Hi everyone

I'm new to Macans and just saying hello. I've previously owned a Boxster, Cayman and a 911 but need some more space so went for a 2017 Turbo.

It seems pretty pokey and drives really well so I'm looking forward to the journey. It does need the 75l tank though :shock:

Hi and welcome.

I've got the baby 2.0 version and love that. But I did get a chance to drive the Turbo for 24 hours and boy was it next level! I think I'd lose my licence if I had that.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Rarecolour I had a 987 Boxster a long time ago and then a 997 Carrera S - held on to that for such a long time.

Nice. This must be quicker than those then, apart from in the twisties (these do handle well for the size though)

It is. In the little time I've had the Macan turbo it's been a dream.

Yours is this year's model - assume you specc'd it yourself. Is it the green?
