@Spiky just reviewed your specification on the configurator! Wow it is exactly the kind of spec I am aiming for! It looks lovely!
Forgot to mention this is also one of my dream options: Carbon heated multifunction steering wheel!
Turbo - with Min SPEC or High SPEC diesel S?
Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure the Turbo had Bose, PASM, Sports Chrono, 21's, leather, Turbo bodykit, possibly PSE. No sunroof or Air but pretty much all the big stuff was covered. To spec an S or SD to Turbo was about the same price or more, without the brutal grunt.Boxster2Macan wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 1:50 pm Is it possible to check what the Gen 1 Macan Turbo standard specification was?
I know I will pay a premium of upto £5K for a high spec Macan when compared to a Macan with low spec and likely this premium will disappear when I come to sell it in 3-5 years, but at least I have paid a discount on these options when compared to new.
The specification is more important to me than either a Turbo or Diesel engine.

Seems an odd choice. Why have you discounted the lesser petrol cars?
I drove a 3.0 petrol without pasm and 21
Inch wheels and didn’t like the ride at all. I then drove a diesel with smaller wheels and was more impressed. Underrated I’d say
I have air and 21 wheels and the ride is great. I wouldn’t consider a diesel these days - for the right or wrong reasons I think they will lose a lot more in value
Turbos will be better standard spec. You might be able to find old brochures online or I could scan mine

Hi, Boxster2Macan

@Spiky, Is it correct to assume that you car price would have been similar to a Turbo when new?

You might be thinking of the PP? Standard Turbo didn't have 21's, SC, Turbo body kit (had some of it) or PSE.BigPhil wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 2:07 pmOff the top of my head I'm pretty sure the Turbo had Bose, PASM, Sports Chrono, 21's, leather, Turbo bodykit, possibly PSE.

I know you might be looking at MY16, but in addition to the spec in Madelvic's attachment, which is MY15, the MY17 spec added 3 zone climate control, Cruise control, and the Turbo included Navigation. The Turbo has the much nicer front end, and has the rear mid section painted.Boxster2Macan wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 1:50 pm Is it possible to check what the Gen 1 Macan Turbo standard specification was?

In answer to your question on diesel or petrol, I'd say petrol is the no brainer nowadays, and your mileage would rule out diesel anyway.

My SD is 2017 with 22k miles, the original bill was just over £70k with almost £25k of that on options. It’s a fantastic car with enough speed to match most things at the traffic lights. What I especially like is the PSE on the diesel, it seems to make more difference than on the petrol models, it makes the diesel sound acceptable.
I have extended warranty and the car has literally cost me nothing in nearly two years, other than servicing.
However, I long for a well spec’ed turbo........
