Two weeks to lock down

[Guy]

Have you considered the Loadspace Management System? At £228 it's a good value option - I am considering retro-fitting it (at a far higher cost!), and on reflection it would have been much more useful that the Roof Rails (which I have never used).

I have the load space management and this is probably the best value that I have seen from Porsche.

You get a reversible load mat (carpet and rubber), two lots of adjustable rails so that you can lock things down in the boot space to stop them rolling about and then you get a divider that goes from the boot space to the roof space to stop anything coming forward, good if you have a dog.

I also have the roof rails and fittings for the cross bars as again you cannot retrofit roof rails and the cross bars would have been double in price afterwards.

Had my Macan Turbo for nearly a week still getting used to it but looking at your spec the adaptive cruise control only works with cruise control and how many times will you be using it.

I have found the standard rear parking sensors very good and to be honest a rear camera will just show you what you are going to hit before you do.

Although the Macan is not a lot wider than my previous Boxster it is taking some time to adjust to the width because you sit higher up and cannot make out the space on the nearside especially when I am putting it back in the garage.

Surround cameras would assist but I would still prefer to be looking at the mirrors when manoeuvring instead on looking at a display within the car.

Done 300 miles so far and it pulls like a train but still running it in (just about), you will enjoy the car.

I had ACC in our last Golf and I seriously miss it. I do a fair bit of motorway driving, in fairness. However, don't miss out on the surround camera option. It's one of the best things in the Macan. I'd ditch the roof in favour of the camera system.

ACC includes the Porsche Active Safe braking system which standard CC does not, PAS is a great safety feature.

Thanks I've thought about it, and might go for it, just to get the cargo net which is a safety feature and IMO should be standard. As for the other stuff it is standard in my BMW and I've hardly ever used it.

Hi thank you and glad you are enjoying your car.

I have ACC on my BMW and it was the first box I ticked on the Macan wouldn't be without it. Just back from a 2.5 hour run from Norfolk and had it on 90% of the way.

The hardest dcision for me was colour, right till the last mnute. Although I love my VG, sort of wish I'd had Carmine.

We like blue cars But I must admit flying under the radar in a shade of grey does have some appeal. Seriously thought about silver.

I'd have the Pano Roof brings plenty of light into a dark interior.

Yep I do like that about it

Super spec martin. Love the colour and you have everything to make it an awesome car.
As per others spec what you want and yes you are right you can keep clicking.
This is my biggest problem with any car I spec but got my GTS just right imo.

Have to say Pano roof lets plenty of light in and we use it most days. Nice to get some fresh air in.

[martin5789]

Spec wise, the LED's are great, but you could save moeny and get the bi-xenon as we love them, and you dont miss what you dont have!

Park assist I'd upgrade to surround. trust me, with this car, its great having that GTA overview of the car and low walls!

Other than that, its a great spec! well done!

Hi. Thank you. I'd be happy with Xenons if they were properly adaptive (like those on my BMW).

Surround we may yet go for.
