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...

My Macan after 100.000 km

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

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...

Re: Used Macan petrol or diesel?

I would make it dependent on if you prefer sporty driving or comfort rides. 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...
