This Macan GTS is already known to us, and it is a pleasure to have her back at Vertex. She has a combination I would happily choose for myself, Volcano Grey Metallic, satin black RS Spyder wheels and Garnet Red seat belts, with a panoramic roof and BOSE audio to make the cabin just as appealing as the view from outside. For me, a GTS ought to make you want to drive it. It should have enough character that you enjoy it on the sort of roads you actually use, with an engine and chassis that feel as though they belong together. That is where this generation of Macan has so much appeal. You get the room and usefulness of an SUV, with the ingredients that make a Porsche enthusiast reach for the keys. Just look at the way this one sits. The RS Spyder wheels fill the arches beautifully, the red calipers show through the satin black spokes and the Volcano Grey gives the bodywork a lovely understated presence. There is real muscle in the shape, particularly around the rear shoulders, while the SportDesign detailing and black tailpipes finish it off. The proportions work so well. It is a handsome car, and the GTS details give you plenty to appreciate as you walk around it. Then there is the engine. The 3.0 litre twin turbocharged V6 produces 360 PS and 500 Nm of torque, giving the GTS the sort of muscular delivery that suits a road car beautifully. There is substantial pulling power through the middle of the rev range, so you can enjoy the performance without needing to chase the top of every gear. With the Porsche sports exhaust adding its voice, the engine brings a sense of occasion to a car you can use all week. That combination is a large part of why these appeal to me. The seven speed PDK makes good use of it. Leave the gearbox to do its work and the Macan is easy to fit into daily life. Use the paddles and you can become more involved, choosing your gear, enjoying the V6 and making the most of a good stretch of road. That is the lovely thing about having this much ability in your everyday car. A journey you have made a hundred times can suddenly become something you look forward to. The GTS chassis is an important part of that enjoyment. With steel springs, Porsche Active Suspension Management and a ride height reduced by 15 mm, Porsche gave this version its own sporting focus. There is real appeal in a Macan that encourages you to enjoy a winding road, while offering the room and four wheel drive usefulness you want from it. For an enthusiast, that is why the choice of GTS matters. The engine, gearbox and chassis all have their part to play. And the cabin gives you a good reason to linger before setting off. The GTS sports seats, with their eight way electric adjustment and GTS logos on the headrests, establish the mood straight away. The black leather package and Piano Black trim keep everything smart, then the Garnet Red belts add a lovely flash of colour. It is such a small detail, but one you will notice every time you open the door. Those are often the things that make you grow particularly fond of your own car. The panoramic roof brings welcome light into the dark interior, while BOSE Surround Sound gives you another reason to enjoy a longer journey. Heated front seats and the Driver Memory Package make getting comfortable straightforward. Navigation, Connect Plus with Apple CarPlay capability, a reversing camera and front and rear ParkAssist take care of the useful everyday details. This is a specification you will appreciate while owning the car, as well as when you first read the advert. The background supports the appeal. At 83,826 miles, she comes with full Porsche and Porsche specialist service history. We have just completed an engine oil and filter service, replaced the spark plugs and carried out a vehicle inspection before offering her again. The discs and pads are good front and rear, and the tyres are matching and in good condition all round. There is reassuring substance here alongside the colour, the options and the GTS badge. I like the idea that the car doing most of your miles can also be the one you most look forward to driving. This GTS makes that very easy to picture. A twin turbo V6, a Porsche chassis, a cabin you can settle into and those little flashes of red to remind you that you chose something special. With her maintenance background and our fresh preparation behind her, she is a Porsche we are very pleased to have in the collection again. With this Macan, the service history is part of the reason for wanting her back. She has full Porsche and Porsche specialist history, giving this GTS a maintenance background that belongs alongside its colour and specification when you judge the whole car. I want someone buying a Porsche from us to feel excited about owning it, with clear information about the care and work behind it. We have just completed an engine oil and filter service, replaced the spark plugs and carried out a vehicle inspection before offering her again. That recent work sits alongside good discs and pads front and rear and matching tyres, all in good condition. There is real satisfaction in handing over the keys when the servicing has been completed and those important details can be explained clearly. The brake discs and pads are in good condition front and rear, with matching tyres fitted all round, all in good condition. Those details deserve attention on a performance Porsche, because they are parts of the car you rely on every time you use it. We have also completed a vehicle inspection alongside the engine oil and filter service and replacement spark plugs. The recent work and the condition of the brakes and tyres give the next owner a clear, useful account of the preparation behind this GTS.
