As a fellow 992 owner I agree as to the GTS. But be prepared to want to drive the 992 less. You can use what a Macan offers away from the track whereas your 992 turbo S not as much.

Equipment I'm glad I have and would order again.

Air suspension, 18 way seats. heated steering wheel, Chrono, PDLS+, noise insulated glass.

I like the ionizer too. Not sure it does anything but at $500 it makes you think it does.

Default Brake flush

How often is it REALLY necessary if a car driven fairly lightly 7,000 miles a year?

Sport Exhaust is expensive and doesn't improve performance, ++ on 18 way seats and Air-PASM.

I just purchased a '24 macan S, my must have options at the very minimum are:
- PASM,
- Bose surround sound,
- custom wheels,
- clear LED taillights, &
- premium pkg plus

Macon GTS could never displace my 992 TTS, except in Canadian winter conditions.

Thanks, like minded indeed! I ordered the LW glass on my TTS and like it, will probably include on this order. Ionizer? maybe not...

Agreed on the SE, BUT it also improves the driving experience IMO, as do 18 way.

There is no one answer to "must have options". The question is - what do you want. Or more specifically, what does your wife want!!

If you’re considering optioning AS, sports chrono, and the sports exhaust on an S, you should be thinking about a GTS, especially if also considering a wheel upgrade.

LOL, true. Her choice was the colour, the rest she says does not matter.

Working with an attempted budget, maybe next time.

I am considering the 18 way seats on my 2024 build and my dealer is telling me that they can feel confining. Unfortunately there is not a vehicle in stock with them to try out. (in the process of looking at other dealers in the area to see if they may have)

For reference I am 5-11 and 165 lbs.

"Unfortunately there is not a vehicle in stock with them to try out."

This could be why they are telling you they are confining.
5'10" and 170 lbs. Mine not confining, just right.
