Having paid a deposit 15 months ago, I’m off to collect our new Macan GTS ( https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PRKB9HR3 ) on Tuesday.
I've been reading this forum for a few months and must thank everyone for all the information and advice gleaned before and after finalising the spec. E.g. Col Lamb’s advice/rants about the inclusion of a spare wheel!
Apart from this car being the largest car I have ever owned, I'm slightly apprehensive because after 40 years of black(hole) interiors, we’ve chosen a pale leather - not quite sure how that will pan out from a practical perspective since we tend to keep cars for long periods. However, my wife optimistically points out that if and when the interior gets dirty, she can always buy a new one. I'm relieved to say she doesn’t apply the same principle to houses (or even husbands). At least she hasn’t yet.....
Speaking of whom, I must try to remember that this car is supposed to be hers.

Welcome to our friendly forum!
Gentian looks good!
Don’t worry about the light interior. Before my Porsche days, I had an Evoque with a light interior & that was fine. Plus, there are good cleaning products out there!
Feel free to share more details/pics of your other Porsches.
Cheers,

Welcome! Don't worry about the Pebble interior, it will stand up well to use. Mine's 5.5 years old and still looks great. I use Restorers Leather Cleaner, which gently lifts grime off the seats.

I realised that afterwards but couldn’t be bothered to edit
Must have porches on the brain - my parents who have lived in the same house for 40 years have now decided they want a porch on their house - pissing my inheritance up the wall I’ve told them !
