Hello All!

Just placed my order for my first Porsche!

Porsche Leicester have been excellent to deal with!

Macan S Jet Black
Black Part Leather
14 Way Heated Seats
Black window trim
Black tailpipes
Black Roof Rails
PASM
21” 911 Turbo Wheels
Pan Roof

Anything Ive missed or you guys recommend I should add before the spec is locked?
Does it need the comfort lighting? Dimming mirrors?
Are the standard headlights decent?

Ive never had to spec a car to this detail before!

Welcome!

Options are of course personal. Lots of opinions on here!

I’d recommend Comfort Lighting.

I’d also suggest the following “low” cost options:

75ltr tank
Heated steering wheel

Try parking a Macan, and choose between getting a Reversing Camera or Surround View.

Adaptive Cruise is a very good feature to have.

Welcome!

And congrats on your order! :)

The all-black look is very stealthy. Love the 911 Turbo wheels.

I agree on the heated steering wheel & larger fuel tank.

If it were me, I'd consider Sport Chrono and/or Porsche Sports Exhaust, possibly in place of the pano roof...

Great looking machine. Great colour choice :oops: :oops: :oops:

I really like the pano roof too. :D :D

Reversing camera and spare wheel are useful options.

What’s your budget? I ask as it’s easier to completely blow it out of the water if you tick all the boxes people advise on here

There is a thread on here about recommended specification and I’d look to add what you need and what is deemed essential for a good resale value

Wow, did not expect such an awesome response, thank you all.

So reversing camera is in.

I would love the sports exhaust and the chrono but already pushed my budget as it is. Does anyone have any experience with the sports exhaust?
Does it make a big difference?
I went to the dealership and the demo car has sports exhaust, honestly wasn't much in it both on and off, however this is from inside the cabin. Any advice on this?

I like the Pano roof and have been told its a great way of improving resale value.

Shocked to discover you don’t get vanity mirror lighting without the comfort lighting pack!

A few more tweaks today/tommorow and lock in for monday. So excited!!!!

I do get the impression that the sports exhaust makes less of a difference on the facelift Macan, quite possibly connected to the introduction of the petrol particulate filters.

Don't forget the smoke smoke package to avoid the dust trap and the Power Steering plus.

The OPC must deliver with a full tank of fuel . . . . . get the 75 litre tank it will pay for itself over time not having to refuel mid journey.
