Rare cars on SA road

He earns JUST enough to be able to JUST afford this...

Jah, iow, he can't afford it.

Wait until the engine blows... I know someone who also could just afford a Carrera. Then one blown engine later, the begging bowl came out. lucky for him his brother earns lots of pounds

Porsche options are extensive and expensive. .

So, like a regular VW product? Feels like the steering wheel is an optional extra on a polo sometimes.

Worse. The missus drives a GTI and it came standard with stuff that are optional on the Macan. Like heated seats.

I get you, but it's a R50k option on the Macan S, which is what I was looking at. Porsche options are extensive and extensive. Ended up with just shy of R200k of options on the spec I want. Nuts.

If you are spending R1.5 bar what is an extra 50k for a sports exhaust on a SPORTS car.

i spent +-15k on an exhaust (actually only the catback ,so half the exhaust system) on a car that cost R90K

Maybe he is going to get a set of customized Titanium exhaust

Toby will not approve of that on a new Porsche and he may kiss his warranty and maintenance plan goodbye.

You know, some guys they dont really care about warranty...I have seen guys that bought Ferrari and then go straight to Novitec for modding

Sure, but they aren't the guys who don't have money to spec an exhaust on a Porsche

shes bolted on tight.Getting that exhaust off those polyurethane exhaust hangers requires plenty of patience and a whole lot of colour language

I was referring to the 911 that’s why I said “sports car” . Don’t care much for the Macan.

Why the Macan hate?

If you can only have one Porsche and you have a family to shuttle around or do something more extreme with your time then there’s nothing wrong with going SUV.

Rather a Macan than no Porsche at all.

 

[FiestaST]

It is possible Macan hate stems from the pre-facelift poverty spec models that still rolled with halogens.

Yip. I'll be sure to let my wife know that her choice of vehicle, the 230kW, arguably the best compact SUV on the market, doesn't meet the approval of a bunch of randoms on the Internet who probably haven't even ever sat in a Porsche, nevermind owned one.

lekker car!

Hot starting is usually a sign that the coil pack is on its way out.

will you stop getting salty now.Now iam sure you dont care about my opinion but iam against all exotic brands (Porsche and Lambo mainly) having suvs.They clearly devalue and water the brand down, as they become more mainstream.The whole point for owning a porsche or Lambo is the aspiration of owning something that is rare and special.Now i understand why these car companies do it , as it a big revenue driver.Just remember your macan will be used by Porsche to help develop the next generation of special porsches.They mearly using you as a cash cow.

Porsche and Lambo are looking like they will soon be failing into the Merc / Audi level.Mass producing anything and everything.Moving forward the only real exotic brands will be Bugatti , Pagani and Koenigsegg.
