Lol not sure I agree with that one either. I loved all the spec on my GTS, all the additional bits you get and then I added other things I liked as well that are not on any base macan to make it unique to me.DJMCUK wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 1:24 pmWhat you've done is created your own pizza S by taking the basic one and adding the toppings you like.Skyway wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 1:10 pmBut I also have things not in your list like ACC, 14 way seats ( don’t like the Sports ones), body coloured rear spoiler, heated windscreen, blind spot monitoring, Bose and some more I can’t remember. All came in less than a GTS.sd1985 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 11:28 am
when I specced an S with exactly all of those things I wanted that are standard on a GTS I got to more than the £71k the base GTS costs. Came to £74.9k to be exact. Hence my point around better just getting a GTS at that point as the differences with all those additionals are not marginal for me.
I simply wouldn’t buy a macan at that price point without these things, whether they are cosmetic or not.
Our S also has the things we like, 14-ways, BOSE, coloured side blades, pepperoni, green peppers, and came in at right around £70k retail when new.
A GTS is more like a shop bought pizza with pineapple and olives which you resent having paid for as you'll never eat them.

I would go for a GTS anyday.
With my own Must Haves the Confuserator comes in just under £80k.
The only standard GTS fitment that I would not be bothered with would be the PSE

For me, the difference between my spec S and a GTS with the same additional options, is +£3.5k for the GTS, and as I don’t want the stiffer GTS suspension, nor the front grill, I’m happy to stick with my S

Due to both having the 2.9 engine and the GTS having a little bit more spice, I would say they are both Fillet steak and the GTS has a side order of peppercorn sauce

This thread makes a nice change from Macan S v Macan T
My budget would only stretch to an optioned to my liking Macan "T" , I actually bought a 4 month old "S" which had the options I wanted plus a few more for the price of the "T".
Having owned the "S" for six months , if my long lost uncle left me £50k , would I swop it for a GTS, not very likely ,although I would be tempted to get a "new" S plus or minus a few of the options on my current car.

Not at all I love it

The GTS is a great car but imo it doesn’t run onion rings around the S

I reckon the Macan Turbot was a better drive than the GTS.
