Ran into that exact issue yesterday when I thought I'd give it a quick wash. ;) :|

Great to hear that you're a happy Macaneer, Saffa! 😊

I agree with you on the standard stereo too. Perfectly good, in my view. I've only listened to the radio so far in my first 2,000+ miles. Mostly R4 too πŸ€“ For me, the extra cost of Bose or Burmeister could not be justified. I preferred to spend the £££s on the paint. πŸ˜‚

Yep, also agree on the standard stereo. No problem cleaning sport design wheels, so it's worth considering those if you're upgrading.

Glad you're enjoying your new Macan. We're still enjoying ours 7 months and 3800 miles on. It still puts a smile on my face every time I turn the key in the ignition.

Great to hear Saffa + glad that the many positives really outweigh the few negatives.

Know what you mean about engine sound etc during regen cycle and it is an acquired listen! Was a lot easier to confirm with previous diesels which had "instant mpg" readouts on trip comp as could see figure dropping to around 20 mpg when it should have been 40+ etc! I reckon once you've run it in over 1k miles your driving style will significantly reduce the cycles.

Re storage - I use my storage pack extra places a lot but one area I find really useful is the space under the boot mat in front of the spare. I put loads of stuff in there (so not mixed in with normal boot stuff) that I might have had in glove box etc thus freeing up more inside space for stuff I might need when driving.

Can confirm the lovely ride on the 18"s (Inc PASM) and you can more or less treat kerbs with disdain + with being bigger tyres I think they look really nice after I've treated 'em with Autoglym Tyre Dressing every month or so!

20000 miles and almost 2 years with 20" aftermarket wheels and air, great ride and look, have never came close to knowing if it is regenerating or not.

Great right up and echoes a lot of others who are very pleased with their Macans. Love my GTS everytime I start it.

19" or even 20" ride well and just give it that sportier look too πŸ‘
