Haha, thank you Orangebulldog, Alxgb, SAC1 and WingCo! :D The car is too tall by my standards as I have to stand on a step ladder to wash / dry the Macan's roof and windscreen. :oops: I don't think that the different wheel sizes would matter as the tyre profile then differs accordingly, so no change...

That I agree with, Scooby. The Macan is a really nice place to be in for long journeys.

It's just such a tall car, not that aerodynamic. Anyone know the drag coefficient difference between the two types of cars?

Ferrari FF, now GTC4 Lusso, would be my choice of a Ferrari family wagon. They look amazing and are reasonably practical. 😇 Yet, they are very rare. 🤔 This perfectly demonstrates how subjective the whole car business is. For me, that's not a "family wagon"; only 2 doors, restricted rear s...

Petrolicious do publish amazing photos on their website, don’t they! Always a pleasure to look at regardless of subject matter.

Living in the countryside I generally prefer SUVs over estates. They tend to ride the potholes better, more ground clearance for farm tracks and a better view over the hedges. Also easier to load small kids in/out. For me SUVs simply work better as a family wagon. Those are what led us to a SUV too...

Col Lamb, it is true that SUV's seem to have taken over from hatchbacks in popularity in UK lately. Very fashionable currently, in every guise. I actually find it easier to sit down in a lower saloon or an estate, but that's because we have 18-way seats in the Macan and you have to get over the side...

I agree with you on the 6.3l engine, one of the best sounding motors that AMG have produced. They did flood the market with it in the C63 saloon though ahead of the downsizing so reckon it's a good long termer. Yep, it's a Cayman R. I'm selling it in a few months and will be sad to do so but with t...

I tend to agree with Co that the Panamera ST would be a great choice and I would never touch another Mercedes. The sporting estate seems to be a class of car that is currently lacking in credible options so there is certainly an opportunity for someone there. Semerka, aren't all Porsches a little b...
