New Macan Ordered

[Cheib]

Nice! If you're waiting that long you should go PTS!....didn't realise you could on a Macan til I saw a PTS car at my local OPC.

I really like the look of the Macan so had a sit in one the other week. They are tiny inside, I am six foot one and pretty normal build, with the driver's seat set up for me there was no leg room in the back. That would be a deal breaker for me.

Yes they are small inside. I'm 6ft3 and definitely not abnormal bike and no, no one can sit behind me apart from on very short trips so I can see why that would be a deal breaker. Luckily I have two other 5 seat cars and can count on one hand the number of times I've had to take more then 3 people in the car with me in the last year. So thought for 90% of the time I'd have the better driving car.

My spec is 85k so basically ffrr money. But the residuals are so much better so works out a lot cheaper

Amazingly the oldest vehicle in the Porsche range, must be due a update soon? Great car non the less, enjoy......

I really fancied one but like you both once I sat in it I realised just not big enough being just over 6ft....which is why I have a Cayenne on order. That won't have great residuals especially given the box ticking frenzy but fk it nice to get exactly what you want!

I'm six foot two and there's plenty of room in the back of ours for the kids?

Picking it up Tuesday . Life's to short to leave it sitting in the dealers over Xmas . It'll be changed for something sportier soon as the Sun comes back out so probably 4/5 months tops .

1st Impressions .... Brakes are impressive, calipers are noticeably bigger , and it sounds nice ( albeit inside garage )

Rest is standard turbo

I was faced with the same dilemma, my new gts turned up at my opc last Monday... it's now sat in our garage all dirty and I have a big smile on my face.

Box ticking. Don't know what you're talking about!

Do the back seats move backwards and forwards? Perhaps they were set right forward.

Never checked!

I'm sure they used to move in our last cayenne. Will check in the morning for you.

Vid from what is presumably the same testing event

Nice fruity exhaust sounds near the start of the vid!

Just picked mine up . 1st impression are suspension is much improved over Turbo. Exhaust note is good but not OTT . Obviously haven't put my foot down yet as only 25m on it ....

Love the look of that. I have a Turbo PP arriving in March, also in Volcano grey but with the smaller 20" spyders.

What are your thoughts on the connect plus? Have you tried the SatNav yet? I find the routes on the previous PCM are terrible even with the normal connect link to give traffic updates via your phone.

Any shots from the side that show the enlarged brakes?

[GT3cs]

Not great photos but this one kind of shows calliper and disc size ...

Ref wheels : I nearly went Spyders . Wish they did that style in 21" and a little dishing .

Ref Nav : I haven't used it in anger but seems much quicker from demo and whole infotainment system is much better .

Need to get it run in ASAP !
