Very nice. Close to my build. I chose different wheels + carbon fiber interior pieces; no roof rails. What brand of tires did it come with?

Our 2022 GTS finished its build early Dec. 2021 with electric steering column & black GT 22" wheels. Fortunate

Just got my "Loyalty" price discount voucher of $500, for something I didn't need anyway.
Yeah, it's not a big deal for me either so I'll take the $500 off.

Picked up today. Here are a few pics I snapped at a friend's house (had to stop by to show it). Going in Monday for Tint, PPF and Ceramic. So happy w/ the color it's better in person that I ever expected, you don't appreciate the metallic until it's in the sun.

At about 80 miles on the odometer we got this message. The code was for cylinder bank 2 lean condition. Drove it to the dealer who said they have seen this in the past 6 months on several V6 Macans. Apparently, according to them, Porsche is supposed to release a software update for this issue. The cleared the code and so far it has not recurred.

Currently at the detailer getting front window tint, PPF, and ceramic done. "Toughest hood in the business" is what my guy said.

Just curious. Did your Macan GTS arrive with a powered steering column?

Nope. It was built the 3rd week of January. We got the voucher for $500 off the purchase. So far it's fine w/o it. The auto-exit seat feature allows us to clear the steering wheel no problem when getting out. My wife and I are both 5'8" and medium build.

Tires are Pirelli Scorpions. I hate Pirellis, I have never had a good experience with a set of them on any car. Oh well.

The only things I did on the interior was extended leather w/ deviated stitching (also gets you matching seat belts) and a Porsche crest on the center console. Sportchrono too (I know pointless on an SUV, but it gets you Launch control, and I do like the clock). I didn't do the GT steering wheel b/c in the showroom one I sat in, for me, it blocked the gauges. If I had done the GT wheel I would have done matching carbon fiber dash accents b/c I think the GT wheel looks weird w/o them since it has CF on the button areas.

This popped up on my 991.2 with ~16k miles on it. Took to dealer who said the code was for a lifter. He said it happens periodically, usually an over sensitive sensor(??). He reset and said to come back if it returns. So far, so good - fingers crossed!
