Not much to go on…. buying? Budget?

Here is a repost and if your budget is £40k, don’t waste your time find a Macan Turbo with Performance Pack, Pano Roof and the Special Turbo Interior Package. People hold on to them for a reason, best Macan made of any Generation. Gold dust..

Had a New GTS Series 2 then a New S Series 3, basically the same engine. Didn’t really gel with either, had 1 with 21” and Air Suspension didn’t like the feel at all, floaty, and I had one with 20” and standard steel spring Suspension, way better feel. Had given up on Macan until I used a mates Gen 1 Turbo with Performance Pack over last Christmas. Wow what a revelation, GTS on Steroids or Macan Turbo S if they would have built one. Rumour is that was the plan but some issue with Ceramic Brakes at the same time. Very short production run, supposedly only 120 UK cars, but find one of those, best Macan ever built. I bought one and it’s a keeper. Seems to be a rule, 20” without Air Suspension or 21” with Air Suspension. 21” without Air Suspension seem to be a tough ride and would imagine a tougher resale proposition.

Something like this,

Very good ,I have one as a daily .
Fuel consumption is its only weakness .If it’s going to be an only car then probably worth spending extra for gts or turbo (budget dependant ) but just for a daily runaround the s is more than sufficient .

Really, if you just wanted a daily runaround, a Honda Jazz would do the job very ably.
