Hello

Looks like there a few new members buying a GTS and I'm happy to be one of them.

Last 2 cars have been X5 M50D (current) and a X5 40D.

This'll be my first Porsche and I couldn't be more excited.

Spec here http://www.porsche-code.com/PLQG9H15

I keep worrying about the colour but every time I see one in the flesh I love it although I realise it's not for everyone.

Mine should be here within a month so can't change anything now. Porsche Entry and Drive was a late addition but I've gotten used to this in my current car. Was going to have white dials and Grey seat belts but wanted to keep costs reasonable.

When I inevitably curb the black wheels will the scratches be silver?

Hello and welcome :D :D :D

Great looking spec..

I like the X5 but they are too big for what I want. I nearly bought one before the Macan.

The wheels are not too bad for curbing ...... but I am still quite careful.

Welcome to the forum and the growing GTS buyer list :) Crayon looks great when the sun is out, not so common in Scotland

Spec looks great and you have a lot of options I chose plus several more I resisted, but would have liked.

I am the same on entry drive, gotten used to it and did not want to leave it off, had there been keyless start I may have left it off.

Sport design mirrors and side blades in exterior colour plus no roof rails :) another for the heated screen & power plus too.

Mine due mid March. Are you looking at ceramic/PPF protection?
Arrived March 2020 - Sapphire 2020 GTS (PL17PEQ3)

I'm getting Swissvax for free - reapplied in a year - although I had been looking at Ceramic - won't bother now.

Looks nice. I like the crayon especially with the black accessories (handles etc).

I was tempted originally but couldn’t bring myself to go for it in the end. I’ve not seen the colour look dated yet but it was a concern for me personally.

Welcome to the forum. I too have a GTS on order, no delivery date yet.

I wasn’t too sure about Crayon when it was first introduced but having seen it I do like it. The same with Miami Blue, the colour grew on me but not my Mrs so we are in the Sapphire Blue club.

I came from many BMW’s and, trust me, the Macan wheels have the correct tyres to resist curbing. Compared to a BMW you’ll have to try quite hard to curb the wheels. (Famous last words)
