Hey!

[PD1976]

Welcome - I'm relatively new too, and have to say the forum is very friendly and welcoming. As well as informative.

Congratulations on ordering your Macan S - you wont be disappointed. I'm only 200 miles in, but I love it!

^^^ Already included in the noise and heat insulated pack.

When you open that code: PK1FS8H0, Porsche GB suggests:

You'd better slap their wrist as well

You got me second guessing too, fortunately the configurator makes you remove privacy glass if you spec the insulated glass. Still in two minds as to whether it's worth the extra for the insulated, I have it on my current car which is very quiet so my default position was to spec it on this, pricey option though....

With dark themed cars the dark headlights look good in metal too:

LED main headlights in black including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus): £ 1,065.00

Damn you! (they do look rather nice!). It's tricky to get a proper impression from the configurator, time for some image searching I reckon. And then decide what to remove!



Thanks for the very warm welcome everyone, I really appreciate the feedback! I've booked in for my experience day now so looking forward to that!

Cheers,
Carl

Nice spec, the one thing I would definitely say is that having had 3 Bose systems I currently have the standard Porsche system, haven’t noticed any real difference, you could save or use on other extras

Options are personal taste but here goes.

Exterior Colour Volcano Grey Metallic yes
Interior Colour Black leather package with partial leather seats yes
Exterior Panoramic roof system yes
Thermally and noise insulated glass including privacy glass No. I would choose Privacy Glass.
Sideblades painted in exterior colour Not required on VG
Side window trims in black (high-gloss) Yes
Air suspension with self-levelling function and ride-height adjustment including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Yes
Sports tailpipes Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur Yes, in Black
75 litre fuel tank Yes
Sport Chrono Package incl. mode switch, No, I would go for Sports Exhaust.
Power steering Plus No
20-inch Macan Turbo wheels with paint finish in exterior colour Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur Yes
18-Inch collapsible spare wheel Yes
LED main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) Yes
Automatically dimming mirrors Yes
ParkAssist (front and rear) including reversing camera and Surround View Yes

If I didn't have financial priorities I would probably tick everything or hunt for a fully loaded Tpp plus a 911.

As I say Options are personal and I would not trash anyones choices or expect anyone to like all of mine.

Delete porsche entry and drive
Lane assit etc to me is a waste of money as is power steering plus
Got to have heated windscreen as most people complain of missting and hopefully this can be the cure

Agree with the option (I had it on at 2012 Skoda Yeti and it was really efficient on frosty mornings) but not for the reason stated; no misting issues whatsoever on either of my Macans. Just leave the whole a/c to its’ own devices, set to Auto at around 21 -22 and you’ll have a mist-free screen in 99% of circumstances.

Same here, I park under cover which seems to help.

I've gone for a very similar spec., but in Sapphire Blue and I'm hoping to be collecting it in a couple of weeks.

A dumb question for someone! - how do you know you actually have Power Steering Plus apart from it being on my itemised invoice? not having driven a Macan without this option I wouldn't know the difference, this feature is not even mentioned in the 'incredible' handbook or in the car (as far as I can see anyway) ?
