Sports Exhaust, or not

If it makes a slightly more pleasant experience when seeing that petrol pump go to £90+ for a refill then its money well spent IMO. Plus its £16 more expensive as a post build accessory.

Great spec with the sole exception of the fuel cap. £98 for something you'll only see when you open the flap to fuel the car seems OTT to me (but each to his own).

I had a similarly well crafted fuel cap on the Aston. Granted I probably had to open that more regularly than will likely be the case with the Macan, but to me it's one of those nice little touches that make you feel good about a car.

I concur.

Thanks all. Threw in a few extra trinkets and ended up with Porsche Code: http://www.porsche-code.com/PNHK9BS1

Terrible spec

You have missed the single best option ….. heated steering wheel.

Include that and imo you then have a pretty perfect spec.

Roughly £120 for a full tank at today’s prices if you have upgraded to 75 litre fuel tank and fill up at shell/bp.

Yep, definitely picked the wrong time to buy an horrendously uneconomical 4x4.

Never really seen much point in a heated wheel. The car will be kept in a garage and we live on the South coast rather than the frozen North

If it is driven hard then he/she will see the cap a lot !

Sorted. PSE doesn't make anything like as much difference as I'd imagined so I've ditched it. The side blades will however, imho, look much better in the body colour than the 3D effect. They look okay on black or volcano grey, but not for me on the blue.

Two very wise decisions in my opinion

Totally agree.

I will say the new 2.9 engine sounds generally sportier and louder than the 3ltr anyway (based on minimal test drives of both), so I think that makes the difference between PSE and standard a bit smaller on the Gen 3's

It is the nicer sounding Audi engine but can be made even better with sports exhaust

I had PSE and Porsche filler cap on my 2019 Macan S gen2
IMHO, standard exhaust is sub-optimal, the PSE should be the standard.
The filler cap on the other hand was nice, and totally unnecessary.
