Hello

Collected 2017 Macan GTS last Friday - lovely car quite different to previous standard Macan - however I have a problem....
The startup in the GTS is a lot louder than the Macan, so much so that it woke my wife up and she is now threatening that it's either the car goes or she does as she won't put up with the noise waking her up every morning.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so how did you resolve it??

Needless to say the car isn't going anywhere!!
Current - 2017 White Macan GTS

I think your last sentence sums up your solution!

Choice between wife and car is an easy one. Much cheaper to maintain a GTS [emoji23]

Tell her she’s lucky you didn’t buy a 911 and then modify it to make it even louder! ;)

Maybe Wingco could pop round one morning, early, to demonstrate just how lucky she is you’ve only got a GTS!

Didn't you test drive it and find out it roars a bit on start up.

Is the GTS in your bedroom? :lol:

Or park further away from the house? ;-)
Earplugs is a very good suggestion. 🎧

The cold start-up could probably be coded out by a Porsche specialist. Like people use Carly to code things in and out of BMW's.
