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
Nope hers is on 21” turbos

It was noticeable worse

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???
We both know just how good crayon looks in real life. The closest media that’s come anywhere near to what our eyes see is the Porsche video releases in July (the ones by the lake etc)

We will be very happy playing with our crayons mate 👍🏻

I like crayon but my wife hates it, it’s a bit of a chameleon colour, changes based on light. She found it looked beige or grey and took a disliking whereas I think it looks awesome with black wheels.

So we compromised and went dolomite, safer but also less chameleon like

My first Macan was Crayon.
I thought it actually suited duller days and gives that nice flat paint look.
On sunny days it just looked a bit boring as it didn't catch the light being flat.
It reminded me of my Nardo RS3-again looked great when dull weather but a bit bland in sunlight.
I definitely rate crayon it as a colour though.
After initially disliking Carmine it's now my order colour for my Gen3 GTS.
Looks better everytime I see it.

Pic on my previous Crayon if it helps

Finally, a papaya one. Have to say, that looks very brown.

I agree, though I expect it looks better when the sun shines, which isn’t very often in the UK 🤣

Not liking Papaya in those pics and with a little dirt on a dull day it won’t look good at all.

I originally specced Papaya but changed to Gentian when I saw pics and videos of Papaya on Panamera
