You can't be too fussy about the spec with the low numbers sold.

The sales person thought the engine was pretty much a software change in the PP; it doesn't get a changed 0 to 60mph spec.

Having said that i don't feel Porsche push the acceleration figures as I've seen better results on Autocar reviews.

If you're into music Burmester is worth every penny and preloved won't cost much.

i guess i'm a hot person as i'd go for ventilated seats more than a heated steering wheel. We often start off with my side being cooled and ventilated and my passenger on full seat heat.

We're on air and 20" wheels and the ride is fantastic so the Macan is now our car of choice for short and long journeys.

I have now Re assessed my position on this. I would rather wait for a car with the right spec for me than hurry into any purchase which is very tempting. And I have decided to go for the PP as it has a much firmer ride and pee as standard and looks much better value for money. Residuals and GFVs are much better..

Speaking to a lot of dealers to see if there is one to my spec. My local dealer has a nice one albiet in black which is not my first choice in colour.
The search continues..

Spec looks good.

T PP is great but you will not have much choice available so compromise may be necessary.

Only thing missing that would matter to me is ACC.

Slightly concerned by your comment ... a much firmer ride ... even with the suspension set to Sport+ and the low ride setting selected the ride quality will be far softer than BMW M or Audi Sport modes.

On a straight country road there is not much difference in ride quality whatever the setting, its only when cornering hard that the different settings can really be felt.

Absolutely, I was referring to previous comments in here that the GTS and PP sit 10mm lower and a slightly firmer ride. The Turbo is more relaxed ride. But irrespective, way better than any Audi, BMW or Merc. I feel the Jags are the only ones which come a bit close but the Macan trumps them all..

I love ACC but not many with that feature. I even have it on my wife's Mini Cooper S.

Just looked on the official Porsche used car finder site and the T PPs they have listed are from £71.8k upwards.

For that amount of cash I would wait until the facelift comes out if you can and buy a new Turbo.

Given that the PP was the last one to be announced, would the next PP not be atleast 2 years down the line? So I thought going for an almost new one now would be perfect timing.. Or am I missing something here with my thinking??

That’s a very nicely spec’d car! I don’t know resale values in Britain but it would seem to be extraordinarily rare and may hold more value as a result. What was original cost?
