S is on confuserator

[pmg]

I'm at £68k without even batting an eyelid. I simply replicated my existing S (I did add the Crayon and Miami Blue colour schemes though. They're the mutt's nutts). But...given I have a 2018 model with only 2,500 on the clock at the moment, I think I'll let someone else be the guinea pig...especially given the new particulate filters!

I just looked at a similar spec to my year-old S, and it came up at around £1000 more than I paid, which is less than I'd expected. But I'm not too keen on the new wheel options. I like bright wheels on a dark car, and my 20" SportDesign wheels have to be the easiest wheels to clean!

Agree about the 20 wheel size choice. I made a similar comment to the SE at a local OPC and he said he was expecting more choice to emerge.

RE no headlamp washers.....................
Regs. apparently state that lower powered headlamps (less than 2000 lumens) of whatever flavour (LED, Xenon, Laser) do not require washers. I wonder how less impressive they are compared with the pre 2019 cars?
A bit like the 'downgraded xenons' on Boxster, Cayman etc.

Out of interest, I just specced one up as close as I can get to my new GLC and is was £63,600, so well over £65k on the road. My Mercedes was only £51k OTR. Yes, I know it’s not a Porsche but it does have better bhp, torque and 0-62 figures than the new S!

I’ve been playing all day, as I have the option to replace my stolen turbo with a base cayenne specced up to £73k or a similar spec Macan S for around £66k.
The cayenne is much more grown up, but I loved my Macan bar the lack of back seat space for adults.
Opinions wanted

most of my adult friends have their own car; no need to concern myself over rear seating!

Sounds like the Cayenne then. A ‘base’ Cayenne specced up to £73k could be a very nice car.

How about a Skoda Superb estate for the taxi and a Macan for personal use?

Would be interesting to compare residuals in 3 years’ time...

If I did that, it’d be Skoda superb for family/business duties, and I’d be back in a 911 as a second car. The whole point of the macan/cayenne is that it can do it all in 1 car.
As soon as you go 2 car, ones a large (fast) diesel estate and the other is a 911.
