Yeah I'm forcing her to at least try the Macan as I've got a horrible feeling she'll realise it's actually not too big and will prefer it. Maybe that's foolish on my part but if she's paying half the deposit\finance then I don't want her hating the car or regretting the decision. If she sticks with the Cayman after the test drives though, happy days!
Are there any critical options? Aircon, Bose, Sports Chrono, PASM?
Depends what’s important to you.
On a GTS you get pretty much everything you need.
PDLS+, Bose, Cruise Control and rain sensing wipers would be the only must haves which are not standard.
If you don’t get PDLS+, you don’t get LED headlights - they’re Xenon.
If you don’t get PDLS, they’re only 25w Xenon, rather than 35w.
Personally I think headlights are critical, and it’s nearly always worth getting the best option available.
Bose is good enough - this is coming from someone who has upgraded the audio in every car I’ve had, other than my F31 with HK.
Decent dynamic capability, reasonably loud and vocals are good on phone calls.
Normal wipers are just intermittent which is annoying.
Cruise is critical for me on any car, as I love it for long journeys.
