Whats people's thoughts on the GT steering wheel ?
Is it smaller, thicker, different rim design ? Or is it just the spoke design ?
I thought the rim in the standard one a bit thin..

Now that is a Hulk of a GREEN.

The GT steering wheel is nit an option many have chosen, it is just a bit of bling metal screwed on and a heating system fitted. In a standard steering wheel with hands at 10 to 2 the wheel is shaped and comfy to hold. If in doubt do have a hunt out for one at local OPCs. One thing though the single best interior extra is heating to the Steering Wheel, I use mine far more than the heated seats.

A couple of things on your Spec, you have no spare wheel, just a can of gunk comes with the car. I have had an unrepairable flat and had I not had a spare I would have been stranded for hours.

8 way seats, if you have not had a long test drive in a Macan with them I suggest you do before you lockdown the spec. Personally I find 8 way very uncomfortable and the last thing I would wish is for you not to have a comfortable driving position, I have been driving Macans for three years on 14 way seats and they are the most comfortable of any car I have driven. So please get this element right for you and any other driver of your Macan.

Thanks.
Ive driven one today for about an hour and a half on the standard 8 way seats, it did have the soft leather pack with leather EVERYWHERE ! I found them very comfortable.
I was like a kid in a sweet shop on the configurator back at the dealership the salesman was actually advising me not to get things ! Makes a change.

Did you manage a discount?

No discount for me. Still haggling for a freebie but nothing off the car.

If it was a facelift S you drove, then I suspect you are the 1st forum member to drive one! If so any comments on anything else other than seats?

Good, its what works for you that matters.

Keep some pressure on the SE as to what freebies they can throw in.

At handover previously buyers got a presentation box with a framed image of the car, a spare key and a keyring, and a full tank of fuel, that’s it. A full tank of fuel is Porsche UK policy so do not let them fob you off with only a 1/4 tank.

Some have had a Porsche USB memory stick or a set of rubber mats or an umbrella or some other item from their accessory range.

Macan 1 we got a set of 6 Porsche mugs

Macan 2 we got two Porsche travel mugs, which are excellent btw.
