Mr JWW buys a Macan Turbo Performance Pack
We need room for 4 full sized hard cases and 4 carry-ons without folding any seats down. The Macan failed this test miserably. The only similar sized cars we tried that passed this test were the new Volvo XC60 and Discovery Sport. We certainly don't travel light though!gtipirelli wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 11:27 am Agree that 3 adults with luggage may well not fit if they are over for hols but we are a family of 4 and I can get two suitcases stood on their sides (20kg cases) and 3 carry on cases for the overhead lockers on a plane in to the boot without removing the rear parcel shelf
Admittedly the boot is full but reckon I could get another large case in with the rear shelf removed if we wanted. How much more room do you need

We’re all in the habit of packing far too much stuff. When you’re travelling by bike you soon learn to pack small. And as RuinAir keep piling on the rip-offs for luggage it’s surprising what you realise you can manage without!

Crikey, dunno what the heck you lot are packing but I've taken old mattresses to the tip, pushchairs and assorted baby stuff with no issue. Why would you buy a Macan in the first place if you were a wanting luggage space for a Bedouin?
Dolomite Silver 'S' with red leather 14 way seats, Pano roof, Bose, Air suspension with pasm, Chrono pack, PDLS, Surround view, 911 turbo wheels, heated screen, spare wheel, ioniser,75 lt tank, black tail pipes, black roof rails.
Luggage expands to fill the available space. I'm normally one rucksack and what won't fit in stays at home.
This weekend it's drums, guitar, marmite, peanut butter, tea bags, endless clothes. We're off to Nice / Ardeche
to see the children and they've given a long list since we're not going Ryan Air.
It barely fits in the dining room let alone the car.

Ha ha, agree that the Macan will never carry that lotPeteski wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 11:51 amWe need room for 4 full sized hard cases and 4 carry-ons without folding any seats down.

I came from a Golf GTi as our family car for 5 years so perfected the ‘if it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t go’ way of packing. Hence why we find the Macan dimensions quite generous. Having said that, our daughter has just hit teenage and the makeup bag has grown exponentially

Thanks for sharing, Hawkeye. Kind of makes me want to see what other Porsche stuff he’s done...

He did mention a GT3 in the video. Looks like he owns a nice Ferrari too.
