Wow! Congrats. I like that color combo a lot - very stealthy, if you will!

Side note... The Macan is probably the only SUV I'd consider buying for myself.

Congrats on the Macan! We love our 2018 and it hasn't needed a single repair in 5.5 years. It is the perfect combination of sport and luxury. I think you both will enjoy the new ride!

Love the RS Spyder wheels. What other kinds of options do you two have on that thing? 👀

My wife wanted to buy a Macan too - what a great looking car - esp the slick rear end styling of 2017 model.

However, my wife also wanted to transport her parents in the back, but the legroom was so poor, her parents would have to be almost legless to fit in the back.

There's one a few houses from us. I was outside the other afternoon and he started the car. That sounded good. Congrats and that is a nice upgrade from a 4GS. The front view reminds the Urus?

Same here! They're definitely one of the best looking wheels that are offered.

As for options, we didn't go too crazy since it's already the GTS trim and pretty much had everything we wanted. Just got the sports chrono package, PTV+, 360 camera, upgraded red leather interior, and upgraded audio system.

The cold start sound on these are addictive.

Only about 30,000 miles. However, there are people on Macan Forum with 160,000 miles with few, if any, repairs. There are a couple common issues (transfer case especially) but not all experience them.
