Hi

I picked up my new to me 2018 GTS 2 weeks ago. 16 1/2 years since I sold my 968 due to our 3rd child. And nearly 26 years since my 1st 944 ( Oval dash model for those that know :) )

It has not stopped raining since I picked it up so no new pictures hopefully you like the Porsche pic.

Im sure I will have loads of questions so please bare with me.

Welcome Kev,

Only 12 years since I sold my oval-dash 944, 5 years since the 968 went and 1 year since the Macan GTS went.

Hope you really enjoy your GTS, I thought mine was a brilliant car. I would have another in an instant, they are that good.

Cheers.

Hi jone66, thank you.

Thoughts ? Awesome car.

I have wanted for a long time an Audi RS6, found what I thought was the perfect car and was about to buy it.
My wife phoned me and asked if I had I thought about a Macan as she was driving behind one and liked it.
A quick look at the local Porsche dealer and the GTS had just come into stock along with a few other cars, we saw it up on the ramps going through its inspection and knew I would buy it even before driving it.

I haven't driven a standard model so cant comment on performance difference but the GTS is either a sedate comfortable runaround or a very quick SUV.

Local journeys give around 20mpg, a 200 mile trip this week gave 30 mpg thx to the M23/M25 average speed cameras.

No regrets at all other than I love the new tailgate lights.
