Traction Control

With ptv+ you get an electronically controlled limited slip differential at the back. But in any case, the abd should be enough to get you unstuck when the front is spinning.

Bi Xenon or LED

One more thing to keep in mind is that the LEDs have 3 lenses per headlight vs one for the Xenons. That's without counting the side lights. I haven't done a side by side comparison, but I would expect this to give you better coverage of the road ahead. And indeed as others have commented above, the ...

Auxiliary Heater

I miss that feature too. It's not climate related, it's just not available for right hand drive cars. One more example that Porsche cut some corners bringing the macan to the UK.

One month of ownership

Good to see people worrying about not blinding the driver behind them with their break lights, but I don't think that's a problem with the macan, the break light is just an outline, not solid, it's solid lights that most often are annoying. Would be surprised if people minded the macan lights

Halogen H7 upgrade.

i am pretty sure this invalidates your cover, unless the insurer ok's it. insurers will find any excuse not to pay..ldn20162017-01-04 23:32:41

Start/stop not working

Ok, one more question on this, I noticed that, counterintuitively, when the battery voltage is high (around 15V), start/stop doesn't engage, despite all conditions being met, etc. When the voltage is down to 12-13V start/stop engages regularly. Does your voltage get that high? ldn20162016-12-20 23:5...

PCM Traffic Updates

It may be worth mentioning, that even with Connect+ the PCM Navigator gets traffic info only for main roads. So if you get stuck on the motorway, you may be diverted to a B road that PCM thinks its clear but it's not and you get stuck there. You need to use apple maps to get proper traffic, but I fi...

Start/stop not working

Hi all, thanks for your responses, just an update, it's now unlikely the problem is related to temperature, I drove for about an hour on Friday evening in traffic, it was about 8C and start/stopped worked at every traffic light. Yesterday drove up to Milton Keynes from London and back. It was around...

Start/stop not working

I know a few of you would be very happy if start/stop never engaged in your car, however, I often drive in traffic and I like it. It also makes several mpg difference in bad traffic.So, start/stop stopped working on my 7month old Macan Turbo about a month ago. I may drive for an hour and it may enga...
