Macan GTS /Petrol MPG? (Real World)

[Montcoffer]

I've been offered a build date (May) for a Macan DS today hence the request for help, I posed a question last week asking about Diesel issues in the press etc, & now Im getting close to having to choose my final spec, I'm still considering either a petrol or a GTS. Planning to do 6-8K a year. What is the real wold MPG of a petrol? on a recent test drive I only saw 22mpg! But saying that the long term loan DS I had only averaged 32mpg over 3K miles!
Also looking at GTS spec I don't think I would need many options either, bringing it closer to a similarly speed DS anyway. I'm rambling because I'm just not sure, my other car is a 991 C2, advise welcome. Thanks

In your running cost calculation you need to include depreciation....isn't a GTS a better bet on that front?

I've had a GTS now for 5 months and covered 5k miles of mixed driving roads , getting around 22mpg overall which is below what Porsche claim , but not too bothered with that. I get the impression that the GTS is not really the best option if your concerned with fuel economy or mpg

[Nosliw]

I agree with Cheib that a decent spec GTS would be a better buy if your looking at depreciation as against a diesel version . GTS model will always be better resale , it's less in supply .

2800 miles. 19.8 mpg average.Onboard computer very misleading for the first few miles of any journey. It starts off at around 32 mpg and then drops gradually. I once achieved 24 mpg on a motorway run

Get the GTS with your mileage but it does only do 22mpg. I'm on my 2nd petrol Macan and they're great.

6-8k miles is not a lot at all. If you took the mpg's from above at 22 and 32 respectively that an additional cost per year on petrol of about £600.

I agree with the statement that depreciation will be less on two fronts - firstly the gts line is generally more desired and tends to hold value better. Also you don't need to add options and its those that can take a real hammering especially if you go a bit mental with ticking the boxes.

Also when doing a like for like remember the GTS comes with certain additional benefits that you just cant spec.

- uprated suspension.
- turbo brakes.
- engine.

I am doing circa 15,000 miles a year in ours and even then it made more sense getting the GTS to us.

Is that for real? I get that or more from a 5.0SC petrol Range Rover and it's not run in yet, I don't hang about either. I know what I'd rather have if choosing although nothing wrong a with Macan GTS at all.

I have cayenne GTS and get 22mpg average after 44000 miles, I did try a machan petrol and was surprised to get mpg lower than my cayenne so I kept the cayenne!

There could be a level of man maths involved but your right with my relatively low mileage & low depreciation, along with the potential future issues with diesel powered cars the GTS is looking favourite.

I'm convinced, GTS is the way........wonder what the lead time will be?

Sounds like that will be £600 well spent.........GTS it is, now let me think on colour I love the black spyder wheels but don't think they look as good on a black car which is my first choice?

GTS or even better a Velar P380.
