Most of the spec I have on my current cat so reluctant to go backwards with that.
I love the look of them as well saw them on a showroom Macan looked lovely :D
Nice. I would say that race tex headlining is a “saw you coming” option for £1k - standard one is fine and not sure you would notice the difference!! 😂

Good to know on headlining, got a GTS for an extended test drive soon so will have a look then at some of the options and see which ones I notice :D

Looks nice but there are a lot of unnecessary options on there

Porsche courtesy lights - why ? You know it’s a Porsche ! Who else are you trying to tell!

Insulated glass - do you not want to hear your sports exhaust at all?

Lane keep Assist - the option that most people get frustrated with and switch off!!

Ioniser - you smell

Illuminated kickplate - you really do want to be reminded you’ve bought a Porsche right!?!?

Have it on my current car like the effect.
Can open the roof for that :lol: But will have a better idea when I have my extended test drive.
Have deleted this option now
Suffer from hay fever so thought it would be a good option for me
Again have it on my current car and I like the effect.

As many have said on here before everyone has their own personal tastes :D

I have hay fever but I have not had any problems with driving in pollen season once inside my Macan.

Pollen filter works.

Agree with Tracky I had illuminated treads in my ex showroom Macan, a waste of time, did not include in Macan number two.

The treads where standard on my AMG - I remember noticing them once or twice. They provide no benefit

As for the Porsche downlighters - too Halfords car park for me !

Options reflect personal choice. Two years ago, my wife and I had a test drive in the then new Gen 2 GTS. The demonstrator was fitted with the Alcantara roof lining. We both said "wow, that looks great" and added it to our spec. Never regretted it.

I am a believer of keeping Options to those I use, and not to bling up the exterior with goodies I only see when going to my Macan or whilst cleaning it.

The only bling on my Turbo is the Sports mirrors, standard ones at the time were on a cheap and nasty looking plastic stalk so upgrade was necessary. The other is an Alloy Gear Shift, an aesthetic masterpiece.

My other options are for comfort and those I use like ACC and Surround Cam, only included a Pano as the interior is to Audi like and dark without the Pano.

The ride of your Macan will seem vastly superior to the Go Kart ride quality that you will be used to with your Audi’s, I had an Audi Q3, utter rubbish compared to my first Macan.

Enjoy fiddling with the Confuserator and good luck with whatever you decide are your own Must Haves.
