Back to a 911, GTS on order

Sounds like you've had a total mare! When it happened to me the dealer described it as a 'freak incident'. Clearly that's not the case.

I wonder if it's more of an issue with RHD cars as kerbside puddles will be on the sameside as the flap? Our German friends are more likely to see water ingress on the right hand side of the car from kerbside puddles ... unless there is flap on that side as well of course!

:?:

Curious that it was even a problem with an older A6!!!!

Regardless sounds like I had a lucky escape. The Audi dealer had three cars in stock and offered me an amazing PX for mine couple with a big discount against one of those cars. Which was curious. This was Dec last year... I asked when the car was manufactured and it was Q1 2016. So it had basically sat around in the dealer network for the best part of a year. No wonder they were keen to shift it.

The demo car is still on site. I see it when I pass by on the way to work... so there is one on the Audi Used Website that has had the flap broken and refixed... plus two of yours from the sounds of it!

As you say, stay well clear!

Afetr reading several reviews no, the GTS does indeed look to be a great buy.

So I priced one on the configurator with to a nice but not too indulgent spec....

If you want PCCBs, Sports Buckets Seats and that tasty light blue, then even on the 2wd manual GTS (probably the best of the lot) you are looking at a £110k car... :eek:

<gulp!>
 
It can get a bit crazy hey... When i was speccing my car i tried to keep track that its £76k for a base carrera, which is epic driving machine to start with... my man maths justified up to £90k, £14k of bits on top.

So nearly another £35k.... its all man maths, whatever puts a grin on your face and is of value for what you want. :D
 
Yep, damn Porsche and their bloody configurator! Just one more thing, and then another aaaand another.....hmmm!

Anyway, slightly OT but wifey picked this up today. She's like a pig in sh!t with her fancy new SUV and (my) temporary Boxster :lol: No confirmed build date on my GTS yet though :x

It's bloody spectacular. That is all!

Oooh lovely! Your wife has picked the same interior as mine. The only difference is we took the carbon fibre pack and heated carbon fibre wheel. Sounds a bit naff but we love it.
Seriously, take that bad boy for a spirited drive. I promise you you'll be impressed.... :thumbs: :)
 
Thanks guys, and yeah I'm really impressed with the Macan.

It'll certainly get a good run alright, because in two days we're doing a 2.5k mile trip to Venice and Switzerland....I reckon it'll be nicely run in with a few hundred miles by the time I reach the German border :D

Doing the Geneva show on the way back and, thanks to my OPC we have tickets to the closed area and some hospitality on the Porsche stand.

Most distressingly though, I am STILL waiting for by GTS build date :sad:
 
Macan looks amazing :mrgreen:

It's really bugging me, so I have to ask...why have your neighbours got windows in their chimney breasts? :dont know:

:oops:

Ha, funny! It's so Santa has a view :lol:

But they also have a log burner in that area so, what you see as a chimney breast on the outside is actually part of the room inside.
 
Soo much porn in this post. Living the dream :thumbs:

I'm only jealous mate.

You have a beautiful home and some stunning pork!

Good news, locked down the spec of my GTS today and I've got a build date of mid-May. So, hopefully I'll be able to take delivery late May, early June.

Thankfully, as it's still a 2017-build car, it's at the old price as the recent price hikes would have had a material £5k impact on my spec....thereby instigating a rethink. Indeed, I actually added a couple of extra options, namely the extended leather dash with contrast stitching (basically its leather right up to the windscreen) and painted air vents which should look great in the Carmine (this also gets the preposterous option of leather slats in the vents!).
 
Yes, noticed the price increases across the board... although i did also see that you can now order the PSE tips in black. I would have had those if they were an option last year.

Me too. Surprisingly a no cost option.
