Withy Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Looks quite tasty.. doesn't look like all digital dash, but does have an array of haptic buttons on the centre console. Liking that wheel design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MH82 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Tempted by the GTS. might be the only weirdo that’s been trying to choose between a GR Yaris, Lotus Emira, Macan and 718 Spyder….. had my GR Yaris deposit refunded, deposit down on the Emira, but keeping leaning towards a second porsche. Sensible head says Macan. Silly head (and lack of availability) says Spyder. And then there’s the Emira…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MH82 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Can’t have the vented seats with alcantara - not sure you need them with non-leather anyway, though do like them in the 911. rear view camera could be a consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withy Posted July 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Lovely spec, not a million miles away from what we spec’d on a 2020 one which we love. Really surprised Sport Chrono not std now as it is in other markets driver memory seats really not used in ours, and a bit weird if I’m honest as you seem to have to hold in the ‘1’ or ‘2’ until it moves stuff to end state. I think if I did over I might add roof rails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1flyguy Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Odd the GTS model has no option for the 75ltr tank, you think you would need it more 🤣 Also choosing one on the wheel options alters the ‘interior’ config!!! Seems a little FUBAR IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMA Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Looks nice apart from the haptic buttons :( I hate those things having to take your eyes off the road to know what to press instead of doing it by touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I decide to trade in it will be for the next 8/9 years until EV’s and it’s network have had chance to ‘evolve’ My current Macan I’ve had for nearly 5 years & bought used, so 8/9 years for a Macan I spec is no hardship to own long term. Also my Macan is in for yet another warranty repair with a backlog on the part so I’m without it for 2 weeks+ so I’m getting somewhat disillusioned with it to be honest!!

This is the final ice macan they have said so will be sold along side the new ev model until sales start to dip then it will be discontinued. I think.it will sell well for that reason. All they keep saying is the next gen of ev cars will have more range and faster charging etc etc , so like you i will leave untill the very end? Motorbikes will cease ice sales in 2035 its been announced too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 I must be in a minority. This latest model , and the previous models, are nice cars, probably great cars and I have sat in them at OPC"s and thought - yeah - nice place to be and I see what people like, and I have never driven a Macan - but personally - I just can't get excited by this market segment. If I won one - I would keep it - unlike some of the alternatives. Good that we all like different things and for sure it's a Porsche - so scores points, but I don't reckon I will be buying one.

MH82 Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 So Emira deposit has now been returned to me, 911 sold (available at RSJ if anyone is interested) and I’m now enquiring as to lead time on this. Think I’ve finally ticked all that I want to on the options list…… http://www.porsche-code.com/PN3FQEM0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
