Default New to Me '24 GTS PTS

Officially the 3rd Pcar in the stable but the first Macan for us. It is for the better half but I wanted to be able to enjoy driving it when she isnt. CPO with 900 miles, tint, PPF and ceramic already on the car.

As always, i used this forum to further educate myself on the vehicle, its variations, etc. We are excited to become more familiar with it. I did have them add satin PPF on the center console, thanks to some of you on here in other posts bringing that to my attention. I also purchased a Roar Pedal due to many on here and elsewhere saying it further enhances the driving experience. Will be getting that next week and very curious to compare with and without.

We went back and forth initially with a '24 Cayenne S then kind of randomly decided to test drive a Macan GTS just for comparison sake. Obviously much smaller, didn't need the cargo space but the driving experience was just that much better. I did like the new digital dash in the Cayenne vs the analog in the GTS but that wasnt a make or break it deal.

As of now, only have this initial pic to share. Color is PTS Fjord Green. It def does not photo well. At times it can be a deep green while at time its shows higher blue hues. I feel its a love or 'not my style' type of color. Obv we love it and its very unique but we also feel it a nice color compliment to Macan and its body lines esp with the way it was spec'd. Going to try and add more pics when I get the ability over the weekend to do so. Thanks again to everyone on here and their various opinions, thoughts, ideas, etc. We can and all do benefit!

Very cool GTS. We also went shopping for a new Cayenne and ended up w a Macan T. I don’t have the power you have but the driving dynamics are very nice in the Macan. My wife (her car) really wanted Red. And the EPA mpg is lower than actual. We are getting high 27s on the highway (80 mph) & 22 in town, which is a pleasant surprise. Enjoy in good health.

Congrats on your unique GTS. I bought a Papaya Macan for my wife as well and since I will be drving it some, went with the GTS variant. It is a very fun compact suv to drive. Enjoy

Thank you and nice choice on Papaya. In general orange is one of my fav colors so I am a sucker for anything la'orange. I also saw a pic of a Papaya Macan either here or elsewhere with stealth PPF and it was an eye catcher imo.

Love the PTS Fjord Green on the GTS Macan! 🤩
We’re trying to get an allocation for a 2025 GTS Macan order, but they are hard to come by this month.
We’ll order black (again), but we like the black with the red interior.

Thanks, Papaya has a different look based on the lighting. It really pops in bright sun but somewhat subdued in the shade. I'll bet the stealh film was cool and maybe even subdued but "rich" in the sun.
I have attached a gratuitous pic.

Added the Roar Pedal over the weekend. Vast improvement when driving in Normal at current setting of Sport+ 5. Likes to get up and scoot which is fun. Still need to familiarize myself with a lot more of the vehicle still.

Congrats!! That's a great and historic Porsche color from the 356 days. Looks awesome on your GTS, as it also did on my friends GT3. And your right it's a bugger to try and photograph with the correct color.

Congrats on the new car! The color looks fantastic and its nice to see a PTS Macan, especially in a unique color. Looks a hell of a lot better than my '23 Macan S in Dolomite Silver lol. Hope you enjoy it!!
