Re: I expected better - any similar poor experiences with Porsche?

I suspect your car has been taken to Porsche West London as opposed to East London as West London is the service centre for Mayfair and they are both manufacturer owned. East London is a Jardine Motors business. I’d be inclined to contact the service centre direct for an update. All the same, poor s...

Re: Considering Selling......... Macan S Diesel

I sold my Oct ‘16 Macan SD with £14k of extra spec, £2.5k retrofit sports exhaust and ceramic coating in March 2018. At that point, it had 7,500 miles on it and was immaculate. Best offer I got was £42,500 from a number of different independents. Hopefully that helps. Good luck with the sale. Sent f...

Re: Macan in the snow/ ice

I received an email from Design 911 yesterday with some winter wheel and tyre offers. Might be worth checking them out.

Re: Macan in the snow/ ice

I’ve fitted Michelin Alpin winters to my Quad and it has transformed the car in these cold conditions. 510hp through the year wheels on almost semi-slick Pirelli p-zero corsa tyres was not for the faint hearted! Much of the debate seems to be focused on snow and ice, but the cold and wet is more lik...

Re: Sell or Hold

Personally, no matter how good the car is, I just get bored of it and fancy a change. Now that I’ve embraced motorbikes too, I’m hoping I can just swap those more regularly as thankfully it’s cheaper!

Re: Macan 2.0 T vs Macan S

Interestingly, I owned a Cayman S with absolutely no options and loved it for its sheer driving enjoyment. I owned a Macan SD with £13k of options and loved the interior quality of it, but didn’t love the drive - clearly it wasn’t a petrol variant though. I now have a Giulia Quadrifoglio. At first, ...

Re: Mac 2 or not to Mac 2. Advise please.

If you trade-in and buy a new one then after 3 years that new one will depreciate by about £25k. If you keep the current one it would depreciate by about £15k. I'd keep the current one if you are happy with it, skip the 1.2, put a very early deposit on a nominal 2.1 model then decide which one once...

He’s also had some great long term loaners including an Aston Martin Vantage and currently a 720S.

Re: Mr JWW buys a Macan Turbo Performance Pack

He did mention a GT3 in the video. Looks like he owns a nice Ferrari too. He’s just sold his 458 Speciale to fund his NVN London venture which is a detailing business. You should watch his recent first drive video of the F12 TDF .... it’s a great video. He really is one of the better YouTubers and ...
