The judder is also affected by tyre brand, size and temperature. My Panamera 20" summer tyres were awful in the winter, all resolved when I fitted 19" winetr tyres

It would be very worrying to find poor dent repairs, Wouldn't bode well for what else might have been done shoddily. I've had dents repaired on lots of cars over the years and the repairs were all but invisible even to me who knew where they were. I have watched the guys doing the repairs and there is a lot of skill involved, so lots of opportunity for a lesser skilled guy or girl to make a hash of it.

Hi All, after a few months of searching for the right spec car and not been successful. I have found an alternative. Although disappointed it's not a Macan as had my heart set on one, I've taken delivery of an almost new M4. It's got all the right spec and happy with the car.
Had a 3hrs drive back home yesterday through varying roads and weather conditions and its a good balanced car. Not been able to really try it out as its due the Run In service in next 150 miles.
Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone on the forum who helped in my search and I have learnt a lot. When the right times comes God willing I'm sure I'll also be able to tick the Macan box but for now big smiles with the M4.
Happy new year.

And another newbie , I swapped out of my 997 c4s of 4 years , now in Macan S with air suspension, Pam’s and a whole host of other goodies that are much fun . I am actually preferring just about everything in the Macan over 911 , maybe it’s an age thing ... plenty of power in diesel S all very usable too .Dombo wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 9:36 am 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. Luggage space is limited though.
Now to the Macan. The S has the same boot space as my Volvo V50 it's replacing. Roof rails will take a rack and four bikes easily, and mine also has a tow bar so I can fit a rear carrier if needed. It is about 5 inches taller than the Volvo so getting the bikes up shouldn't be too tricky - on a Discovery I have to stand on the rear wheel to do this or use a stool.
As for performance, 0-60 time is on a par with my 911 at 5-6 seconds but the Macan has pdk which is superb, not even caught out by sharp uphill bends, and in Sport mode is a lot of fun. Compared to its rivals what finally sold me on the Macan was the interior. To my mind it just looked much better than the equivalent X3, Q5 or Mercedes. I also am a big fan of physical buttons. I find these much easier to learn to use than wheels, trackpads or touchscreens.
My new purchase is used - I did not consider Turbo or GTS as the S has enough performance and versatility for what will be our main car.

Looks like a nice car but I don’t get it. You were looking for a high performance four door SUV and you pick a 2 door coupe that’s like going into a store to buy a suit and leaving with a pair of shorts. hey who cares enjoy the experience.J1220 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 1:44 pm Hi All, after a few months of searching for the right spec car and not been successful.
