Hey everyone... Thought it's about time to join I have bought AMG's for the last couple years, and don't get me wrong I still love them, but don't like where they are going now. I kept 2 of my Favs (AMG GTR, old C63s).
Now, I have ALWAYS wanted to try Porsche, so I have been getting into the Macan GTS a lot, and seems like a great car to test the waters in the Porsche family
By big question. Build quality.
My pet peeve.... Even with Mercedes like the 2022 CLA45, 2022 CLS53, etc... you get issues with interior creaks and rattles. It drives me absolutely crazy lol. For example, I had a 2022 CLS53... AWESOME car, but the driver side mirror rattles whenever I go over a bump, and the seat plastics creek. Unfortunate for a $100k car...
The CLA45... Pretty much every thing rattled lol. The door panels rattled like a old BMW, and the rear trunk rattled whenever the car was warming up... You can't even turn the base up because it sounds like the interior is gonna fall apart (it was a new, 2022 lol)
Sooooo... my question is: Will I be disappointed in a 2023 Porsche Macan GTS, in terms of build quality such as dashboards rattling or door panels creaking and rattling?
I always hear about Porsche and their amazing build quality... Does that extend to the interior? As in, nothing is gonna rattle?
Has anyone bought a new Macan GTS and noticed certain things rattling etc?
I hope that makes sense ha. Appreciate any input
Thanks!
Question about Porsche (Macan GTS) interior build quality (rattles, squeaks, etc)
I've only covered a few hundred miles in my S, so might be a bit early to give a full report; but so far no squeaks, rattles or anything else. It feels solid, insulated and very well put together.
Also no rattles or 'hollow' sounds when the music is pumped up.
Maybe all the leather helps?!

40K in my Gen2 and the only noise was from the passenger seat belt, it was rectified. I'm now 4K miles into my second...

My GTS has a fault where a piece of interior trim is squeaking but Porsche are committed to fixing it under warranty. They've acknowledged that it is a fault and not falling within their tolerance for rattles etc etc
Other than that, not a peep.

Gen 3 Macan GTS: PPUAVS94
Occasional rattle from the drivers door card but the dealer did dismantle it as a cable had broken loose inside.
Also disturbing noises from the passenger seat when occupied but only does it with one occupant

My GTS developed an annoying squeak from the tailgate that the OPC found and fixed. Otherwise it's been perfect
