2022 /2023 Porsche Macan S, +20k in options

- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2022
- This is a walk through of my 2022 Macan S with over 20k in options. The result is a spec that looks quite similar to the more expensive GTS version. Without issues like, lack of allocations, dealer markups, the waiting game.

Love your car and respect your choices. Excellent review. Watched Nick’s video. Ordered a GTS despite a 4 month wait for delivery. Don’t care about the GTS badge. Didn’t order the prominent exterior GTS badging or interior “GTS” badging on the seats. I also spent more money to have the side blades painted the same exterior color so if anything it looks LESS like a GTS than your S does. So I don’t think it’s fair to suggest that anyone ordering a GTS just wants the badge. I simply wanted the additional HP and torque for all 50k of the warranty, and tuned by Porsche engineers instead of waiting 4 yrs/50k for an aftermarket Cobb tune. Different strokes for different folks, and nothing but respect for those who choose an S. Tons of review videos suggest the S is the “sweet spot.” Check out the Straight Pipes review if you haven’t already. Love those guys. Also enjoyed your review. Keep up the good work and enjoy your ride.
Great looking car! Totally agree that the S is basically the GTS with a few cosmetic changes, performance is nearly identical between the two. Ordered my S and should be coming next month, can't wait!
Congrats. I just picked up a 2022 GTS in chalk also! Looking forward to your updates.
That is a usb-c cable. Also wireless carplay drains my battery fast. I don't think the wireless charging can charge it fast enough with wireless carplay active. Love the spec. I ordered the same color.
We got our Macan S 5 weeks ago. I do love it and was looking for better mats, thank you. I went a bit over board on options so it was pricey but damn it drives amazingly. It's my wife's car and then I have a truck so its the perfect car combo in the driveway. The Macan S is the best driving car I have owned and I have owned some nice ones. The only bad think so far is the backup camera is way too low.
Congratulations, beautiful car. I just got a 2022 Chalk Macan S with similar options, your rims look nicer than mine, and I went for gloss black handles which look ok, but better without. Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward for the upcoming content , good video! Hopefully nothing goes wrong so i can buy one used. Cheers!
Thanks Albert. Appreciate it.
Congrats! Beautiful car… enjoy it and drive safe. Will look into one of these once my lease is up in 2024. The color is different and sweet and those rims are sick!!! Great content.
Thanks. Hopefully by 2024 my Z06 order will be ready 😂
Looks amazing, congrats 👍🏻
Thank you!
Nice video
Congrats 🎉
Great walk thru video. I currently have 2019 Macan GTS. Gonna go Macan EV 2023-2024 and spec out very close to yours. Love that chalk with high gloss accents. Thanks for review
Thanks. I have a deposit on an EV just to hold my place in line at the local dealership. Excited to finally see it..
Ordered the same chalk Macan - just got it a few weeks ago - 2ed Macan - love this car. Also did the no nomanclature / got better seats and sports exhaust. MSRP very close to yours.
Hi Jim, thank you for this - so helpful as I’m buying an S too. You have an update after driving it for 6months? Congrats on the beautiful car and having a kid who can keep the camera straight! Much appreciated! Daniel
Sweet Ride Jim and nice review. I have the same vehicle but in Black with very similar options selections. I’ve had a few Q5’s with the V6 supercharger (2014) and this is my first Porsche; the performance is incredible and the air suspension is everything that you’ve mentioned.
Anyhow, enjoy the ride! I’m from beantown also!
Cool. Let me know if you plan to attend any local events. I’ll try to make it
@@doublejdj1 Yes will do
Great looking car!
Nice spec congrats. We received our Macan S just this week here in Australia. Great car. I notice yours has the indicator lenses on the front side bumper, ours doesn’t. Must be a compliance thing where you are. Enjoy the new beast. As will we 👍
How do you like it so far? I love mine and will update this video soon. Yes the side markers are a USA thing unfortunately
Thanks for this!!!
Glad you enjoyed
The car looks amazing. I like the rims
Can you post up the build sheet? Great video..thanks!
Jim, this is the perfect spec. Congrats. QQ: are the exhaust tips silver or brushed metal? I am only aware of silver and black with the sports exhaust combo. thx
I believe they are brushed metal but I could be wrong.
thank you. That's interesting as the only options available when you get sports exhausts is silver or black...
Absolutely beautiful Macan - love the wheels. No updates on ownership as yet? Would be really nice to vid see.
Yes for sure.. life has been super busy. I’m going to make one very soon. Thank you for following.
Great video! Congrats! How does the stock exhaust sound when ur in sport vs sport plus?
There is a sample at the end of the video but I’ll add that comparison when I update. Thanks
Fantastic review. Join the Macan forum and post a link back here.
Thanks Feyd. Great idea.
looks and sounds great. Has it got the sports exhaust?
Thanks. Nope it’s stock
Sweet car, love it
Thanks for the video, I really liked it. I love that color but since it was kind of expensive, i opted for the Papaya on my 2022 Macan S. it's on the vessel to US-East coast right now and it should be here in one or two weeks. Can you please share your build code?, the price of my Macan S was 89K plus and I didnt get that color and I also regret I didnt add the Black Roof Rails. After that, mine looks like your Macan as far as specifications.
When I have time I’ll update the description to include options and prices
OK… very helpful yes your S is a lot like a GTS but I noticed that you didn’t opt for an Interior Package with Deviated Stitching which is available on the S as well. It’s included in the GTS Sport Package at a reduced cost.
I wondered about that… if you could get the S and just add the same options. I ended up pretty close… you pay more for the same options and there are some things that you just don’t get on the S.
