On my wife’s Gen 3 the camera wash only seems to activate when in reverse gear

Yes you are right.

I've never detected its presence in my Gen 2. Usually keep a tissue handy for that reason!

About time I updated this thread.
I went to the opc yesterday which great as I had a test drive in the Macan S and the chance to see a good few colours options combos etc.

Deposit is down and whilst I haven’t got a slot yet I’m a returning customer and they have told me barring any real issue they’ll get me a car to arrive by September 22 latest.

For me I want a balance between a really nice spec and not taking a money no object approach!

My current spec has been further revised to:
PN3M2KZ2
http://www.porsche-code.com/PN3M2KZ2

I am still deliberating on a few bits:

COLOUR! This is the main stress!

Body coloured side pods

Adaptive cruise - now removed in a book balancing choice, whilst I like it I don’t use it that much.

Annoyingly the clear rear light bar also looks much better to my eyes..

I found yesterday really insightful and in no particular order here are the standout takeaways:

I’m coming from a Jag F Pace SVR.

The Macan is quick enough but it made me realise how fast the Jag is and the engine is a masterpiece.

However, the Macan on 21s and Air suspension rode amazingly and was night and day compared to the Jag.

The Macan feels much more modern and in the S3 is a lovely balance of modern whilst retaining some proper buttons!

Surprisingly, I prefer the look with the roof rails so these have now been specd.

Like the 911 Turbo design wheels so added these for a small cost more.

18 ways felt amazing to both myself and the wife so now added.

Demo didn’t have sports exhaust and I think sounded fine. It did have Chrono but this just reconfirmed that I would use it.

Reversing camera confirmed as fine for our needs.

I had no issue with the standard steering wheel - wife claimed it was a bit of a dinner plate! So GT now specd.

Emergency braking comes with ACC so be aware of that.

I have grave misgivings over that statement, something does but it might not meet everybody's definition sadly.

Dannyp wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 2:08 pm I know many will disagree, but I am not a fan of features like ACC that can actually brake for you. It's annoying enough when people pull in too close after overtaking! It woud be infuriating if the car actually braked for me as well! I don't like the lane keeping assist either tbh. Maintaining a safe distance from traffic and lane discipline seem to be to be just part of driving? As I say - others may differ ...
