslow on this about 6 times and been promised they are chasing it up, and yet I haven't seen any correspondence on the matter. If I were of a suspicious bent of mind I might wonder if they were lying to me. I've just sent th...

Porsche Experience waiting times

Hi all I collected my new Macan GTS last month from Porsche Wilmslow after a 12 month lead-time, but despite chasing multiple times I still haven't had an invite to the PEC. From previous experience I would have expected the track day before the spec lock-down date, as apart from anything else it's ...

Re: Dealer ceramic coating!?!

Thanks for starting this thread and the info shared. I have ceramic coating on my motorbike, and it's a huge benefit. My Macan GTS is due for delivery next month and my OPC is heavily recommending a ceramic coat, at £1500, which they reluctantly reduced to £1300. I would probably have gone for it, b...

Re: Anyone ordered a GTS in October 21?

Placed my order for a GTS in Sep 21, and was advised at the time the time the lead time would be up to 18 months. I've been chasing regularly, but not getting any useful feedback. My OPC said they had no GTS allocations for Q2 full stop. So I was surprised to get a call last week telling me I have a...

Re: GTS build dates

Hey Nelladrahcir Taken the old fashioned way I'm afraid - we'd been away a couple of days & the toe-rags bust in the back through the patio doors and stole both sets of keys. Bad for us, but hopefully reassuring for anyone with the keyless system. Local police were surprised - apparently this w...

Re: GTS build dates

I recently had my 2017 Macan GTS stolen from the drive. Yeah, it sucks. Taken a while to get the insurance sorted, and have finally felt able to go to the local OPC to put a deposit on a new dream build Gen 3 GTS in Papaya (www.porsche-code.com/PNZSZ444) - only to be told the lead time is now 2023! ...

Re: my first Porsche

Thanks for all the friendly comments and support.
Am hoping the sun will shine long enough this weekend for me to wash and dry the car then take some photos. Will post them on here ASAP. So far I've been too busy enjoying the car from the inside to stop long enough for photo opportunities ;-)
