worries of no spare wheel.

I have the 18" optional spare. Swopping should take 20min max, as long as I can get the nuts off. As long as you also have a suitable jack and wheel brace to go along with the purchased collapsable spare.When we had Boxster if i recall correctly there was also a bag to put the faulty wheel in so the...

19 Macan Design

When I swapped I was relieved that that the 19" rims didn't look too weedy relative to the 21". Thanks that's good to know, as it's quite a trip to my OPC or hassle to arrange by phone to visit when they have both wheel combinations in just to see and judge them.I know its a bit late if you've chan...

When and where have you ordered yours from? And expected delivery time?

Hi Gleneagles,

Placed a deposit at the Essex of the North OPC, Wilmslow.
I told the OPC I was willing to wait until March / Apr 2106 and was advised there was a long list
but that date should not be a problem. I'll wait and see.

Why are so many people ging for 20" Spyders??The wheel looks far too busy for me, and a P41N in the arse to clean most weekends! Agreed about the spyders ( IMHO too fussy and a P41N to clean). I like the 21" Sport Classics but will prob end up with 20" Sport design or 19" Turbo wheels with all seaso...

help with protecting polished spiders for winter

Spud, You will find each company has it own preferred or affiliated chemicals and products to use i.e CQuartz.Have you had a problem with a previous car ?I am being totally honest here, in my own experience of buying 16 brand new cars since 1987 VW(3), Honda (5), BMW Mini (2) , Mercedes(1), Porsche(...

help with protecting polished spiders for winter

Jon, had a demo Macan for the weekend, and it definitely doesn't fit in the garage, so no need for me to buy a heavy duty hoist now! Diet starts early Jan!! Hi David B , No chance of fitting an electric garage door behind the pillars to increase the garage entrance width to maximum ? Or is the Maca...

Diesel S - first impressions

Coastiing will be no problem for me as I always disable stop/start.


My test drive experience of coasting.

What ever car I drive I always disable the stop/ start and did so on my Macan Test Drive and
the "Coast" function still activated however I found if you used "Cruse" it did not.

Running in

I have never run an engine in and never had any issues. Lets be honest, these engines are designed to do 100's of thousands of miles, I would be surprised if any of us on here will reach six figures before swapping into a new one, so any later in life problems wont be yours. I bought a new Boxster w...
