Hi all
Great to become a member of this forum! Ive just put my deposit on my first ever Porsche which is due to be built in October, but I am awaiting the build date from my dealer...
I haven't gone mad on the extras as I soon found out they add up very quickly
Here's the build http://www.porsche-code.com/PNLZ3731
Is there anything you would/add or remove from this? I understand its all personal taste but this is a new experience for me and would like any advice.
One thing I am unsure on is the BOSE upgrade. My X6 has the Harmon Kardon system which is very good but I am unsure on what the standard ones are like in the Porsche and whether to save the additional £800 upgrade? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers
Dave

Afternoon. Looks great
I am also new to this forum and have also just put my order in for what is currently an Oct Build
My only query / consideration was the PASM option.Its currently off the options due to the parts and the tragic floods in Germany causing it to be removed from the configurator. I was tempted to delay but after discussion with a couple of dealers decided to plough forward with the order as it stands

PASM is standard on the S and GTS, so it will be interesting to see if that pushes the delivery back a bit for those of us expecting an October build.Feedthegoat wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 3:57 pm Afternoon. Looks great

Hi Dave. Welcome to our friendly forum! That’s a very classy looking spec on your Macan S! Personally, I haven’t gone for the Bose upgrade on any of my cars. Not sure that my ears would appreciate enough of a difference to justify the £800+. ‘Your mileage may vary’ as they say.
Cheers,
Simon

Welcome.
Forget the PSE, it drones very badly when cruising so the best feature is the off button, floor a Macan without PSE and you will get a roar, just not as loud..
Spend the cash on more worthwhile options or look upon the cash saving as that of two years fuel cost.

I was unsure on the BOSE option and as was the wife! I may give that one a swerve

Similar to the Bose sound upgrade, I was unsure whether it would be worth it. I did like the quietness of the Macan we had a test drive in and as you say, when you put your foot down it does sound lovely.

Hi
When selecting my Macan I started with an S and wanted similar options to those you have chosen, including PSE and 21" wheels. PSE is sounds great, but not on motorway I would agree, so depends on how much you will drive on the twisty fun roads.
When you add £11.3k of extras I think it makes sense to look at a GTS as residuals will offset the extra costs and many of your options are included. The 8-way GTS seats are different from those on the S and I find mine very comfortable
If you keep the S I would recommend a spare wheel, dimming mirrors and GT heated wheel will be better with SC.
This would be a spec I would look at based on the options you chose on your S. Extras are down 50%. Just something else to think about, there are so many differing opinions and criteria driving them.
