Re: GLC 63 / Levante
I wouldn't touch the GLC with a barge pole. All RHD GLC's have a steering geometry design fault, which causes tyre crabbing under certain conditions, mainly low speed near full lock. Sounds like a nightmare. I guess you won't be buying a Cayman / 911( depending on model spec) as they have the same ...

Re: Huge Cost for Wheel Alignment
When I had a Macan I had a new windscreen fitted. My Macan had lane departure and the dynamic headlight system fitted. Apparently for these (and maybe other) systems to work correctly the tracking / alignment and camera (on windscreen) need to be set up to work together. Actually had two windscreens...

Re: EV braking
Try to push the brake pedal through the floor and you'll get a stop of around 1g. A bit more with a dry grippy surface and less if the road is shiny wet.
etc.
Max lateral acceleration is also around the 1g figure for a sporty car on a good surface.

Re: Courtesy Car
Being an owner of a 718S and having had F6 boxsters before, I really don't get this knocking of the four cylinder engine. Sorry, but I just don't. It isn't worse, just different. I think that people are being swayed by every reviewer who slated the noise when the car was launched, probably as there...

Re: Ipace Virtual Reality
Got the same. letter said instructions to build the viewer are on the viewer. Not true they're on the box. Anyway assembled the viewer, downloaded app (Android). App doesn't work. Such a low quality marketing idea. Incorrect letter, cardboard viewer and an app that doesn't work. Whole thing in the b...

Re: No stop/start, no coasting
Don't know what you're complaining about.
I'd be quite happy not to have to disable SS every time I get in the car!

Re: Porsche Connect app
Weemsy, I'm a bit confused. Not really sure what you have got working and what you would like to get working. Is it true that your car has a built in SIM, recent cars do and older ones don't? Don't know when the changes happened. If you haven't inserted a SIM in the car or connected the car to your ...

Re: AMG C63 Estate v Macan Turbo
Think it's true to say that the drag coefficients being discussed need to be multiplied by the 'drag area' (broadly the front of the car) to give a drag measure for a particular car.
Suspect Panamera has quite a large 'drag area'.

Re: AMG C63 Estate v Macan Turbo
Thought about an AMG when buying a Macan but put off by a couple if things: Getting the power down esp when damp / wet. Had a 535D BMW which would just light up the rear wheels so easily in the wet. A C class AMG would, I assume, be even worse. AMG cars depreciate really badly. When deciding on the ...

Re: Porsche VTS + Porsche Connect on GTS
Incidentally, I'm not sure how people can forget the tracker fob, the car gives a dashboard warning if you start it without the fob. Didn't always work for me. Managed to drive off a couple of times without the tab without the car warning me. In one instance drove to a supermarket, spent an hour sh...
