Porsche TV+ is essential if you live in an area that gets any snow. The rear locking diff can be the difference of being stuck, or not being stuck in deep snow.
The Sport Response Button in the center of the mode switch in itself is the reason you would want sport chrono package. Twenty seconds of instant power and responsiveness for those sticky situations where you might need it. I use my dial switch several times everyday can't imagine not having it makes the experience so much more fun!
Nice spec. I think my 2021 has the matrix headlights you mentioned in the video. If it didn't come standard with PSCB, I think I would have chosen PCCB. The😢18 way seats are incredible. I have the 20" gloss black wheels and went safe with Volcano Grey. Enjoy the GT heated steering wheel as well.
12:52 I believe you can have power steering plus added subsequently. As you say, it’s a piece of software, so if you spec it and decide to remove it surely you can add it again?
Great vid. I have a question. I have porsche 911 and now I'm thinking of getting a car with more seats. I'm thinking Macan S (2022), Cayenne coupe S, and Panamera Sport Turisumo. Which one would you recommend and why? Thanks!
I have a macan s in white and it looks ok, but I can say living in sunny Queensland Australia I really did not want a sunroof but it came with the car. The sports chrono package just looks fantastic. Great review.
Nice spec. We went for Night blue with the sportdesign kit and 21 turbo wheels, alongside the light interior. Crayon was a bit too marmite for us. Sportdesign was a must as not a fan of standard turbo front end
I can’t wait to scoop one of these in 5-6 years off of one of the rich people here looking to actually buy this car spec’d out from the dealership new lol. After this video there will be a few hundred exactly like this one now and he did a great job honestly. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does this for a living on commercials.
Yes Porsche charges for alot of those little things you probably do not even need. Try driving with Lane assist it makes a sound that your off the roads lines I mean do I need that all the time no. Porsche are designed for the pure driving experience not for all those little tech gizmos man. CRXs are purely mechanical and functional but its the driving that matters no cup holders no bs just driving same here buddy. Remember that!!
Why would you buy a new car if you’re speccing it for someone else? If it isn’t to make it exactly how you like it, it makes no sense to buy a new one.
That‘s for the people who lease the car and don‘t want to own it the proper way. At this price range tons of „owners“ are driving the car for 2-4 years until a new cycle is coming.
GTS is my pick. You are driving an SUV, it is not a 911. I continue to be amazed at how many options are standard equipment in the states. I would feel that Porsche is sticking it to me by charging me for every little item in the car.
You can’t put a price on your own safety or that of your loved ones, I would opt for LKAS, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise and a 360 camera...soooo important; the host however then proceeded to talk about the more pricey sound system; for me, there’s just no comparison...just sayin’
AFTERMARKET WHEELS, gloss black = shiny plastic 😄 blue leather with white pops future, sunroof = sweat box in South USA , paying for reverse camera an insult on car this class .
Agree with most of this spec. I've thought about PCCB on our next one. Basing my logic on them being blingtastic and speccing from build slot makes them a bargain. In a kind of man maths way... Not bothered about sport chrono on a Macan. Sport mode is sporty enough plus the chap at the PEC showed how to launch without it. Like those wheels.... Ours has the soft lighting in the foot well and around the mirror which is a nice touch.
I'd never special-order a Porsche just trying to think what a future buyer might want/like -- that's just absurd. If you can afford to waste mountains of money on a mere SUV like this (especially with your absurdly expensive and totally unnecessary options like 21-inch wheels that actually look worse than 19-inch wheels to me, on the absurd side), you shouldn't be worried about resale price! I mean, seriously, dude... This car comes pretty loaded without a single option; if I were going to spend this kind of money on a 4-door Porsche, I'd go for a Cayenne Coupe E-Hybrid or a Panamera, for way more fun and more hp/torque. Yes, you are in Cayenne Coupe/Panamera territory with the pricing you have for this Macan GTS, which is just insane for a Macan -- the low model in Porsche's line. I'd just add ACC and probably not much else, to keep costs from being totally obscene. Porsche is laughing all the way to the bank with your options. You won't get your money back on all these options; you're delusional if you think you can...
Its mostly preference. I like them in the stock color Grey brushed aluminum look. 21 inch is a perfect size for this Macan. I have seen people putting in 22 inch and they look very sick but you have to deal with more bumps and a bit more noise on the road. Everything is compromises man when you make changes so choose wisely!!
It'll be a MY2022 Macan BEV, and the word is that there'll be a Macan E-Hybrid introduced at the same time; both will be much better than any GTS Macan, with much more hp and torque, and way more fun to drive.
So the idea of buying Porsches is to sell them not long enough after the purchase? i see why used luxury cars have such affordable prices, because the idiots who buy them spent all their money buying a car from idiots who dont care about them. so this is what luxury cars are all about
I would add the lane change assist monitor as a safety feature for blind spots while driving. Good video.

