Having taken delivery of a car with standard sideblades, I just don't see the point on spending such a large sum on Carbon ones. The texture on the standard blades gives a good appearance.

Maybe just me, but am so so so disappointed with the red. (Good in a way as won't miss not having it now as did originally want it.) It really should have been a bright, "in your face red" IMHO.
Was beginning to regret specing the RS Spyders, and wishing I had gone with the 21"s, but you have restored my faith in them with your stunning pics Mark-yorkshire, so thanks. I know it's a personal point of view, but I really think the black makes the car look more stunning. <img src="https://www.macanforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley32.gif" align="middle" /> <img src="https://www.macanforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley32.gif" align="middle" /> <img src="https://www.macanforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley32.gif" align="middle" /> <img src="https://www.macanforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley32.gif" align="middle" />

Ger. you should be really glad that you did not wait for impulse red. Both IainS and I could not believe what a truly awful colour this is. Impulse red is only really suitable for Katie Price as it really is very pink. So far as the wheels are concerned I personally think the RS Spyders are the best wheels on offer at the moment. Everyone was concerned about ride quality with standard suspension but there is no need to worry as the ride is incredibly smooth.

Hopefully this link to the whole of my album should work

Lovely car mate, glad its got enough poke in the engine - I was beginning to worry a bit.

Its interesting looking at the many previous posts from months back when it was just a line drawing and then a couple of leaked spy shots and now people are collecting them. Quite a journey I'm sure we will all admit.

Not sure if I'm normal but I like the Aurum metallic but don't think I should.


The Aurum metallic does look very good. Shame the UK market is so conservative.

Always had non S models previously and all dials had black background. The grey centre dial on my Macan S Diesel is so washed out in appearance that the figures are very hard to see. Cannot really see the need to change from black as the grey is not even visually attractive.

We shall see how easy it is to get road grime out of those dimples after a few months of real world driving. I recon they will start to look shoddy after a while.

Cheers Paul. I must say so far the Macan has exceeded my expectations. Apart from the slightly too light steering the car really is superb. If the steering were slightly more weighty and the suspension slightly stiffer it would be perfect. I will try to get a drive of a Macan diesel with PASM at the Silverstone experience centre in order to see how that differs.
