On my first order, which I needed to cancel I specced 22's, on the current order I switched to 21, after having seen them first hand, and experienced the 'ever so slightly' harder ride on a 22 GTS test drive (over a 4/4S on 22's). I think they look great too, far better than photos, and...

Ha, brilliant! Mine is Vanadium with red interior/stitching/decals, Weissach, buckets, partial bonnet, neodyme wheels, ceramics, front-axle lift, full PPF. To be honest, any spec is absolutely mega, now seems a great time to get into one, and only a couple of new ones available. I came the other...

I failed at that task... slippery slope TS23, slippery slope ;).

+1, and why I'm ending up just going with standard (21's) on the GTS order. I was happy with this from a looks perspective once I'd seen the 21's IRL too. Having driven 4/4S and GTS on 22's the GTS definitely felt a little firmer on normal, even if that difference was minor it was noticeable...

Also, other than the sport design bits, other options (including, significantly their weight, or any other measurable impact they may have on WLTP as measured by whomever) are different as standard, and these all have a bearing... I've always been a little interested in how much options like...

Thanks, I’ve asked to re-add it, also unsure what his main concern is - he mentioned it was harder to see out of the rear window (?), but I can’t say I’ve heard this kind of complaint anywhere else. I even pointed them to the video on the car linked below, to say it looked okay, but he used the...

Okay, this is my second attempt at a GTS order after having to pull out from a first round allocation, fingers crossed this one works out okay! This time around I’ve had a better opportunity to see various GTS configurations first hand and to drive a few too, so that has helped narrows things...

Am in a position where I'm about to grab an allocation for a GTS (again), and being a little more careful about spec now that I've been able to see a number of cars first hand. Other than deciding Ice Grey vs Carmine Red (went to see both today on a GTS, Ice edging it), I'm wondering about the...

Thanks for confirming, yes, I’ve come to the conclusion that the user who mentioned they have the updated UI on a 25 car must in fact have an early 26 car (they collected autumn 25 IIRC, just as the initial batch of 26 cars were being built/delivered). No other ‘25 car I’ve seen with the...

Thanks... I was hoping/expecting to be much more impressed, I went in really wanting to like it, on paper it has everything bar a crappy turning circle and steel springs... but feel like I'm in an emperor's new clothes skit. Folks I really respect have also been gushing about it, and I'm...

Test drove one today for around an hour (new iX3)... thought I'd post some thought - must say I was pretty disappointed overall. Main pros and gripes (and I'm comparing to my current 2022 Tesla MY, and my preference to replace it with a new Macan GTS, which I've also driven): Pros: Range...

For anyone still following this thread... I test drove a Macan GTS today and it had 3D surround view. For starters, I can thankfully confirm it still includes the same 'real life' kerbside camera views as the 2D surround (or surround view in 24/25 cars), using the side view icon and then you...

Indeed - seems like 3D surround + porsche entry/digital key is only now available with 'remote park assist' - before today there was the option of 'park assist' or 'remote park assist'.

What a really brilliant summary, thanks for taking the time to write that up! From a 'user' perspective, the one time I really value OPD is in stop-start traffic, I know for a fact my wife really dislikes in on the motorway or country lane, for all the jerky retardation it inevitably brings...

Yes, I'm aware of the intended functionality, just wondering if anyone had any further info/images/video, since kerb assist was highlighted as a new feature for 2026 when selecting 3D surround view only, and 2D surround and I guess 2025 with surround doesn't have any kind of wheel highlighting...
