Sold the M3 and changed to a Porsche Macan GTS.

I like them, I think the back is nice!

What's the performance like? I hear they're good!

Performance is very good. Exhaust sound is great too and very comfortable.

Very nice car, I thought about getting a Macan to replace my ML.

Looks fab, congrats!

We've got a Macan too, in Night Blue as well. Great car! Boot is not quite as good as you think considering it is only something like 1.5cm narrower than a Cayenne.

The Sport Chrono turns it into a beastie!

Nice car. But isn't it based on the old Q5 platform??

why is the center belt not also red?

Not sure ... something to do with German symmetry?

Someone has painted over your number plate!

Probably a £700 optional extra to have a matching red centre belt after you've already paid £700 to have the other belts red.

Porsche love an optional extra.

Yes, but the changes made to transform from Q5 to Macan are as extensive as they come.

I reckon that it's a production error. Seat belts in Porsches are always the same colour throughout .. first time I have seen this.

I just configured a Macan GTS with red seat belts, ALL belts are red on the configurator

Probably a £5k option.

Hi ... It's not a production error I checked with Porsche. The option I had was GTS leather interior package in Carmine Red (without items in Alcantara) and that states outer rear seat belts are in red.

IMO red in the centre would detract because it would emphasise lack of symmetry whereas it's a nice design touch applied to the outers. So probably very deliberate design decision.
