Hmmm..

18" wheels = least expensive bag, but practical, and comfortable to wear/carry

21" wheels = gorgeous designer bag - looks great, but maybe less practical than the 18". Most expensive too.

This has been a really enjoyable and interesting thread. I’ve been a member of this forum for about 2 years now and a Macan owner for a year (in 4 days time). I found this forum invaluable when speccing my car, for general knowledge and help in both speccing and ownership, and great fun for a bit of banter about Macans, Porches, other marques and general “stuff”. Everyone has always been friendly and welcoming both on the forum and in person when I had the pleasure of meeting other members in person at Beaulieu.

As for a crap Macan... the great thing about these cars is that we can spec them exactly as we want them, so every car is just right for its owner. From that perspective no Macan is crap. I’m very happy with my Macan and it speaks volumes that so few people on this forum regret their choice of car. Whatever your variant, enjoy it and welcome! :D

I think that in an infinite universe, there must be a crap Macan.

It's more likely to be a high base spec, but with conflicting options, or options that remove everything that comes as standard as part of the base. Or one that has winter tyres but operated in Dubai.... That's got to be fairly crap.

Let's see if I can make one....

Ok, I think this is crap.

Why?
Because it's a Turbo PP and so expensive, but with none of the bits and bobs you'd expect with a performance variant.
It's also an eyesore. Inside and out.

If someone said they've placed this order, the forum would descend on them like a ton of bricks, insisting that so many essential things are missing, that the colour is hideous, and internal trims clash.

There would be lots of damning praise like "oh, it's lovely, but not for me." Or the classically dismissive "each to their own."

On the other hand, mahogany, with aurum and sapphire trims, red seats and saddle brown seat belts and luxor dials is growing on me :)

I think "crap" isn't the right word actually... "Travesty" is a better word.
