You won't need winters in London

Crazy spec?
Awesome spec. Out of all the options you have ticked I find surround view the most useful. It makes the Macan much easier to park. I also love the adaptive cruise which over long journeys makes the drive a lot more relaxing. The countdown begins.

I've got lane keeping assist on mine. Not sure I like it very much. About 20% of the time, it tries to steer you the wrong way, and usually at complicated junctions or roadworks where you really need to pay attention. So it ends up being an unwelcome distraction.
The salesman was properly rating it though as a cool thing.
Lane change assist is ok though (warns of vehicle in blindspot).

Lane change assist is ok though (warns of vehicle in blindspot).But how prominent is this aspect of LCA: 'Issues an acoustic warning signal in the event of the vehicle straying unintentionally out of lane.'? Or do you go through a routine of turning this off each time the car is restarted?Blind spot warning is handy (have it on my current Q3), but wouldn't want an audible warning each and every time I pulled gently into the 'overtaking' lane on a fast dual carriageway and then equally gently returned to one of the inner lanes.

It is the lane departure warning that issues a beep. Standard on all models but can be switched off. Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) steers you back into the lane and is an option.Blind spot warning is handy (have it on my current Q3), but wouldn't want an audible warning each and every time I pulled gently into the 'overtaking' lane on a fast dual carriageway and then equally gently returned to one of the inner lanes.
Lane Change Assist (LCA) is the blind spot warning. It doesn't make any sounds. It just flashes some lights on the door mirror as a warning. I like it.

Hi Dougal DC,Join the club!!! I understand where you're coming from, I kept going through the configurator [30 times +] and in the end felt I couldn't get rid of anything else!!! admittedly the Burmester is £3,000 though.I would agree with the other comments on Sports Exhaust / PTV and Chronos, but if you have tried and heard them and still want them then its your money, personally I believe that in a few years these "loaded" cars will still fetch a premium as they will be so few and far between,
I don't know what others have found but when I traded in my Cayenne, which was loaded with £20k of options I did not get much more than a lower specced version. Chose the options that are going to make your ownership of the Macan more enjoyable. PCM & leather help with residuals but, in my opinion, most of the others don't.
On 20" wheels and with PASM, the diesel S Macan has far greater handling abilities than my driving abilities. I would seriously think again about Torque Vectoring. Apart from that, enjoy your car.

Lane keeping tugs at the steering wheel. You can turn it off. Or save money buy not speccing it!
I've got the advanced EPAS (I forget porsche's name for it) so it's a bit weird getting any feedback through the wheel!

yes, I am thinking similar, though the plan is to move into the sticks a little soon.OP, I've got s/exhaust on my diesel S order, it makes a fantastic grumbling V8ish sound not at all like a diesel, the sports exhaust is the very last thing I'd take off my spec :)this is what i need to hear, thanks :)WRT the LCA, LKA discussion, i have LCA speced, as there is no other blind spot warning for the macan, and the blind spots are quite big. the tester car, beeped at me a few times in heavy trafic, but, it made me aware of something that until the beep, i had not noticed, it was either that, or the parking sensors were triggered somehow, but im pretty sure it was something in the blind spot being signalled.ok, i have lockdown in 1hr, this is me so-far, i'm going to have to negotiate a new day rate!.http://www.porsche.com/microsite/porsche-code/default.aspx?c=/PG1PRUF9for those saying ditch the SC, its on because its a 3rd driving mode, sounds great, pulls great, handles great. it might be rare in normal usage, but at £700, it does not break the bank.
