Happy 1st Birthday

Well, the big 1 tomorrow as my GTS turns one year old since collection. Verdict, great car and didn't disappoint, so much so ended up driving car more than I thought! Oh well other cars I have had an easier year. Main negative is the telemetry/software/PCM compared to other cars its way behind others and let's Porsche down. That said I was buying a car not a smartphone or computer.

So pic of my mileage as I drive south again today, mpg was on ACC at xx mph.

So Happy birthday wee Macan and here is to another motoring year.

Cheers GTB

Nice one @GTB and more miles than most on here will do in a year

That's more than I did in the past five years, did it need an oil change or service for that mileage ?

Happy first birthday, 27k is a fair old wack, obviously a lot of motorway driving. Great spec on the car too…

You'll have to give it a dust out for it's birthday !

27k miles though. Fair play. I'll be lucky to get that after 6 years.

The car would have advised for service with oil change before reaching 20k miles and with those miles I’m guessing no oil change required beforehand. Unlike mine now asking for a second oil change at 16k miles

I need to get out more

GTB - impressive economy at that (high) average speed.

Thanks folks,

Car had its first service at 19,700 Mls and oil changed then, PCM had indicated service at 20,00 but oil change at 19,300! spoke with OPC said doesnt matter the slight diffrences. Never had to put a drop of oil in it (so far). Yes nearly all motorway miles and best I have seen was 36.5 MPG but usually sits on average between 28 and 32MPG on the long runs. PCM at this time says next service ay 39,700Mls and oil change at 39,000/mls

Birthday Cake, Jelly and cream and party baloons all organised for later today so some dust on the dash is the least of my worries...

Cheers GTB

Nice! Glad it's been such a pleasure to drive. I thought I was doing good at 4.5k miles in 6 months!

Good work, GTB!

Probably the highest mileage in Year 1 for anyone on here!

Happy Days is the other high miler that springs to mind.

Cheers,

Happy 1st Birthday
