I am somewhat sad to see the Porsche go as it has been a lovely car to own and super reliable.

So why on earth buy a Range Rover? On my trips up and down the M4, the cars I see most often broken down are 10 year old Vauxhall Corsas and Range Rovers of any age.

Re: Insurance

Just to throw in another aspect to be aware of: Before I retired, the nature of my job meant that I could be working at either of 2 company offices about 5 miles apart. My company, as a "duty of care", made me aware that normal SDP&Commuting insurance may not cover travel to 2 differen...

Not NO rated though.
But irrelevant if you don't have an extended warranty.
I thought the N rating meant the tyre's characteristics were tailored to the car. So not just a warranty issue?

Re: Power steering plus

Like so many things, this comes down to personal perception. I had my Gen1 Turbo upgraded to PSP and found it a a lot better for parking. Others see no benefit. The only way for you to answer your question is to test-drive a couple of similar Macans, one with and one without PSP and take them around...

Re: Porsche Swindon or Porsche Reading

I'll be taking my 2020 GTS to Swindon in April for its 4 yr service. I've previously (on my Gen 1 Turbo) used Guildford or Reading - this will be my 1st time at Swindon. They're further from me (1hr rather than 1/2 hr) but came in £300 cheaper for the 4yr service which included PDK fluid change. Th...

Re: Residuals

In 22 I bought a Tesla and 2 years later the residuals are painful, in todays world, is it the same for all cars (electric and ICE)? No, EVs are suffering very high rates of depreciation right now. This is largely because of the rapid pace of product development; newer EVs are significantly better ...

What's the secret? How do you get your cars from A to B and keep them spotless?
