Collected my 2016 Macan turbo just a week ago and have loved every minute so far.

It was optioned up to the hilt by the first owner and I’m still trying to find things it doesn’t have! The only disappointment is that the 18 way adaptive sports seats were optioned out for the 14 way comfort seats, but you can’t have everything when buying a used car and I have no issues with the comfort seats.

I’ve been a Boxster owner for nearly 5 years which is my weekend car and I have to say that the Macan is the best daily driver I have ever owned and could easily live without the Boxster as the Macan really is the complete package.

I’ll get some photos and full spec up at the weekend.

Thanks for having me :)

Welcome :D :D :D

As you say, Macan is a great machine. A boxster is a lovely car but 2 seats etc. is really no use to me.

Look forward to photos :D :D :D

That's a great spec. I love the sound of the Espresso leather interior, not a cheap option! 😎

Posting pics, go to "full editor & preview" and there is a tab called "Attachments", use that. Or you can drag a file into the editor window.

Or in Tapatalk on your mobile / iPad you can just insert pics from your camera roll.

Surprisingly, the extended full leather in espresso was a no cost option on the turbo. The colour looks so much better in the flesh.

That’s word for word the same spec as mine, apart from rear sun blinds, I also have a spare wheel. I don’t have a turbo though unfortunately!
I also have 18 way seats and they are a pain to get in and out of.

Welcome Clive that’s a Big spec indeed, re the 18 way though I think you have the right option I chose 14 for that exact reason.
