Re: Rear Light Bar

Looks ok to me although I haven't encountered on at night. Is it also a brake light? One of my pet hates are drivers that sit in traffic with the foot on the brake blinding anyone behind. Of course, with the 'Hold' facility, this would never happen behind a Macan ;) This is one of many downsides to...

Do others agree with this? As I've always thought this was a must have... but then I've not yet owned an SUV!!

Re: Macan prices and delivery time?

Thanks guys - sounds like I will be ok to go to OPC in spring - and take it from there - If I go Macan - it will be a factory order. Me too, absolutely no point paying for around £12k worth of options that someone else has picked!! Don’t understand people paying well over £60k for a loaded 2.0 when...

Re: Fuel for my new Macan 2.0 Petrol

Personally I haven’t notice any performance advantage whatsoever in my 340i when I’ve tried super unleaded (of any brand/type) so when I get my 4 cylinder Macan I’ll stick with the same 95 RON fuel I use now!

Re: Fuel for my new Macan 2.0 Petrol

I always try to fill with the recommended "correct fuel". It should run better and will possibly get slightly better MPG. I'll bet most dealers fill with the cheapest fuel available. The better mpg you MAY get with the more expensive fuel will nowhere near compensate for the additional co...

Re: 19 Wheels + PASM - is it a necessity! !

So many people seem to ask whether PASM is necessary for comfort on larger wheels! I’ve never been a fan of ride comfort, preferring a nice firm ride (don’t know why, maybe I like feeling what’s going on at the road surface... adds to the driving experience) But some say it gives a better handling c...

Re: Prices disappeared from Confuserator!

I suspect the disappearance of pricing is GB increase related or Co2/WLTP issues. I know that Jan/Feb build 2019 cars are all embargoed until into March... My new Macan delivered in December came with a type approval certificate showing both WLTP and NEDC So, here is the actual WLTP data for my Mac...

Re: Prices disappeared from Confuserator!

My order for a new Macan S and confirmed spec. went through on 17th December. I had paid a deposit of £3,000 back in February, when I first got in the queue. I am now worried that, due to 'Brexit and the possible fall in value of the UK Pound, that the price will or could soar astronomically. Do Fo...

Re: Welcome from a New Macan owner :-)

Hi Folks, Thought i'd say high. Although i've been in the Porsche fold for 30 Years this is my first Macan. It was a slight impulse purchase, but I 'needed' a new everyday drive ! I Had a Tiguan R-Line on order but, my VW dealer wasn't 'entirely 'honest with delivery dates, so contacted my Dealer P...
