Hi! Just joined looking for a Macan

[Deleted User 4436]

One other consideration for the pano roof... you lose some height in the rear seats, about 4cm in the gen 1 Macan. So if you have tall children to put in the back (as I had/do) then you would be better without it unless you can put up with the whingeing about their heads hitting the roof.

This is easily fixed by specing the Bose stereo. Then you just turn it up to drown out all the moaning from the back seats.

Get the Burminster turn it up loud and they will be vibrating their heads against the roof

Thanks for the welcome and feedback especially on the pana roof. Will have to sit in one to see what it is like

Other things I wasn't sure if needed:

Porsche PTV and Power steering plus - Views? These were included in the recommended 'GTS Plus" builld on the gen 2 GTS

Martin can you post with builds? I'm intrigued as they start with an £11.4k difference?

I'm kind of in the same boat but the extras for me Would have to be added to both cars with the exception of the £1054 leather option that bizarrely comes with the GTS if you spec 14/18w seats but is extra on the S???

The difference between S and GTS is more like £4k as 18 way seats in your S spec but not S same with the storage package. and then moving the S to GT design wheels would add another £1300 so back at around £5k difference which happens to be the difference between my S and GTS specs from memory

Thats sounds about right. But looking to drop panaroof on both and S did not have GTS seats. The only difference I could see between GTS seat and the 14 ways is the adjustability

I was also recommended by Silverstone OPC to do a 3 year PCP and if EV release of Macan was desirable I could chop it in after year 2.

It could not see what monthly costs would approximately be on PCP for a certain amount of deposit but the advise was to put as little as possible as deposit. Either that or go with an independent broker to finance the car given there are no incentives for Porsches

The bolsters on the GTS are like 18 ways than 14 ways and the memory package is missing on GTS 8 way

That is what I meant the 18 ways (most expensive seat option) Get confused with the plethora of options!

You also get electric adjust of the steering wheel with the 18 way seats. Not sure about the 14 way though. 8 way has manual steering adjustment, even if you spec the memory package.
