Interesting, do you do a lot of motorway miles?
Not really. It's a mix of local and long distance drives. One thing it doesn't do is city driving.

Re: Sport Chrono stopwatch / Compass instrument dial

I know you’re not seriously considering SC, but it’s the only option I wouldn’t order again on my car. Never launched it, and can count on one hand the number of times I’ve use sport plus. Would rather stick it in manual.

Re: New M5 versus my Macan GTS

Interesting to pick up this year-old thread. I'm in a 2017 turbo and have been thinking about a change. I've driven the regular M5 but not the competition. Compared to my turbo the ride of the regular M5 isn't as smooth though body control is slightly better when you are pressing on. I think the com...

Re: My Macan S impressions

A month later... 2500mi on the clock... I am still delighted with the vehicle! Macan S is not a match for 435i, but what a pleasure it is to ride! I took it for a 100mi ride today.

Re: Macan Turbo: discs and pads

At £200 per hour I'll be buying the parts and fitting them myself, or getting my indie to do it.
