My first Porsche order

Ah, understand now. For pure performance I guess a Tesla Model Y beats them all

Until it silently and serenely glided to a halt…

Congratulations! Exciting times. I love my GTS steering wheel (with heating for me - cold hands) with carbon. And the shifter with carbon, and carbon instead of aluminium trim. I wouldn't be without the surround view. I also wouldn't be without the insulating laminated glass: I carry dogs and the clever glass cuts the heat by 50% in my experience. Also evidently is harder to break. I haven't tried this. I am also very pleased I added front and back cameras: Hull fitted them for £700 to match the West Sussex price. I heard about that price on this forum. I chose Papaya, but it doesn't sound as though that interests you at all. I had ATD Automotive, Beverley, apply a ceramic coating. I wouldn't be without it. If you fall out with Guilford, and I sussed three dealers before I looked at Hull, then I can recommend Matthew Symons at that (Lister) dealership. Have a great time configuring your car.

If the Macan is a moderately quick SUV then even the Boxter 4.0 GTS is only a moderately quick sports car

Well there must be at least half a dozen other mainstream SUV’s that are north of 500bhp??
Not a gripe, Macan is a great car and fast, just moderately so by comparison to quite a few others from BMW, Jag, Mercedes and Alpha etc.

I guess it depends how you define quick - Porsche have never been a brand to go for the biggest BHP figures, which is true even with the 911 with comparable segments.

Their 'thing' is handling - which I feel is especially true with the SUV segment. Yup you could buy a GLC 63 that has 500+ HP but it'll feel like a boat in the corners.

True, but throwing SUV’s through corners is not especially rewarding (even the Macan) but at least it feels less bulky than most.
Macan is a very good SUV and I love mine, just not a sports car that’s all

It'll never get repeated on the road, but the way my PEC instructor had me throwing the Macan S around corners in 'Normal' mode too, was quite an eye opener.

I would never have thought it was possible to do it, but the Macan just ate it up

If you spec PTV+ it'll feel like oversteer

If you spec PTV+ on a 4x4 Macan, the only thing you will feel is £1,200 poorer…

15) brushed aluminium with pebble also seems a bit................meh

I have a gentian blue Macan with Pebble Interior and Brushed Aluminium... Not an obvious combination, it works for me.
