Obvious question I guess, but what in particular don't you like about it?

And what is your planned replacement going to be?

The Macan replaced a BMW 340i touring, another great car, that in always impressed but never really gelled with me but I kept for a long time. Prior to that I had a long string of Golf GTi type of cars that I swapped every 3-4 years. In parallel I've driven Cayman S purchased in 2014 and still owned because it's so good, it always puts a smile on my face.

The Macan was purchased after three test drives, and chosen over the others on the (diverse) shortlist because it drove well and felt very familiar as it shares much of the controls (dial pack, stalks, general operating logic) with the Cayman I know so well. I can overlook some of the minor niggles, but for me what really hasn't worked is the sheer baulk of the car and elevated driving position. I've never owned an SUV before, or driven one for more than a day. I really haven't taken to it, hence me saying it just isn't my cup tea. It's a reluctant decision to let the car go as its so good.

I haven't thought about a replacement yet, I'll use the Cayman as my DD and take my time to find another car.

Different perspective here as a fellow 2014 Cayman driver, also used as a DD... for many years.

My wife had an SUV for 7 years prior to the current Macan S, a BMW X1. The X1 is a little smaller, slimmer, slower than the Macan but I guess that's why I'm happy... moving from one SUV to another slightly larger SUV.

Having had a few hatchbacks myself in the distant past I have thought that the Macan drives like one, the way it corners, only bigger, as you say.

What's left on the shopping list?

Yep, understand. I'm the complete opposite, having had SUVs for sometime. Incidentally, have you offered it back to the OPC?

Posted here and FB group and have contacted OPC and waiting for their buyer to get back to me.

I’ll also try Motorway etc if i don’t get a buyer using my initial routes.

Sorry to hear that - but understandable. The Macan is a deceivingly 'large' car - in that it doesn't look large, but when you're behind the wheel it sure feels it sometimes.

I came from an Audi S3 (So similar to your Golf GTI in size) to my GTS, and for the first few months the size of the Macan terrified me in some tight situations.

I can say at nearly the 12 month mark I'm fully used to it now and it doesn't bother me so much. It's not like it's unique to the Macan - others on my shortly (RS4 mainly) are just as wide, slightly longer, just not as tall!

Good luck with the sale - lovely spec.

Suggest you also contact Matt at Prestige Performance (Yorkshire), as they bought my last two cars, including my Macan S, at very competitive prices, and they were a pleasure to do business with
