Great to hear that you're a happy Macaneer, Saffa!
I agree with you on the standard stereo too. Perfectly good, in my view. I've only listened to the radio so far in my first 2,000+ miles. Mostly R4 too For me, the extra cost of Bose or Burmeister could not be justified. I preferred to spend the £££s on the paint.

Yep, also agree on the standard stereo. No problem cleaning sport design wheels, so it's worth considering those if you're upgrading.
Glad you're enjoying your new Macan. We're still enjoying ours 7 months and 3800 miles on. It still puts a smile on my face every time I turn the key in the ignition.

Great to hear Saffa + glad that the many positives really outweigh the few negatives.
Know what you mean about engine sound etc during regen cycle and it is an acquired listen! Was a lot easier to confirm with previous diesels which had "instant mpg" readouts on trip comp as could see figure dropping to around 20 mpg when it should have been 40+ etc! I reckon once you've run it in over 1k miles your driving style will significantly reduce the cycles.
Re storage - I use my storage pack extra places a lot but one area I find really useful is the space under the boot mat in front of the spare. I put loads of stuff in there (so not mixed in with normal boot stuff) that I might have had in glove box etc thus freeing up more inside space for stuff I might need when driving.
Can confirm the lovely ride on the 18"s (Inc PASM) and you can more or less treat kerbs with disdain + with being bigger tyres I think they look really nice after I've treated 'em with Autoglym Tyre Dressing every month or so!

Great right up and echoes a lot of others who are very pleased with their Macans. Love my GTS everytime I start it.
19" or even 20" ride well and just give it that sportier look too
