How hard are door top plastics? (or Burmester vs Extended leather)

[ultrabelse]

Couldn’t agree more, extended leather makes it feel like a luxury car. It should really be standard - without it feels cheaper than a Porsche should IMO

Unless you’re an audiophile you won’t regret not spending so much money on a Burm sound system for the car. Buy it for the house instead!

I have the extra leather bits on dashboard, centre console etc but not top of doors. We have a very well behaved Cockapoo dog and the thought of leather across the top of the doors fills me with horror on the rare occasion he might jump up.

Extended leather with contrasting stitching is the way forward. My old Macan S had been damaged by the previous owner who shut the seat belt buckle in the door and damaged the leather on the door card. It was easily fixed by a leather specialist, I don’t think plastic could be repaired in this way.

It's hard to justify an extra £1450.00 for the contrasting stitching , although it does look very smart.

I have black and pebble and this gives contrast on top of doors and dashboard where you see it

I'm also very happy with extended leather and the standard audio. At the end of the day, it's just a car - not a concert hall.

Ah well, there I might have to disagree :p I'd love to be in a concert hall twice a day - ideally performing, but listening is a good second.

But I'm now stealing myself for disappointment as having found my perfect configuration I doubt they'll get a build in before the new manufacturing year.

Yes , same here, spoke to the SE yesterday. I'm No 5 on their waiting list and their next allocations are for June & July but they only get about 2 a month if they're lucky. I could be No3 as they have two " probables but not definitely" so I'll have to wait and see.
If the increase is 4% my Macan is going to be circa £70k, had a quick look at an Audi Q5 edition 1 and save myself £20k but unfortunately I really want a Macan.

I’m in similar boat, coming back to SUV from Audi S3 and nothing comes close to Macan in the same segment, Audi Q3/5 a bit boring, Merc downright ugly and BMW although great cars, I just don’t like that huge grill.

My MB was in for an MOT last week and I had a good look at the new GLC , inside was OK but way too much chrome on the outside, they do a Black Edition in the EU and it looked really smart. Also went next door to Audi but no Q5 in the showroom. The Edition 1 has leather and Black pack and I am tempted.
