Geared for luxury

updated. decided to skip burmester because its an extra $5000 for only a few hundred more watts of power

Make it easy for us...send a link, not the code.

Luxury normally means quiet exhaust.

$600 for the 19" wheels will significantly upscale the look of the car. Are you sure you want 18 way seats and not 14 way? Have you sat in both? For a daily, the pano roof is a no brainer for me personally. Why sport exhaust and thermally/noise insulating glass? You are cancelling out the $3K sport exhaust with the glass. Want thermal insulation, get it ceramic tinted yourself after for $300-$400. If you want quiet, drop the sport exhaust. Are you sure you want LKA and not LCA? LKA jerks the wheel if the car thinks you are drifting out of lane. LCA is blind spot warning. LCA is much more useful. You sure you want to take out your key and stick it into the dash every time by skipping Entry & Drive? Don't know where you live but ventilated seats are a godsend in Texas. Smoking package doesn't mean it's only for smokers, it gives you a little door that goes over that cubby square in front of the cupholders and it's free.

oops, I made a mistake,. will update things soon. yes I meant LCA. also I agree with the sports exhaust - ill take it off. also the pano roof adds like 100lbs to the top of the car I think? just wanted to mix a little better performance there while saving money but ill consider it.

Personally, I would skip the running boards (they are useless) and Sport Chrono (you won't use it much) and add some better wheels.

rasetsu

Great point. Sport chrono is pretty pointless on a configuration focused on luxury. I have a GTS and sport mode alone is plenty. I've only used sport plus a handful of times. Money would be much better spent on slightly larger wheels and Entry and Drive.

SillyGoose

Hmm good tips. Pretty glad i posted here because i am legit saving money here by getting rid of unnecessary options.

im about 5'7 and figured running board would make ingress and egress even more convenient but youre right, its kind of a nonsense option for 125p

no auto-dimming mirrors
can't type a question mark for some reason lol...
or are they standard now
and maybe get ventilated seats

For some reason I cant see your Porsche code....I have to say VENTILATED SEATS for the win!

We love them!

If you’re gearing for luxury, look at Premium Package Plus, or Premium Package at a minimum. You’ll get most everything at a better value than a la carte.

I’m with the others. Ditch the running boards and Sport Chrono. Thermal glass or PSE, but not both.

Seats are a personal choice. Best to take them for a drive before deciding.

• 19” Macan Design Wheels are standard, but you selected the 18” wheels. I would stick with the 19” wheels.
• Added Premium Package Plus
• Added Mojave Beige Seatbelts, and Sport Chrono background in Mojave Beige to dress up the interior
• Added heated steering wheel
• Removed the running boards

On the GTS, Sport Chrono isn't and expensive option and it ("Individual") saves having to press 3 buttons every time you want to set sport/comfort/PSE off (which would be every time I start the suv). For the Macan S if you aren't getting air suspension and PSE, I'd skip it too.

Here are a few things that we have seen since our purchase...AND your code pulled up!

MY thoughts only:

1. Glass is nice to have but NOT a necessity...save yourself the $1k and have it tinted...you may ask why? Just have a reputable shop do that and keep the savings!
2. Surround View...very nice to have and if you like it then go for it!
3. LCA....not sure how this pans out in the new Macans but we have it on our car and it is a nice safety feature. HOWEVER, if it is going to give you the feedback from the steering wheel DITCH it.....LCA was an option for us when we ordered it from the factory.
4. Seats....personal pref so go with what you like.
5. Heated seats....tough one to answer but I LOVE them in ours but SERIOUSLY look at the ventilate seats. Probably our BEST OPTION for comfort and driving around town and on trips. The Ventilated seats are great for us and we won't get another vehicle w/o them.
6. Get the most up to date PCM system. I would pass on the upgraded Burmeister system if you are leaning that way.
7. As others have stated....look at the packages and see what you like and you may end up spending less depending on what you go with.

Options I love :

1. We got PTV and Sport Chrono.....do I love em......personally and honestly we have never used Sport Chrono unless showing someone that wants to see it. PTV? for hitting the offramps at speed it MAY give you some benefits but we have not notice that. I will say when I drive the Macan, it is a nice thing to have because I am "that guy" that pushes it. However, our Macan is my wife's DD and she could care less so I would delete that from your options if you were considering it.

2. VENTILATED SEATS!!!!!!!!

Hope this helps.