Agree with most, but I think you should have gotten the radar cruise
Plus it adds the auto braking if you get a bit side tracked and come up on someone.
Have you thought about using indicators while driving, other drivers would love you for it😏
Nice spec. I think my 2021 has the matrix headlights you mentioned in the video.
If it didn't come standard with PSCB, I think I would have chosen PCCB.
The😢18 way seats are incredible.
I have the 20" gloss black wheels and went safe with Volcano Grey.
Enjoy the GT heated steering wheel as well.
vented seats and heated windshield are good choices also. Wish or hope they come out with a turbo gts. Love my Macan GTS
Excellent excellent video. I’ve got a ‘17 Macan S looking to get the new turbo in the near future really needed this video
Could you do a spec advise for the new Porsche Taycan 4S?
12:52 I believe you can have power steering plus added subsequently. As you say, it’s a piece of software, so if you spec it and decide to remove it surely you can add it again?
Great vid. I have a question. I have porsche 911 and now I'm thinking of getting a car with more seats. I'm thinking Macan S (2022), Cayenne coupe S, and Panamera Sport Turisumo. Which one would you recommend and why? Thanks!
Comfort lighting ? Surround view camera ?
He gave his opinion on the surround camera.
I have a macan s in white and it looks ok, but I can say living in sunny Queensland Australia I really did not want a sunroof but it came with the car. The sports chrono package just looks fantastic. Great review.
The Macan Turbo looks amazing. My daily drive is the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, I was going to get the Macan but the Cayenne size was what I needed.

Silly question but you specced this car, is it not cheaper to buy direct form Porsche as you add your mark up ?
depends if you want an early car so many people want the latest and greatest especially in London
Really useful video on the desirable spec to look for on a Macan. Just placed a deposit on your Macan GTS which has a lovely spec, so thanks.

All the safety features that can be had on a regular Honda Accord, the hosts says too expensive add ons for Porshe, seriously!

I would start with the GTS and spec it with the 14k€ price difference than the Turbo.
Yes absolutely. I think even the normal S can be specced similar but come out a bit cheaper.
Why would you buy a new car if you’re speccing it for someone else? If it isn’t to make it exactly how you like it, it makes no sense to buy a new one.
Its if your not planning on keeping it and if youbwant a quick resale.
Resale value; so that you can sell it sell it quicker and upgrade to the new high spec model

Dumb comment. Resale. Duh.

Yes but what about the stereo?
No sports exhaust?
It’s standard I believe.
Love the color scheme. I have the Levante and was thinking about going to the Porsche Panamera.
Cool. Thanks for your input. Yes the Maserati noise is great. Attention grabber for sure.
i would spec for matt black..the gloss black and white combo is too shiny for me
is there a HUD ( head up display ) ?

Virtual cockpit isn't available
Nice spec. I’d have gone with grey handles and body colour side blades. White dials / chrono as well
Silver paint has a wow effect
Is this the UK version of the "chalk" colour we get here in Canada?
Yeah same colour
I just wanted to hear the exhaust engine!!!
Great review, the only thing I found strange in this video is the exaggerated swaying of the host when he was sat down early on in the video.
Believe PASM is standard on the Turbo even if you don’t have Air Suspension
Air suspension is a must
Great report and summary, found it extremely helpfull.
Beautiful Motor but I think Volcano Grey is a much better colour.
Amazing....Radar cruise control was standard on my wife's $20K Toyota Corolla
Old fashion girl need CD player do you know if is available ?
Cruise control is a must here in the US.
You can’t put a price on your own safety or that of your loved ones, I would opt for LKAS, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise and a 360 camera...soooo important; the host however then proceeded to talk about the more pricey sound system; for me, there’s just no comparison...just sayin’
My exact spec but I would spec sport f + r apron
The hatch Curve & Angle makes the car Very Dignified, Specially the Widths, Heights & Lengths are differently decided..camparing with others..,
Great vid and great taste, Do a CLA45 AMG please!
Exclusively designed Anatomy & Proportions in every inch, Looks like a "Curved Solid LadyBond"
Adaptive cruise control is critical
Love how a roof rack can give a car agression😂😂😂
It is. Such an illuminating profile on the Turbo
AFTERMARKET WHEELS, gloss black = shiny plastic 😄 blue leather with white pops future, sunroof = sweat box in South USA , paying for reverse camera an insult on car this class .

Really love your spec vids!
Greetings jeroen from holland
I loooove the Macan, BUT the 2020 GLC 63 is something else 🤤
Something else on depreciation too! I looked at both but went for the Macan because the depreciation on the GLC made me sick.
Nick Sinclair what depreciation tool did you use?

Mercs feel cheap compared to Porsche...
Great spec, but mine includes all the options you didn’t go with, except the Burmester sound system and PCCBs #dealbreakers
Wonderful spec, I just don’t like the black door handles.
I went completely opposite spec and color scheme.
Enjoy these vids. Good work.
Great video
Grey color would be better i think

Beautiful car .. I'll choose this over the GLC and X4
Those are the ugliest wheels that this model offers, and you making spec vids 🤦♂️
It looks nice wdym?
As he said, it's personal preference.

Who else got their eyes on the 2021 Electric Macan?
It'll be a MY2022 Macan BEV, and the word is that there'll be a Macan E-Hybrid introduced at the same time; both will be much better than any GTS Macan, with much more hp and torque, and way more fun to drive.
cba tiau wow thanks for the info
Unless you are specing this for a rich 19 (and not 40) years old kid with money, not to take the radar cruise control ?! Get out of here. !
Good review
Not sure which one my husband 😲 got me however I know ill be happy 💃🏽🕺🏼
Thanks hunny 😃 I deserve my Porsche 🥴😜🤪

Hate one-handed drivers, nasty
no radar and safety stop ... for those crash for cash ,,,,
👌👌👌 👀✔️

from Porsche.
strange taste on car...
no offence but that will never sell without new wheels and a wrap
Air suspension = breaks and breaks and breaks all the time
Shit wheel choice
Scheiss Karre mit Audi Motor !
