Couldn’t work out how to put in manual transmission either - couldn’t push lever left like gen 2 and no button like 992

Small button marked M+ and - on left hand side of steering wheel.

I've ordered Crayon but get what you're saying. It looks nothing like the photos in the flesh though. Even on the posted ones above it looks beige on the side shot then grey on the rear shot immediately below???

It will be fine once they get the semi-conductor and can put the top paint of colour on it :lol:

Unless the semi conductor is faulty then it could come out pink!

First thoughts



Ride was rougher without air, noticeable.

Faults including Bluetooth not working properly
Heated wheel didn’t work either.

I have been thinking about your ride comment. As far as I can see this new Gen3 S on 21's . I suspect your wife's Gen 2 on 20's? So wheel size as well as lack of air suspension could be contributing to worse ride. and I suspect the major factor.

I feel similar about not changing from my 2019 S ( on 20's with air) at this stage. I would like the 2.9 litre v6 but gains very marginal with Uk traffic as it is. I am planning to extend the warranty on my 2019 and in three years time will only have done around 50k. I may have a hard think around time for final Gen3 Macan orders in late 2023 early 24

I'm happy with that. It'll remind me of my hearing aid beige Morris Marina coupé that I started my motoring adventures in!!!

I wonder if I could get a black vinyl roof too?!?!!?
