Re: In search for the best 2.0l tuning.... My list of choices

☹️ The UK forum seems pretty much against the 2.0L (minority decision but fairly vocal,) and tuning chips or bypass boxes are also fairly rare - forum wise - in the UK...... I test drove the 2.0 recently and was blown away by it actually! Barely felt any slower than my current 6 pot 340i, mostly th...

Re: In search for the best 2.0l tuning.... My list of choices

I have talked to my Porsche sales guy when purchasing the 2.0 Macan and he also said that the power was voluntarily limited by Porsche in order not to get to close to the performance offered by the S...However the car is lighter and feels very agile. I agree with your comments on Power being availa...

Re: New to Macans

Well, it kind of isn't. Actually no it simply isn't a sports car. It is, however, a sporty SUV and, yes, I would agree that it is probably the best handling SUV around and manages to be supremely comfortable at the same time.

Re: Build and Deliver
