GTS as daily driver

The only thing that I can add is that it depends on the seats. I had basic sports seats in an “S” and it was a totally fine DD. In my GTS I have Sports Buckets and it is a crappy DD. And it isn’t about being limber (I could stand up right now, lean forward and touch my palms to the floor), it is just a drag getting in and out of over and over when doing DD type of activities. Maybe if I drove it to work and back it would be fine, but thats not the typ eof DD I do.

I'll trade you my sports adaptive seats for your sport buckets!

I had no idea the prices of these have been climbing this high. I have a guards red, sand beige leather, w/aero kit 2011 GTS.
I love the CL's and the way the car drives. I never tracked it, but my DD is a 2013 Cayenne GTS that's Carmine Red, that's pretty close to its twin.

As much as I'd love to have the aerokit on my GTS - I don't think the lip would survive DD duty or winters

Hate those center lock wheels !
Supposed to speed up tire change in the pits. Guaranteed to be screwed up if you ever visit a tire shop to service your wheels. I needs special grease, applied to specific thread areas, torque down to exact values, then loosen it to be torque down again to make sure its seated correctly. I guarantee you having sleepless nights wondering if the procedure was done correctly fearing that a wheel will come off in the middle of freeway cruiising.

I did like the fact that the wheel lips on my car were also powder coated and not silver, and the CL locks are red. Nicely executed from the previous owner.

Man, a few years ago I’d have been all over your offer. But my wife had an Audi S3 and I bought her a Macan GTS for X-mas so the S3 is now my DD. My GTS is now my weekend/track fun car, and for that purpose the Sports Buckets are magical. I ordered my GTS and my sales guy told me to spec the buckets b/c if I hated them I’d have no problem breaking even on an exchange (thet were about a $4 K option at the time). BTW, the Macan GTS is an exceptional car/SUV. It wants to be a 911 so bad. My wife is so enamored with it that she wants to take it to the track!
