Two similarly priced 2019 macan s that I am looking at. Both have air suspension, 75l tank, pdls+

Car 1 has sport chrono, partial leather, 21" wheels, reverse camera

Car 2 has sport exhaust, comfort light, two tones leather (agate grey + pebble grey), 20" wheels, surround camera

Which one would you go with?
Would you pick SC over PSE / surround view camera

Thanks for the discussion.

Car 2 due to 20 rather than 21 wheels and surround camera but all these items are very much personal choices

Got links to both cars? I’ve just put a deposit down on a 2018 S so probably considered both of those. Definitely the pebble one if it’s at Dick Lovett OPC?

Car 2 for the smaller wheels (though not small enough for me...) and surround camera. I have the camera on mine and it adds confidence when parking.

For me sports chrono is nice because you get the clock on the dash, I I’ve used it maybe twice in nearly two years, therefore car two with the PSE is the one I would pick. I know mine is diesel, but I use the PSE every time I drive around town (too noisy on the motorway though)

Interesting to hear so far that everyone is going for 2nd one.

I think the dial on steering wheel that comes with SC is quite handy.

Another vote for Car 2, full leather, better interior, more comfortable and forgiving 20” wheels, surround view and PSE. The SC isn’t something you’ll miss apart from breaking up the dash 👍

Deffo car 2, full leather and surround view, plus the 20” wheels would sell it to me. I use my surround view so much that I would find it annoying with out it.

Car 2 too. Hardly ever use Sports Chrono (and I don't like/use the PSE!). Pluses for two-tone leather and surround camera (I'd miss it too if I didn't have it).

Car rides well on either 20 or 21inch wheels (I run both, 20s with winter tyres). You could always buy a set of 21s for summer use.......
