I am currently looking at this ? No doubt it will change, which is the problem with the configurator, you keep going back and adding more !

Spec looks good.

Have included my general advice as follows.
.
.
My suggestion of the minimum fitments that I would include in any Macan is:-

14way seats .
Basic non GTS 8 way seats have a flat back and are not as comfortable as the upgrades, GTS 8 way seem more comfortable than standard, however do test drive a Macan fitted with the 8 way seats if considering retaining them.

Xenon lights .
Basic halogens are questionable in their capabilities, most owners with halogens regret not upgrading. If funds allow LEDs are a quantum leap improvement over Xenons.

PASM.
Gives adjustable suspension which results in a smoother ride and better handling capabilities, this really is the key inclusion to have to get the best ride and handling in a Macan.

20" wheels.
A personal choice, 20" gives a good compromise on looks, handling and kerb management.

PS+.
Lightens steering load at parking speeds then progressively reduces to zero assist at road speeds.

Spare wheel.
Plus two purchased cans of sealant / inflator gives options in the event of a flat and especially a damaged tyre/wheel.

Reversing camera.
Rear quarter vision is poor, to check out yourself in a test drive by parallel parking the demo car, if funds allow then Surround Camera is even better.

Interior light pack,
Replaces bulbs with LEDs for a more pleasing interior look and the all important illuminated mirrors.

Other popular inclusions are:-
Pano sunroof, lightens a dark interior
Tinted glass, purely for looks and it enhances the stealth look with blacked out trim
SD mirrors, an aesthetic choice often fitted ue to the questionable quality of standard mirror mount.
Colour matched sideblades, enhances look and will aid cleaning.
Roof rails, its an SUV so kind of expected, but looks equally great without
Heated seats, useful.
Heated steering wheel, a favourite of mine that gets used more than the heated seats.
Sports Chrono, gives dial in top centre of dash plus launch control and more aggressive gearbox and throttle maps.
Porsche Sports Exhaust, do note that PSE is an aural performance addition only and has no power increase benefits.
Leather upgrades, an almost universal upgrade on non GTS Macans.

Good model choice and great colour
#teamwhite

It's a good start but there is room for improvement (LED, spare wheel, PS+, surround cam) for the main ones
No worries, the members will help you to spend your money, they are very good at that but thanks to them we all ended up with a very nice config.

Also it seems with the "new" smoke package you will lose the 2 USB ports at the back, keep that in mind

Nice spec, suggest definitely heated steering wheel, LED headlamps are the best if night time country A/B road driving and PS plus makes parking very easy. 😊

Nice spec, would suggest adding the black door handles as they really finish the car well especially on White

Hi that's a nice spec and close to what I'd order if I was getting a GTS. Have you tried a car with lane change assist? I found the lights flashing very distracting.

Nice looking GTS and well specced up
Different ideas from different people will see you back to the configurator many many time!
Mine has the LEDs which, on the GTS, aren't a huge £ step from the standard xenons and probably worth it if you do night time driving on unlit A and B roads.
No -one's yet mentioned Sports Chrono so I'll chuck that into the mix ; no more power, I use mine extremely rarely but it might help desireability on re-sale (if that's a priority to you?)
I saw Spud's SD a while back and the black door handles do look nice on white; even more so on a GTS with all the other contrasts.
PS+ is a nice to have, didn't have it on my SD and Mrs Paul had no issues parking /around town but it was " negociated" onto my current GTS as a dealer fit and its OK.
SD mirrors look nice, etc etc.....
Not long till september!

Agreed. At only £480 I'd definitely go for those. For some reason they're £780 on the turbo. Once you've driven a car with adaptive headlights it is hard to imagine doing without.

Great looking spec!

As a GTS owner i can tell you that we find the 8 way seats comfy! the standard Bi-Xenons are better than our last car. And the surround camera is the best thing you can put on the car! Especially if you drive around tight car parks or in central london!

The black handles would really set the look off!

And remember, whilst we used to recommend the smokers pack to cover the little hole in the centre console, remember it now deletes the USB ports in the rear and adds an ashtray there. Something to bear in mind!
