Thanks everybody...I agree JonA's car is fantastic...however I'm limited to a budget and going 'big' on the wheels is not an option, so reluctantly Red is out...going to change from Grey to Midnight Blue, at least there are less around!

Now, do I trade in my specced sunroof for extended Leather in Pebble Grey?? :? :? :? :?

I get let stress at work! Roll on Lockdown!

Been there...unfortunately in my eyes Gentian goes purple in some lights...perhaps more importantly my wife has specced that on her 718 Cayman... ;)

Right, that changes everything. If you are going two Porsche family, then spec yours up and stop being so tight fisted! 😂
You’ll only regret what you didn’t get for the lifetime of ownership… 🤔

Trouble is we both agreed a max limit of £65k for our cars, I'm already c.£500 over budget! Rule is I've got to ebay 'stuff' to pay for any overspend....Haven't dared raise the issue of 1st year car tax!. :oops:

You should easily get an S with leather (extended not necessary but the leather interior) plus sunroof and a whole bunch of options I think 🤔
The standard wheels are actually very nice and can always be painted later if required. One of the most attractive cars I have seen was white with black accents- I tend to think the darker colours don’t really do the Macan justice but entirely subjective.
Good luck and maybe re-enter negotiations… 😂😂

You cannot beat Carmine with black door handles and black or carbon side blades. Here’s mine which is obviously not new, but still looks stunning at 5 years old.
