Opinions needed on Macan S

[cmcm3]

Would be car 2 for me too. I just wouldn’t consider a Porsche without extended leather.

My gut feel is I would enjoy using the sport response button a lot although the full leather and surround view seems to give better value.

Ha ha.

Why!?

Barely use it on my 992 and that’s a sports car!

[bbpxbbpx]

Because never had it before and I do switch between sport and normal mode quite a bit with my current Macan so kind of looking forward to the dial switch on steering wheel.

Maybe you don't use it on 911 as the throttle response is sporty enough?

The surround view is useful but managed without it for 4 years.

You can still press the sport button on the centre consul. I have had both versions of SC and honestly only ever used S/Plus to experience it once or twice. Sport occasionally, but really the button on the steering wheel easier? Yes, but not a deal breaker either way. The bigger issue is partial leather which would assume is black? v full in Pebble and Agate both very different interiors, also 20” v 21” again I’ve had and like both, the 20” gives the better ride/feel although many on here would only insist on 21” What are your preferences here?

[bbpxbbpx]

My preference is 20" too but never had 21 before.
I worry a bit about keeping the pebble grey interior immaculate too.

I worry a bit about keeping the pebble grey interior immaculate too.

I had the Pebble/Agate Grey interior on my SD which I kept for five years from new. With no more than an occasional wipe with a Wickes Leather Wipe it stayed virtually as good as new. Obviously there were a few creases at the end because I had 18 way seats and the bolsters crease a bit but overall I was pleasantly surprised at how well the interior lasted.

The full leather interior looks more like the interior you would expect for a car in the Macan price range. I now expect a whole load of posts from members happy with partial leather or the standard interior. It's all about choices.

It is surprising that not a single fellow member recommended car 1. So pretty united on this front

Also, the sport plus button can be retro fitted by Porsche, this will give you all the functionality of sport chrono without the clock on the dash. So car 2 could be fitted with it as part of the deal?

We had the Mrs 981s with pebble and agate for 7 years and it still looked good.
