I’d agree that PTV+ is pretty pointless on the road and a waste of money in my view.

With a dark colour I’d consider chrome window surrounds and roof bars, and also not black wheels.

Just looks a bit dark.

Personal preference of course.

This is three month old demo with GTS sport pack and run in mileage available for £10k under list plus a further £2k VED saving so over £12k saving on new 🤷‍♂️
I also spotted that one, it’s a demo vehicle it will not be released until the end of March and then at whatever miles. It’s common practice for some to advertise beforehand.
Yes but they have to release it before 3.5k miles (you will notice many demo cars will show this as mileage) and in this case I’m pretty sure that it’s immediately available.
It’s certainly an outlier though and proves they can be found. I found one last month at £75k with 1.5k miles but it sold within days 🥴

I have to admit that I was probably going too fast for the road conditions , heavy rain , but I was surprised at the litle wiggle the Macan gave on two occasions.

When you throw it into a corner, and/or get on the throttle out of one, you can really feel it working to pivot the car on it's axis - feels like very controlled oversteer. In the wet, it results in actual oversteer which is also good fun. (I'm sure there is more oversteer to be had, but I don't dare take off the traction control.)

You won't notice it/use it pottering to the shops or cruising down the motorway at 70mph - so it depends what driving you do. If you think you'll be making the effort to visit some good driving roads and want all the performance you can get, it's a good option. If that's not you, probably not worth it.


One other thing I'd say - with the GTS sport pack you get the black painted lower front splitter, side skirts and rear valance. I think this looks horrible and replaces beautiful Porsche metallic paint with ,effectively, black plastic. I really don't understand this option. It reminds me of base-spec cars in the 90's and early 2000's when they didn't paint the bumpers.

However, other's really like it - going as far as to purposely spec it on a car that otherwise doesn't have the full GTS pack.

I'd say see if you can find one to have a look at in the flesh and see if you still like it.
Good point on the painted lower 'bits' - I'm not a fan either so that might swing it for me.
