Hi everyone,
About to order a Macan and just wanted to see what people think of the configuration. I know we all have different tastes but wanted to get a feeling.

Is Active Cruise Control worth it?
Thanks everyone, hope lockdown ends soon and we all can drive more!
Spec advice
I think that’s a nice spec but is there any reason you didn’t go for the ‘S’? It’s not significantly much more when you’re spending that much on options. You get quite a bit more power.
Add larger fuel tank?
I’m a big fan of Adaptive Cruise.

+1. Spending over £11k on options, I’d definitely consider an S instead, even if you lose an added option or two in the process (if you want to keep to the same all in price). Maybe even look at a GTS, which is a smashing car even with next to no options specced.
P.S. Welcome to our friendly forum!

A lot will depend on where you live (city or rural) and your typical driving roads - inner city, motorway, B-roads. Perhaps you can give us some further insight on your vehicle usage.

I love ACC personally, I wouldn’t be without unless the car was perfect in every other way. But buying new, you have the luxury to choose.
June 2017 Macan GTS in Carmine red with 21” gloss black sport classics, GTS leather package, Air, PASM, PDLS+, pano roof, Sports Chrono, 18 way seats, BOSE, surround view, heated seats front and rear, carbon side blades and carbon interior package.
Thank you all for the warm welcome and recommendations. I am amazed by the fast responses, didn't expect that!
As in where I live and what we use it for, I'm in North London and these days the only use is for grocery shopping (as you can imagine) but post lockdown would be mainly inner-city and of course occasional trips to countryside as and when we can.
Can't change the wheels as it's the wife's must have. I hear what you all say on going for S, I was on two minds whether to go or not but the dealer said S is always thirsty (let alone GTS) and put me off a bit to be honest.
Also the interior Mojave Beige, we're going to see the material today for one last time but in reality it doesn't look as good as in the Porsche Code page photo so I think I'll change that to black!
And I'm gonna keep the ACC, thank you all!

For your usage, the 2L is probably the best engine. Mind you don't expect brilliant fuel consumption, it is hauling around nearly two tons of SUV.

I agree (with both these comments).
Perhaps have a look at the other interior colour options. For example, Agate will lighten the interior and match the exterior.

I had a 2L loaner for a few days and couldn’t get more than 28mpg, even cruising on the M25.
I think you should try and test drive the S and the 2L back to back and see what mpg you’ll get, I think you’ll be surprised as the S is not any worse than the base Macan in my experience.
