In terms of performance and model position, you're right. In terms of price, I based it on the two-wheel drive 911 Carrera T, which is more expensive than a Carrera 4 but cheaper than a Carrera S.

Re: Macan 4?

As has been pointed out, 4 just means four-wheel drive. Unlike the existing model, Porsche explicitly using this implies that it could introduce a two-wheel drive model at a lower price point. While Porsche is unlikely to release all of these, this is how it typically names its models (in price poin...

Re: Edinburgh City Proposed SUV Ban!!!

Absolute nightmare 🙈🙈 Okay, nightmare 🙈🙈 might be an exaggeration! Frustrating and you've really got to pay a lot of attention.

Re: Edinburgh City Proposed SUV Ban!!!

Driving in Edinburgh has turned into a nightmare obstacle course over last few years. Coned-off cycle lanes, bus lane cameras, no left turns, no right turns, dead ends, tram lines, one way roads, planters in middle of the road (low traffic neighbourhoods). Today I saw someone drive into a coned-off ...

Re: "AUTO REST" button stays illuminated when the car is off?

Go on - press it and find out!! ;-) It just blows some hot air from the engine into the car. Keeps the car warm for up to 20 minutes after you turn the ignition off - using residual heat from the engine. Useful if you're just sitting in the car, or want to come back to a warm car after popping into ...

Re: EV Macan

Expect the new car to sit between the existing Macan and Cayenne in Porsche's line-up. Consider this a brand new model that arguably shouldn't be called a Macan.

Re: Finance options - soon to be decision time

Four things that will reduce the TCO: the higher the deposit, the lower the interest rate, the lower the final payment and the shorter the term. So, option 2 if these are the only options.

Re: Data package fail

I had the same issue with the spinning ball and then a data load failed message. However, it fixed itself after a couple of weeks.

Re: Nick's New Macan s v GTS video

I don't doubt that there's an extra 60 BHP somewhere that someone thrashing it around a race track would notice. Otherwise, I haven't noticed a perceptible acceleration difference between my GTS II and GTS III.
