Re: Collected at weekend
Spec is Black with agate leather - a sort of browny-grey, which is nicer than it sounds. Wheels are the standard 18 inch and it also has sport chrono so Sport Plus button as well as Sport. Then there's the useful things like roof rails to fit a bike rack and a cool electric towbar if I ever need to ...

Collected at weekend
Picked up my Porsche Approved Macan S at the weekend. Great service from Porsche Newcastle and a nice long drive down south via Hartside Pass and M6. This ia my first ever automatic, and I have to say, the PDK in Sport mode made a much better job dealing with the twisty A686 than I ever could in man...

Re: Macan - PCP negotiating
Let's not forget that as, presumably, higher rate tax-payers with a marginal rate around 50%, we need to double all these borrowing rates to compare with what we are earning on our investments. I am also assuming that as savvy types we have been shovelling the maximum into our ISAs each year. So a 5...

Re: Looking to buy
Looks a nice car. Wouldn't worry too much about Bose as the standard sound system is pretty good. Would be nice to have sports chrono and LED lights though. LED and Sports Chrono would be very nice indeed. I prefer to buy from a private seller especially 1 owner car as i can get good idea what the ...

Re: Looking to buy
Hi. I am also a newbie here. I have a convertible 911 and am about to pull the trigger on an Approved Macan S. As regards practicality, the 911 with roof down will sit 4 adults around the 5'8 - 5'11 mark. Four six footers would struggle. In winter just turn the heater to max and wear a woolly hat. L...

Re: air conditioning grille guards
Slight thread revival by a newbie here - I had grills fitted to my 996 by 9e after the radiators and a/c condensers were replaced. They are very unobtrusive, sitting behind the bumper, and do not affect airflow. They also do sets for Macans. But given how much higher the vents are on the Macan, is s...

Used Macan petrol or diesel?
Hi all, potential Macan owner here. Currently have a '61 diesel V50 as main car, Fiat 500 Twinair runaround, and 996 cab for fun so not entirely new to Porsche. Macan would replace the Volvo. I was wondering whether to go petrol or diesel - mileage is around 12k a year, mix of shopping and the odd m...
