Is Porsche Torque Vectoring plus a deal breaker?
I am thinking of buying a 2017 GTS. I noticed that it doesn't have PTV+ and PDLS head lights. Should I find one with these options or not? But, it does have a lot of the options that I like. I am new to the Macan so I don't know how important the PDLS and PTV+ options are. Anybody's thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

PDLS is cool but I don't think you will miss it if you don't have it. The PTV+ was invented for the 911 an you really don't need it on the Macan. What I do think one should look for is the PDCC, now that I feel comes in handy on a vehicle with some height.
I just picked up a 958 Cayenne with, PDCC, PTV+ and burmester. out of all those items I'm not noticing the PTV+.

My experience with PTV comes from my TT and a BMW X5M. If it works on the Macan, like these two cars, it helps make the car feel more nimble as it allows power to be put down differently on each side during corner. Makes a big difference in the X5M.
Not a deal breaker but might add some sportiness.

Not necessary. I've tracked ours and I ran out of brake before I ran out of grip. The car is amazing without it. I doubt most buyers will ever find its limits.

PTV+ is great, but not necessary. It helps with getting around the bends, but the GTS is still enjoyable to toss around without it.
PDLS makes sense when you have roads that necessitate it. Like with hills, canyons, or mountains. IMHO, then it is a must. Otherwise, not really necessary.
