Hello, I’m hoping to run my build past people for their opinions and to double check a few bits.

http://www.porsche-code.com/PNT7JW10

To paint a picture, I recently took delivery of a very stripped back Gentian Macan Gen 3. I now regret going with a standard fabric interior and no pan roof. I’m considering placing a new order and leveraging the experience on this group to inform the options. I’d then sell my current one or replace my partners car with it. I want a sensible spec with minimal spend/wastage.

In addition to thoughts/comments on the build, I’d be keen to hear peoples views on:

8 way seats with leather interior versus 14 way leather seats (appreciate some items are missed versus opting for a leather interior).

Surround view vs using the mirror dip from the 14 way package

Aluminium Interior finish - anyone got examples of it on theirs?

Power steering plus - keen to hear views from people who have run both.

Chrono (my current S has it) - do people typically spec this on their Macans?

Thanks in advance!

Everybody will have an opinion on these matters and it always causes debate / argument

Just go with what you want and can afford

I think a black interior with a near black exterior is too much. I prefer a bit of contrast. Have a good look at the basic beige to see if you like it. I think it's great with navy.
