Re: Possible new Macan owner - £40k budget - what to get!

Update: went to view the Macan S at RSJ but did not drive it. I did however have a test ride in an older Macan GTS which certainly had some drama to it.

Gts perhaps being more of a...

Thanks all. Went to a porsche dealer just to get a feel of size etc and test drove a 24 plate GTS, was epic! cant help but think i might be a little disappointed going to a 20 plate S but they didnt have any Macans in budget at my local dealer. Will likely travel to one of the 2 porsche dealers that...
