Congratulations, Mark. Stunning colour. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the car once you've had time to get a few miles on the clock.

Thanks, I agonised over colour, as I always do but happy with the choice. Reminds me a little of San Marino blue.

So far so good. PASM on standard 15mm steel suspension. 20" S wheels. Happy with the config so far. 40 mile return trip from the dealer. Glad I didn't go with 21", would have had to spec-ed air for those.

Wohoo. It arrived. Great week for car collection. Are the wing mirrors and arms grey?

How does it feel to drive. Finding the power sufficient? Does it feel similar to a Macan S in handling?

Perfect spec congrats and many happy, safe and satisfying miles. Enjoy the brilliant handling.

The exterior can only be described as brilliant. You made a very very good choice, sir!

Only one question from my side. Does your car come with an interior? If yes, what colour combination did you go for?

Digging those seat inserts.

330 miles put on the car this past week. Very pleased with how it handles. Amazing for a heavy SUV and the PASM settings are spot on, 3 very well judged choices. And also happy with my choice of standard steel suspension with the 20" wheels rather than 21" and Air.

I admit some more power would be nice, not necessarily from additional cylinders but given its near enough the same engine, the extra 50bhp from the Golf R version over the GTI version would have been a welcome addition, especially for the T over the base 2.0l.

But it's well appointed and looks ace, very happy so far.

See above! Update.

Yes, Agate grey details.

Beautiful Macan! Gentian blue is a fantastic choice. Does it come with the sport exhaust ?

Thank you, though no longer mine!

I didn't bother, didn't think it would particularly enhance the 4 cyl sound TBH.

However, the T I drove on my recent Porsche Experience Centre day this week had it and I quite liked it.
Was it worth the extra £1k though? Probably not.
