Some of the same ol stuff but they were conflicted. Smaller displacement and fairly unexciting engine (though they called the engine objectively great). Should be faster (though they said you don’t need it). If they bought a Macan they said they would get the S not the Turbo. Nothing “Turbo” about the Macan “Turbo.” They said if Porsche would have told them it was the S they would have believed it.

It’s hard for me to justify trading in the 3.6L for a 2.9L personally, even though I’m looking for a new car.

Thanks. I have already ordered it, I hope not to regret it.

With all due respect, did I read the price right and this for an SUV?

What does it matter if it is or not a SUV?
It is a car, a perfect car for me and my lifestyle.

You are still under warranty and the higher torque of that motor is more, so I would keep what you have. Our 2015 was out of warranty and I hate keeping the daily drivers outside warranty as any repair is a fortune....

New screen and car play are awesome but not enough to justify a move here...

That is a highly optioned Macan Turbo! This is even more optioned than ours but also european pricing is alot more than the US. Here is our, MSRP of $110K USD

Was just thinking for that price he could get a nicely equipped 992 4S or a..but not an Urus... so to each his/her own which is why there are always more boxes to check.

BTW always wondered what a Miami/red combo would look like; sweet! Rims look great alas I couldn't order anything over 19" nor PCCB/ceramic brakes given where I live

We ended up getting the PCCB's as the cost of the upgrade was less than our GT3! For $4,660 it is worth it as one brake replacement in steel costs more than this. Not sure under normal driving that we will ever wear out the PCCB's so long term we will save! Plus they look better than the white calipers!

Just checked, replacement surface coated rotors are $3250 for front and 2695 for rear!