So it seems like you get a better value out of the GTS and even if people say the power isn’t noticeable… you can still be lower in the GTS. That seems to make it more like a sports car experience… but you do need to get it on the open road for that to be enjoyable
Either way I do like a lot of things you selected here and at a decent price too
Nice car, congrats! How long was the wait?
Thanks Andre, I waited from December to June. So about 5-6 months. Not too bad I guess.
Very nice Jim enjoy. My dream car but unfortunately very expensive haha. With your spec 130.000 Euros in Croatia.
Wow that seems excessive. The euro and dollar are almost the same right now.
Add $200 and order the Zensport radiator grills (outer only) from England. Easy to install and keep road junk from damaging the chilling fins on the radiators. I added them to my Boxster GTS and my 911 992 Carrera S as well. No rocks. Insects. Birds. Truck tread chucks.
I have 14k miles on her now. I’ll inspect the intercoolers. Thanks
Thank you
Looks good. I have a 2018, it’s a great car.
Hi, with regards to the steering wheel, besides being smaller, is it thicker?
I don’t think it is. Although I’ve been looking at a few different wheel covers. If I get one I’ll included it in the next post
Car looks good but I would rather have the classic 911 in yellow
I just ordered one of these, they do an electronic hidden tow bar here in europe instead of that one
Interesting as that was the same thing I optioned. Maybe another supply chain issue
How are you enjoying the Macan S now that it’s 8 months later?
I love it. Although I’ve had a repeated issue with the AC. I’ll be adding an update video soon.
Great review. I have a Turbo without the extra badging as well. Great choice on the 18 way seats.
There should not be any micro USB ports in the vehicle. Likely USB-C. That's what I have in mine but it's a 2021.
Theres a standard 12v port in the front, for fast charging your phone(s). Did you find where it is?
I honestly haven’t looked but I will today. I’ve been fine using the micro USB ports.
Its underneath the rubber mat in front of the cup holder. You kinda have to force it off. Interesting design, but convenient if you need it
True but more money for less options. Also no one had allocations at the time. Im interested to see the s vs GTS on a dyno. I bet the gap is smaller than marketing wants you to believe .
Where did you get the rear smoked smoked marker lights?
Hi Larry. That’s actually tint that my detailer applied when installing the PPF
@@doublejdj1 Nice. I just returned home to the flat lands from 1300 mile trip through Arkansas twisty roads in my 23 GTS. First real trip I've made in mine. It was flawless. I don't think LEO would accept the black rear marker lights here. I installed the front Flat6 smoked ones but a rear reflector in red is required in my state. I like your smoked black on the rears and would look good with my Jet black paint. I also installed a roar pedal and the Flat6 intake. Roar pedal makes a huge difference in throttle response. Definitely worth installing one. Fun cars.
I just can't option the S the way I want it without basically being right near my GTS range price. Like $5k difference. Also, GTS has chassis changes over the S, so it's not just engine tuning difference.
The physical/mechanical car is exactly the same. But if you like the GTS go for it. And you are correct my car optioned as stated cost more than a base GTS. I like my options and saw no reason to pay 10K more for programming and a badge with less options.
@@doublejdj1 I've moved on to getting a different vehicle in the time since I posted this. lol
@@greg5143which vehicle did get ? I don't know which vehicle to buy. 2023 Macan GTS, 2023 BMW x3 M compt, 2023 Audi rsq8. I am seriously lost. Been 4 days and I haven't made a decision yet
@@jerub1185 I didn't buy anything yet because rates went to shit.
@@greg5143 the three vehicles I listed above, which one would you recommend I buy and why ? This is the first time in my 28 years of life buying my own car. I have an audi Q5L, a gift from my father, but I wanna buy my own car and probably gift the Q5L to my brother
Congratulations
What do you do if I can ask??
Just another tech sales guy.. 😂
I just hate how you can’t get black stock rims on the S
I totally agree but these rims look great as is. When/if you get bored just powder coat them. It’s all marketing rules in effort to support the demand and added cost of the GTS.
GTS has 434hp S is 375hp...that is a big difference. Did you delete the model name off back hoping people would think you were driving a GTS?
Lol no.. Actually I have other reasons for removing the badge . It was removed when I applied full PPF. By the way my car cost more than a base GTS so obviously I don’t care what other people think I’m driving.
wt color it is?
Chalk(USA) Crayon(UK)
I'm going by the dealer this week, and I’m leaning rowards the S. That being said, there is a considerable difference between the two.
The GTS produces 434 hp, and the S $375 hp-thats a difference of 59 hp.
The GTS is faster.
The GTS sits 10 millimetres lower, comes with air suspension, and lower profile tires. The GTS handles better.
There are visual differences too.
Anyways, both are great cars and you can get the air suspension on the S, but your claim that they’re the same is false.
The GTS is tuned and tweaked to be more of a drivers car than the S, T, or base Macan.
✌🏼
Jesus, if you’ve spent $88K on a S, you should’ve just waited for the GTS. A fully loaded GTS is about $93K and has 60 HP more. But if you like it then that’s all it matters. Congrats! Looks sharp!
Definitely get the S over the GTS, the performance difference is abysmal. Not a fan of chalk, looks like a dirty white. Get GT silver instead
My bad, on the Macan Dolomite Silver is the only non PTS silver color there is
Why get 20k options when you can get a GTS with most of these options as standard…. GTS the better model
What do you drive?
jeez thats a lot of options, another 20k and you would be in 911 territory
When my kids go to college it will be 😀👍🏻

Maserati Grecale locks better .
Not a bad option but. Cars deprecate around 49% in 5 years. Maserati on average is almost 75%. Not for me
The Maserati also “breaks-down better” than the Porsche
Meh colour
