Thanks! My last 4 cars were silver, gray, silver, gray so it was time to break the pattern

Your photobucket pics can't be seen. You should try uploading your photos direct to BP. Make sure the images are in the 100 to 400bb file size.

Congrats on your new P-car.

There are browser plugins that can solve that problem

(for firefox at least)
But crapbucket is indeed the worst imagehost.

Daya · 03-17-2018, 06:19 PM

strange, seems like some people can see it and other cannot. How do I upload direct? I don't see anything when I try to edit the post

Click edit... then look at the top icon/buttons... use the "+" or "paper clip" button. You can upload direct to BP this way.

Or send me a link(to your photos) in a PM and I will do it for you.

Looking smoking hot. As already mentioned show us some interrior pix

I just love what Porsche did with their Macan.

Dackelone · 03-17-2018, 07:45 PM

Ok Daya I found your Photobucket links and uploaded the pics directly to BP. Most users should be able to see the pics now.

Again nice car! Btw... what does "Daya" mean ?

Wow, nice ride...I was actually just reading reviews of the Macan GTS as im considering it for my next car. How do you find the interior room up front?

Thanks Dackel! Photobucket was so slow this doesn't surprise me.

Definitely do multiple test drives with different options. I drove one with and without sport chrono and I'm glad I got sport chrono. I drive with the paddles most of the time but with sports chrono and sports plus activated and driving in automatic mode the throttle mapping and shift points are fairly aggressive and the throttle blips when coming to a stop are perfect. The air suspension and PASM is so dynamic for whatever your needs - comfort for rough roads in the city, sports plus aggressive canyon carving. I always have the ride height in the lowest position and will only raise it in heavy snow or driving "off road"

Front room is plentiful but I'm only 5'6" and my wife is 5' so you may need to see for yourself!

Thanks! Seriously, I was happy just to have Bluetooth and homelink transmitter - ha ha

But now that I have things like blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, heated steering wheel, front parking sensors, ventilated seats, heated rear seats, apple CarPlay, Sirius, SD slots and internal HD for music, full internet connectivity with PORSCHE apps, full suspension adjustability on the fly (PASM + AS), driving modes (sport chrono) it will be hard to give up these things later on

I wish it had a HUD, the analog speedometer, steeped in tradition is wasted dash space to be honest. I like having the analog tachometer front and center with digital speedometer, but the speedometer for daily driving is useless. The markings are every 25 MPH and each hash mark is 5 mph. Eventually I'll be able to feel and hear my speed but on quick glance you just know you're somewhere between 25-50, 50-75, etc

Blue with black wheels...exactly how I'd get it.

Congrats.
