Hi all, thanks for adding me.

After nearly 30 years of company cars I finally opted out of the company scheme, and 2 weeks ago took delivery of a new Macan GTS in Sapphire Blue - spec here:

The crazy thing is that on a PCP I reckon the total cost of ownership is going to be considerably less than the Audi A6 AllRoad company car it's replacing. I'll be keeping an eye on this out of interest.

In terms of driving experience, the GTS has blown me away. Amazing car.

Welcome and well done

Sapphire Blue!! Top man! My next Macan is planned to be a facelift GTS in SB, with Agate leather as I have now. Keeps with our garage full of SB Pork

Good to hear from another fan of Sapphire Blue - way too many black & white cars out there for my liking, a bit more colour is what's needed!

Great to have you with us Barmcake + glad the GTS is blowing you away - sure it'll carry on doing that for many months to come.

PS.....look forward to seeing the pics

Congratulations on a great car and colour choice.

Be prepared for lots of compliments on your colour choice. I've even thrown out my dark grey suits and got nice blue ones

Enjoy your GTS. I agree too many grey cars in the world though I did wobble for a while in that direction, my SB turbo is due in a few weeks

Welcome, Barmcake!

There were four gleaming Sapphire Blue Macans sparkling in the sunshine on Sunday at Beaulieu!

I too left my company car scheme after 21 years! After getting your first Porsche, you'll never look back! And like you, I found it cost no more to drive a Macan than an Evoque!

Care to share some photos...?

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
