Re: Tyre Choice

My GTS supplied in June this year had Goodyear fitted. Previous S came on Michelin’s.

Re: Seat belt warning

Did another check today, got passengers in the back and drove off without them fastening their seat belts, no audible alarm, just the display showing three red seatbelt indications, same as you get with no one in the rear. This display disappears after a minute so you would only know if people did d...

Re: How Will We Cope, When Petrol Stations Close ?

I live in the sticks too and the local electricity supply is already limited in capacity especially as they are busy building small groups of new houses in every village, and no one is paying to upgrade the grid in the area. At some stage when we all plug in our EV’s to fast charge overnight the gri...

Re: Lane Assist

I’ve got lane assist and after a few miles turned it off and have never turned it on again. Living in the countryside the roads are not good and have loads of potholes at the edges, so like everyone else around here we tend to drive towards the middle of the road if there is no other traffic nearby ...

Re: A/C fogging up car windows?

I’ve experienced fogging a couple of times, can’t remember the circumstances but a quick press of the demist button and it’s gone very quickly and doesn’t return. My climate control stays on auto all the time and the only change is to tweak the temperature up or down a degree or so, Mrs BBB often ha...

Re: Air or Bose??

My first Macan was an S with PASM and 19” wheels and I was very happy with it, I recently changed to a new GTS with air and on standard GTS 20” wheels. I think the ride on air and the bigger wheels is definitely better on the rough country roads but on main roads there is nothing in it. I’d definite...

Re: Is Non Bose a Deal Breaker?

Perfectly happy with the standard system on my earlier S and current GTS, it wasn’t even on my short list of possible options having had a drive in a car with the standard system. I mainly listen to DAB radio and occasionally stream from my iPhone. On the S I did have a large memory card full of mus...

Re: How Will We Cope, When Petrol Stations Close ?

We currently have the Macan GTS for longer journeys and a full electric Mini for running around locally. Just before they stop us buying pure ICE powered cars, and as long as I still have all my marbles, I plan to buy the biggest most powerful V8 engined car I can find, but by that time I suspect th...

Re: Seat belt warning

Sounds like mine works the same as MCKD’s car but I haven’t had anyone get in the back and not fasten their seat belt to see if it alarms when I drive off. I’ll wait and see, but suspect that the dealer doesn’t fully understand the system as no one has questioned this before. Will update in January ...
