I suppose when it is a solo job they do save on the mess.

Annoying features of the Macan

+1 for those who are disheartened and still waiting.My current Audi Q3 180bhp TDi and has only one fault, it has a tendency to wonder off line on the motorway. Thats all that is wrong with the car.In nearly two years ownership from new faults requiring action by the dealer ZERO.XType Jaguar, 10 year...

Jaguar F-Pace

I agree
I had a 3 litre X Type and initially the service was great but two name changes of the same dealership saw it go to a dismal service level.
No matter how good the F-Pace is it is still going to require service and as its a Jaguar there will be things wrong with it.

Jaguar F-Pace

We went to Manchester Trafford Centre today and there on display was the new Jaguar F-Pace in S form.Impressions, externally it looks the part and the finish was excellent. Internally to me it is too much bland plastic, the instruments look good with a lot of LCD panel area The seats were electric a...

Inaccurate Trip Computer

Remember all the Porsche engineers ultimately work for VW and we know how good they are when producing accurate software.

Who has a GTS nailed down date?

Depends on the quality of your local Jag dealer, I have low expectations from mine.My Jag off the road for three weeks because they could not fit it in to their schedule. Previously 6 week lead time for servicing and no guarantee of a loan.Be warned if you end up with the jag get service leads, loan...

FUEL and VED COSTS

Just because there is a diesel Macan does not mean that somehow it does not bring a smile to your face. My Wife had white knuckles for all of our out of town drive during our last test drive along fast sweeping country roads in the S diesel. OK so I would like an extra 50-60bhp and a 0-60 time one s...

FUEL and VED COSTS

30mpg out of a 3.0 petrol engine especially the turbo could be wishfull thinking On the Macan.com forum the guys in the USA seem to be getting an average of 21 imperial mpg out of their Turbos and not much more for the S. Why have a Turbo if you are not going to use its power? If the diesel produced...
