Re: Macan GTS Order Placed - opinions please

Only thing I would suggest is drop the Comfort Access, purely from a theft prevention aspect. Going away from the Standard GTS suspension setup sort of negates the whole reason for buying a GTS in the first place. Think of the option as a GTS with standard S suspension. Thumbs up for including the S...

Re: Possible future owner

Welcome MACAN. Model variant to suit your lifestyle. Gen 1 Macan’s had limited standard fittings ie no mobile phone, no rear seat heating, no sat nav, a very basic PCM, so I now call these Gen 1A. Gen 1B (early 2016) had rear seat seat heating, mobile phone prep, and an updated PCM included as stand...

Re: Sunroof not operating

If the prior suggestion does not work I’d open the roof a bit using the manual system. The opening/closing handle is in the fuse box lid, look in the manual for the detail. Do count the number of turns you use to open the pano and use the same number to close it. This will check for ease of movement...

Re: Tesla Wrongful Death Trial Starts

I remember when I was speccing my Macan last year I searched forums for feedback on the Adaptive Cruise Control and, while there were some comments about the system unexpectedly braking sharply, there was one guy who complained that it had done so while he was navigating a roundabout (not sure if t...

Re: Tesla Wrongful Death Trial Starts

A very significant step indeed. I wonder what Tesla had by way of guidance then in using the Autopilot system v what its guidance is today? I can certainly see a place for autonomous driving i.e. on a Motorway but only if all other vehicles have the feature operated and they all communicate to each ...

Re: Macan GTS - spec opinions & avoiding tinted glass

I have the Acoustic/Thermal glass (which is brilliant) and it is tinted. Depending on the angle it can look light or dark as you can see in the two photos below. There’s an option for Acoustic Glass on its own, and one for Acoustic Glass + Privacy Glass. Do you by any chance have the combined Acous...
