Re: My Macan after 100.000 km
How is the bonnet looking, stone chip wise? This worries me although I’m only at 21k miles. Unfortunately plenty of chips on the bonnet. I already asked the Porsche center for the price of painting the bonnet. It is €1800. Maybe next year I will do that. Also asked a small local shop, they wpuld ta...

Except problems with the service quality of my Porsche center there was only one issue: one of the axle boots had to be repla...

Re: Hello and diesel or petrol dilemma
If you like to press on, you will feel the extra weight of the diesel vs petrol Macan S is 2105 kg, Macan S Diesel is 2120 kg. I doubt you feel the difference of 15 kg. GTS by the way is 2135 kg, so 15 kg heavier compared to the diesel. The GTS has more optional extras fitted as standard = more wei...

I think diesel is better in comfort mode you are then riding between 1000 und 2000 rpm, when needing more power maybe up to 3000. On the highway (beyond 75 miles /hour) the petrol is significantly faster and more powerful wh...
