New Blue Macan

[Hot Wheels]

Thanks for all the kind comments. After the long wait I certainly intend to keep the car for quite a few years…. With no intention of going electric in the foreseeable future (who wants to try driving from Hampshire to the wilds of Scotland with an electric car?).

Quite a wait you had.

Love the colour. We have an Audi TT in similar colour. I have lost count of the number of people who have said "love the colour"

Turbo blue? , nearly bought my previous S3 in that colour, wife wasn’t keen on it.

I think it is Turbo blue. It was quite rare a few years ago. Looks great on most cars.

Looks great on the TT, better than on A3 imo. My wife’s friend has just took delivery of a turbo blue black edition TT , looks really smart

Lovely looking car. Can I ask what put you off speccing sports chrono?

When I had the Macan I thought S/C was a nice to have but ended up a bit of a gimmick as I hardly ever used it. A sports button would have been more than enough along with pasm button.
Conversely, now in a 992, I use it several times per drive although it is a little more configurable.
Not sure the Macan misses anything by not having chrono??

My "S" doesn't have SC, but after 5 months and about 3000 miles I can't think of a situation where I would have used it. The acceleration on the "S" gives you warp factor 4 instantly, and a quick glance at the speedo does amaze/frighten me on occasion.

Love the colour.

I use my SC on every journey and the instant change in gearbox and suspension together simply cannot be replicated using haptics or buttons. I also have an individual setting that moves the gearbox to SPORTS but the suspension to SPORTS++. Near impossible to fiddle with centre controls to make that happen in a split second. I definitely wouldn't buy any Porsche without SC

P.S. Does a Macan without SC even have SPORTS PLUS?

Couldn’t agree less

Only on the suspension setting. Engine/gearbox Sport only. I don't know if setting the suspension in S+ affects the engine/gearbox.
