Fully agree with your comments regarding the price of an S. A lot of the T reviews say why wouldn’t you just get an S for £1k more. If you spec up two similar looking cars the S suddenly jumps to a lot more than the T. Gives people the option I suppose to go for power or trim.
Nice spec with £10k of options but no seat memory at £200??
There’s only me that will be driving my car so if I specced it it would really be for the next owners benefit not mine.
Besides, I think it was a different option package on MY23. Might have been priced £400-500 and called something else iirc.
I do think I’ll regret getting the self park as the surround camera is that good I’ll rarely use it. Had it on a previous BMW and used it a lot but that only had a reversing camera. That couple of hundred could have gone somewhere else.

Yeah not a criticism, just curious. Self park is absolutely rubbish on the Macan if other member comments are anything to go by. Having said that if anybody can’t park with a surround camera they shouldn’t be driving!

Good write up, I agree with most of your comments but I do think that the coloured stitching just lifts up the interior that much more.
Enjoy the new car.
+1. I still love the Racing Yellow deviated stitching in my T, after more than 5 years of ownership. It really makes the interior pop!

No worries. I mean things such as memory seats and auto dimming mirrors should be standard on a £55k car anyway but the fact there are so many options on a Porsche means you can at least filter out the ones you’re not really fussed about.

My Porsche survey dropped into my inbox today and one of the things I commented on was that it’d be nice if the T was tuned a bit higher than the base eg 300bhp. That would sit it nicely between the base and the S.

memory comes standard with 14 ways seats
Indeed, but not with the 8w version on BZR’s build…

BZR’s is a very interesting yin to my yang - similar in some ways, opposite in others. Would be great fun to see them next to each other.
I think you made the right call taking all the Agate Grey off. Looks quite dark as a contrast on my crayon, but would look too light against black. The all black appearance looks great - quite mean! I even like the rear lights… very Knight Rider!!
