Yes just ask Land Rover/Range Rover owners about that although they don’t even have to be wait that long for it to be a liability.

Well... my previous car happens to be a Range Rover Sport. 180.000km in three years and no problems with the air suspension. Lots of engine stuff gone wrong though... The macan on the other hand...

In 9 years my X5 has two air bags replaced and a compressor. The compressor I attribute to the Service Centre not setting the sensors correctly and the thing compressed itself to death.

I had an X5 before the RRS for three years too. Absolutely faultless car. Might be next one again 🤔

That reminds me, the X5 broke the tips off the front coils. Didn't bother fixing them. Passed the MoT with them. My stone lane is savage.

Got the Macan back thursday morning :). Air compressor changed under warranty, no questions asked and all very professional and friendly. So as a 1.200 km test run, we loaded it up with our skies and left for the swiss alps for the rest of the week. Faultless again and somehow love it even more now. Missed the little beast. 👍
