ORDERING NEW CAR

[macview19]

I have a Macan GTS on order and before lockdown members views on whether I should add Sport Chrono and is this most desirable on this model for future
part exchange time.Current order codePLKPPVC6.Members views would appreciated thank you

Sports Chrono is not the most desirable extra, but I feel is expected on a GTS. It also gives much quicker/ easier access to the Sport button as it's on the steering wheel. Like the Compass it also breaks up the dash expanse and provides a clock that both the driver and passengers can easily see.

I have sport chrono fitted to my 2017 turbo. I’ve used it a handful of time’s. I haven’t launched the car but this is the biggest appeal of SC imo. Also in sport plus there’s no upshift farts hence why I’ll use sport instead.

Saying that, I’d always spec it. Helps with resale and makes the dash look a bit nicer, also has LC and faster shift times when activated. For £800 or so, it’s a drop in the ocean on a 70K plus car.

On a post Facelist i.e 2019 Models years onwards SC brings the steering wheel circular switch for switching between drive modes. Even on my modest "S" I find this useful and I would argue makes the SC less of a marginal spec choice.

never use it on my GTS, would I spec again yes for sure.

Hardly ever use it on my GTS, but a GTS without it is not complete. So definitely spec it.

Had it on mine, used it a handful of times but there is a “expectation” of SC on a GTS

(and the point about the facelift having easier access through the control on the steering wheel is very valid too; much more subtle if you have a nervous co-pilot)

Many thanks to the members who suggested I specify Sport Chrono on my order for the GTS which I will do before lockdown when we get back to some semblance of normality.Thanks for your advice keep safe and well

Eh? Is it really a resale killer?

[MCDK]

Wouldn’t say it’s a total resale killer but is very much expected on a GTS I would say. Used buyers tend to be very fussy and want everything they expect and if there are a choice of cars for sale I would reckon the GTS with Chrono will go quicker. Also looks a lot better with the clock on the dash which is why many buyers select it and never really use the features.
