Well it's goodnight from me. After 7 months with our Macan SD, I've finally persuaded my wife that I should never have sold my Boxster (took a bit of convincing but got there in the end). The Macan was sold to a new PC who are desperate for stock so they gave us a good price. I found a beautiful Miami blue 718 in Belfast - ex sales managers car - at a great price. Good spec too so can't wait to pick it up next week :D :D . Dealing with Ben who has been great so far.

PS - anyone interested in buying Macan boot liner & rubber mats - looking for Β£95 (cost new Β£170 and no we didn't get any freebies!!)

Nice colour :D
They still have a Cayman at my OPC in Miami Blue.
Did you have a 718 B before ? We test drove one a couple of weeks ago as we were thinking of a Cayman next.

At least you're sticking with Porsche! ;)

Please keep in touch with the forum. Look forward to hearing about your new 718.

Any pics...? :geek:

No last one was a Gen 2 987 Boxster S - a bit reluctant to go for the 718 due to the change to 4 cylinders & turbo and the fact we couldn't go for the 718S. Test drove a PDK 718S at our local PC this week - had sport chrono (which ours hasn't) & sports exhaust (which ours has) - turning sport plus & sports exhaust on turned it into a right hooligan :D :D - sounded like a frantic Ferrari but it convinced me I could live with a 718. Original plan was to look for a good spec 981S but they're asking too money and hard to find one with the right spec. I would only have wanted to change in 3 years time so it was a no-brainer.

Good luck v8trev. As good as the Macan is, it's still no replacement to a 718 or 911.

Enjoy and love to see the pics of the new toy πŸ‘

We had a 718 S PDK for the weekend (with PSE) .......hooligan doesn't come close!
No SC but not necessary, a bit gruff with the 4 pot and not as pure as a 6 cylinder but the power is so linear!
And so much fun. Select manual, keep it in second in sport mode, take it to 4000 rpm and lift off the throttle πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
