Default 2024 Macan GTS Order


Just ordered a 2024 Macan GTS with the new pricing. The schedule shows delivery in August, but I think that is optimistic.
Comments on the build, I have until June for changes.

To start with Papaya.
And the options make it a real driver's car.

We have a nearly identical build 2022 GTS in Papaya. I regret getting the the thermally insulated glass, it makes my radar detector and toll passes a PITA. Burmeister does not sound as good as I had hoped, but its way better than Bose which sounds terrible on the Macan (I think the Macan interior has poor acoustics in general b/c Bose sounds amazing on my Panamera). PSCB brakes are amazing, zero brake dust.

Personally I would hesitate on the Exterior package in exterior color. I have seen a GTS with this and in Papaya it looks washed out. Papaya looks good with black accents to make it look more dark orange, without it, to me, the Papaya color starts to look pink-ish or peach in color.

Nice build. I personally don't care for noise/thermal glass as I prefer to just have tint done to match the rears since the front windows are still just as transparent with the glass. And make sure you have sat in the different seats before choosing.

Default Very Nice !!! I have your kissing cousin on order for my wife

Her GTS is the exact same build except it's a MY 23, no Burmester or thermal glass and different wheels.

Currently have 14 ways configured but we are going to get some seat adjustment time in 18 ways before we finalize the build or her GTS.

We are meeting with sales guy on Monday to close up shop.

Love the build and color combination. As someone who had a Porsche with the Thermo and Insulated glass BEWARE. Problems with toll pass, cell phone reception, etc. never again for that option.

I want to thank everyone for the advice on the Thermo and Insulated glass option.
I will remove it from the build. You saved me a big potential problem.

Never had issues with thermal glass but I dont have a non thermal class car to compare so not sure how much it is helping.

I have thermal glass in my 22GTS and have no issue with cell phone reception. Regarding ezpass toll transmitters, haven't used yet but have to ask if thermal glass is included in windshield? Regarding Burmester, it sounds awesome in the Macan at all volume levels, you will love it.

I have Thermal on my 2023 GTS - never had any issues with toll or cell reception. I also had it on my prior two Panamera's and had no issues there either. I use toll road regularly (Fast Pass - S. Cal) and phone on my 120 mile round trip commute from San Juan Capistrano to San Diego.

yeah this is a big bust -- if you plan on tinting your car, it would not be advised at all.
good choice in removing
