If you select the normal adaptive air suspension instead of gts suspension, will that effect the cars value and desirability for gts buyers when you come to sell it?

Good question. I suspect it will make it a bit harder to sell.

The answer to that question is unkown at the moment. If you're looking around what is likely to be the only second hand GTS on the forecourt, will you be able to spot that it's riding 10 mm higher? The only reliable way will be to ask for a copy of the build spec. My guess is most buyers will go for a test drive and either like the car or not. Of course, I've been wrong before and no doubt will be again :D

May do, may not do. I tend to specify cars for me, not for the next buyer.

Maybe the important element is to make sure that the settings will cover all your needs.

We've got rough roads in Essex so i chose 20" rims and air to get max comfort day to day.

The Sport Plus setting is still firm and provides plenty of feedback.

Comfort on low is lovely for long journeys and in practice we don't use Sport Plus much.

If you prefer it, why wouldn't the next owner? In the absence of a crystal ball please yourself and to hell with tomorrow!

but if on new GTS sport and sport plus settings so uncomfortable on UK roads unusable, those Gen3 GTS's with S air suspension may have greater value in UK

If off road high is selected, does that mean normal air suspension will raise Macan up higher than gts air suspension?

Posted this elsewhere as well

I’ve spoken to two journalists now who have reviewed and driven the GTS with the sports air suspension

Both have said it’s phenomenal with 21s, even on rough surfaces!

It’s not going to be a bad drive, it’s a Porsche!!!
