So early impressions then are unsurprisingly good, 250 miles done already. Some random thoughts.

Dealer pick up was 'okay' - only downsides were a) two missing valve caps spotted when I got home and b) there is one piece of door trim that isn't a perfect fit that will need rectifying - but I'll see if any faults or rattles develop over the first few weeks before i get it looked at. Had half a tank of fuel and even at the death, the Sales Manager was trying to sell me Gap, even after i explained i had it from ALA at a fraction of their inflated price - he then revealed my SE was leaving that day and I was his final handover.

The ride is really, really good on 21's with PASM - I imaging those with air and smaller wheels are in limo luxury. Tyre noise is unobtrusive.

Tech with Connect + took a bit of getting used to compared to idrive - the kids soon sorted that out and before I knew it were streaming spotify via the car wifi and playing it via bluetooth (is that the easiest way???)

The towbar is ace - twice the speed of 'erection' compared to previous BMW - will have the bike rack on it next weekend.

Got a big bag with three bottles of ad blue - but no flowers for the wife.

Spotify is also a CarPlay compatible app so you can stream it via CarPlay if your phone is connected via the USB in the armrest.
No longer part of the Porsche Family. Now enjoying a Giulia Quadrifoglio.

My dealer experience was poor too, however the car however is wonderful and I would buy another, just from somewhere else.


These are comments that I would not expect to hear about any Porsche dealer. I would hope that Porsche ask and address the issues as to why.

Hi PJS - I raised a previous thread when I noticed my door trim misaligned.

Have a look and tell me if this is similar to yours: http://www.macanownersclub.co.uk/forum/misaligned-door_topic5576.html
