Found the dealer with the color and trim I wanted. Did the email route of trying to nail down a price. Went to the dealer but could not decide if wanted a GTI. My indecision was helped by having the Camry. After multiple fits of starting to walk out the manager came in. He asked what it took to close the deal then told him throw in the 5 year maintenance too. I wanted something that I did not have to worry about putting miles on so the maintenance along with the warranty pushed me to get it. Also the old last day of the month and 2019 coming out helped too.

edit: it is 5 years or 50000 miles

Most likely will try to sell it since not a fan of three cars but we will see how it goes.

Thanks guys

Well. Curious to see how it goes.

Couldn’t blame you if you sold the Turbo. It’s a quirky car. It’s basically the opposite of the GTI.

Certainly not a 911, but for once I have the top 'turbo' model in a given Porsche range. And I must say, they are quiet special. The Macan turbo is an amazing machine and very, very different from the 4-cyl and even the 6-cyl S.

Been parking the vw outside but had to pull it in today.

EDIT: Looking forward to taking that bloody roof rack off. Have a hidden hitch being delivered today for the GTI.

Always fun to tear apart a brand new car

Clips on the bumper were a bit scary
