Power steering plus

Low speed manoeuvring is easier, lighter, less movement in the wheel.

EPAS generally makes for a numb feel, and the + (variable speed rack) is a bit annoying when trying to make progress on twisty bits.

As EPAS systems go though, it's pretty good. I've not tried a Macan without.

Hello to one and all!

Nothing is a must. Just imagine yourself with and without the various bits of bobs and ask yourself if you'd be happy. Ditto your family. If you end up with a larger price than you expected, prioritise the list, consider spending more, or drop things.Personally, I favour oily bits over cosmetics, bu...

I'm glad they're gone. Was pondering getting a set for my summer tyres and use my SDs for winters, but this has saved me money :)

It bothers me also that sometimes the parking sensor display is the right way up, and sometimes on its side.
Not enough for me to de-spec it though.

Great OPC Customer Care

Good to hear that. I've always thought that OPC's tend to give you a loan car that is a natural step up to yours, just to get you thinking. So in this case when you get your Macan do you start thinking I did like the extra space in the Cayenne. Probably works on a few customers and generates a sale...

Help my OCD

Porsche interiors have got to be some of the laziest and unergonomic of all premium brands... Porsche should offer a "Not Stupid" interior pack to put buttons and controls in the right place and proportional to their actual use.I mean how much space do you need to control the ventilation? Two thirds...

What annoys me is the RHD car doesn't have the driver-focused buttons (drivetrain, chassis, stability) on the drivers side :/

New colour?

Yea, from cold blueish grey under showroom lights to beigey-brown in sunlight.
