Nice spec 👍

I'd have the GT alloys rather than a pano and also add heated steering wheel and surround.

Does the GTS interior you've chosen have extended leather? ie leather on lower dash, centre console, door cards etc? I think it really lifts the interior and makes it feel pretty special...much nicer than the elephant hide look that comes as standard

Thank you
If you are buying from JCT 600 you won’t get a full tank of fuel, trust me I know 😡

Nice spec and congrats on such a low lead time.

As for options, it’s a case of one man’s meat is another man’s poison 🤷
I can vouch for that...they just told me the way to the nearest Shell station when I set off home approx 170 miles away with a nearly empty tank after picking my car up from them 😡

Thank you. Surround cam is going on.

Car is garaged so don’t think I need the heated SW (or windscreen).

Wheels are one of the things still TBC but to be honest the standard spiders are my top choice.

The configurator is not clear about the GTS interior when taking full leather instead of race tex, but it does say the extended leather pack is included in the latter. I assume it is therefore equivalent to the extended leather, with the red seat belts and centre dial added. I will be double checking this because extended leather is my no. 1 must have.
Arriving in June, all being well. Slightly tweaked to now include Bose - https://configurator.porsche.com/en-GB/ ... m=PS4LXHU0

Ah, if I remember rightly you bought from Newcastle. I bought from Teeside, both JCT600, my first Macan was from Newcastle and didn’t get sweet FA from them. With my first Macan I got a call from them, even tho I told them I was on holiday in Tenerife. I thought it was my car had arrived early, but no it was to make an appointment to see about gap/ wheel/ tyre/ dint insurance 😡

Heated steeering wheel I have but only because it was a smaller wheel. Have used it twice intentionally in 2+ yrs but then I’m down south in Surrey. I get more hassle with accidentally switching it on - I’d not miss it. Must be for northerners with their baby soft hands 🤣

Great spec, not too dissimilar to what I would choose myself. It would be great to spec this and spec that but the reality is, the more you spend on spec, the more you lose in depreciation.
