Wouldn’t bother with sport Chrono, not necessary on this type of car

The other small bits people have mentioned I would just add as not big bucks

Some excellent suggestions here.

So the spec now sits with;

Macan S Jet Black
Black Part Leather
14 Way Heated Seats
Black window trim
Black tailpipes
Black Roof Rails
PASM
21” 911 Turbo Wheels
Pan Roof
75 Ltr Tank
Heated Steering
Power Steering Plus
Comfort Lighting

Still undecided on the Sport Exhaust -

Final decision to make is the headlights. It gets dark early during winter months in the UK so decent headlights are a must.
Any opinions on the 2019 standard headlights? Is PDSL+ a necessary upgrade or more of nice to have?

On the pre-facelift Macan, Bi-Xenon was the upgrade and LED was the gold standard. LED are now standard, so I’d say that no upgrade beyond that is a must have.

I was in two minds about the PSE but a few recent posts that said it won’t make a huge difference on the new Macan S put my mind at ease and I saved the money and didn’t get it. I did got the sport tips though. Use it to get something else 🙂

@marksy, how does it sound without it?

Do you still get a decent song through the revs?

What about the dimming Mirrors? Small price

Re headlights I can’t really comment

Mrs came from a Boxster with PDLS to this with PDLS and it is like night and day

Whether the PDLS is worth it over standard I’m not sure as I’ve not driven another one at night

Completed to my other cars

Lotus - worse than candles
Leaf - has LED. They are ok but not as good as Porsche
AMG - has matrix. Best thing ever !
