Hi pop pickers,

Has anyone gone for this? My wife and I love the GTS and I honestly can't think of a more suitable daily. Now that SWMBO has got used to the elevated driving position she won't go back down to a saloon type car. Not without protest anyway.
Obviously being a bloke a bit more poke in a car is always appealing. I just wondered what the PP was like. And do you think there'll be any offers on the go just before the Macan facelift comes out?
It's 85% my wife's wheels as I have my own toys but it's a lovely car to drive and I grab the keys when I get chance- Note to self:- remember that fekkin stupid disc immobilizer thing when you shoot off in it...... :roll:

Cheers, Paul :)

I should have said tracker. When we insured it a tracker was part of the deal and it's a PITA. I refused it for the 911 and I'll refuse it for the Macan come insurance renewal time!

Hi
I have a standard Turbo and love it, the way the power is delivered is much superior to the 3.0 litre engines.

The Turbo PP is even better as its suspension is the same as the GTS, I went to the PEC a few months ago and got to drive a Turbo PP on the handling circuit, lets put it this way it devoured all the other cars on the track with ease, the power deliver is like my own Turbo but on steroids the handling is brilliant.

Later that same day I am thrashing a 911C4GTS as fast as I could yet an Instructor was showing off in the Turbo PP and he caught me up.

So yes the Turbo PP is a quantum leap better than your GTS.

I have no hesitation to advise, put down a deposit, go to the PEC and drive one hard and if you then think it is as I described its confuserator time.
