I love the new look of the forum and want to extend a thanks to Rob for helping me out.
Ok, so once I've paid off my balloon payment on my Evoque, I'm seriously considering a Macan with the help of Mr Clydesdale.
Ideally, I'm looking at an SD with PASM and possibly air on 20's (although I could probably buy a set of 20's second hand). Sat Nav is pretty much an obvious thing to look out for, but I'd be thankful for any "essential" items within a used budget of under £45K that I could search for.
A few questions (and I apologise if they've been asked before, but I couldn't easily find the answers):
- How long is the standard warranty on Macans? I assume that I'd need to stick with OPC services and approved tires within that period.
- AdBlue - I read somewhere this is used in SDs and the engine basically stops working when there's none left. Is this in any way a concern? I doubt it, but then I've never really come into contact with the stuff before.
- Was the engine involved in the emissions scandal? I didn't think it was, but I saw a report on Honest John that someone's MPG took a nose-dive after the emissions fix was applied. If the fix is "a thing", is this something that I need to be concerned about in looking at used cars?
- Is Apple CarPlay standard on all models?
So, I'm getting bored of driving the Evoque (which is really just a tarted up Freelander, after all) and want something practical and yet involving.
Thanks for any advice that comes my way and I look forward to getting the new car later on in the year.
Pete.
