Hi Guys,

I have a test drive of an S and GTS on Tuesday, SE says S could be delivered middle of 2022. GTS is 2023 at the earliest.

Will be nice to hear the V6 petrol instead of my Diesel. I'll let you know my thoughts.

Sheffield.

I bought my current Macan from Leeds. I have called Leeds, they failed to call me back. So called Sheffield SE was very helpful. Said they have both models and i can test them back to back. I'm also testing a Taycan.

Test drove the S and GTS today. Macan S first. Really liked it smooth and sounded quite throaty on acceleration. My thoughts were the GTS is gonna have to be really good to beat this. Then the GTS, Sports exhaust sounds awesome and the drive just felt more engaging.
I think the GTS is worth the extra. Also had a go in a Taycan. 4 S I was surprised at how much i liked it, even though there is no engine noise. Unreal acceleration. God knows who had spec'd it but it was £125K.

Good choice.

Both great cars and the GTS is the higher spec car and higher in the range for a reason. So I’m not surprised at your decision.

No doubt the S crew will have something to say about that!
