Re: Bad design of seat backs

This has puzzled me. On our MY2017 S the seat back on the passenger side (no comfort entry) is concave whilst the one on the driver side (with comfort entry) is convex. I cannot see how reclining the passenger seat could have made the seat back concave in this way, even with the rear seat back fold...

Re: Spotted the most appropriate reg plate ever...

Numerous times shortly before taking delivery of our S we parked next to a very shiny Mazda, reg MX54JOY. I don't go in for personalised plates, but when I saw a reg with the letters ODE on the list of numbers offered by the OPC I had to have it. Sadly, we never saw the Mazda again.

Re: Macan Diesel EGT Valve

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 if a fault comes to light before you have had the vehicle 6 months you are entitled to a repair, replacement or refund. Under this law it is assumed that the fault was present at the time of purchase unless the seller can prove otherwise. Unless you agree otherwise...

Re: Fourteen way seats

Well spotted. But it doesn't explain why the seat backs are different, and different in a different way to the 14 way seats. If there's a logic to the passenger seat back being inward curving with 14 way seats, whilst the driver's seat is outward curving, why are the standard seats the opposite way ...

Fourteen way seats

A bit of trivia really, but puzzling. At the weekend our eagle-eyed daughter spotted that the plastic shells on the back of the front seats are different shapes. The passenger seat curves inward about halfway down, but the driver's seat back curves out. Curious, she then searched Macan reviews, and ...

Re: Nav girl pronunciation

My favourite is Way-eece - for Wales - when joining the M4 westbound from Bath. To be fair, Wales is mis-spelt in the system as Waies.

Re: Insurance 30% hike...

Premiums can be surprisingly sensitive to small reductions in estimated annual mileage. I've previously tended to err a bit on the high side with my estimate, but this year was able to reduce the renewal premium with NFU by 5% after shaving off a couple of thousand miles. The policy T&Cs state t...
