Hi all,
Time to say hello after I collected my first Porsche this week, 19 plate Macan S. I’ve taken a lot of great info from the forum so delighted to now be a member.
I was driving a 2014 Q5 (have two young kids...) and had been looking to change for a few months. Considered a Levante, Velar, C43, F Pace, before finally settling on the Macan. I’d initially ruled it out as more than I wanted to spend, but the man maths came through strong and the numbers suddenly all worked
Love the car so far, the engine is great, much smoother ride than the Q5, and the handling is fantastic. Having a couple of issues with CarPlay connection but I’m sure that will get sorted.
Spec is:
Volcano grey with full leather, 19” wheels, Pan roof, PASM, Surroundview, heated seats, heated steering wheel (love it!), a few other bits and bobs. I might upgrade to 20” RS Spyders at some point.
Had a really good buying experience with Porsche South London, well looked after by Joseph.
New Porsche driver
I wouldn't worry too much about going to 20" wheels unless you're sure of decent quality roads.
They're quite potholed here in Essex so i went for the smallest rim / highest profile available.
Love the surround view.

Welcome !
We tried the velar too
Nice comfortable ride and nice place to sit then I got to a corner....
Was also worried about reliability with a JLR product !

Yes, often use sport + ACC on motorway.
On the other hand for a long sedate drive through France the air is amazingly comfortable.
Hope we're allowed to do that again one day as i'm expecting a French grandchild in November!

I don't find the 21s that bad, so 20s must be really comfortable.
