Re: Brand New second hand to me Porsche Macan :)

Car looks superb!
FWIW mine doesn't have sidesteps - but I think they look great on yours.
Do they actually help with access do you think - or more of a style choice?

Headlights "Fix"

Hi I've noticed a couple of posts here about the headlights being a bit of a let-down. I felt the same for a while. They were only any use at all on full beam - and even when not on full beam I was often getting flashed by oncoming vehicles. The solution??? I changed the setting from L/R hand drive ...

Leaf Blowers for Drying???

Hi I noticed recently a post asking about best drying cloths. One response recommended an air dryer as an alternative. I think it cost about £300 ! :shock: :shock: :shock: Has anybody tried using a cheap leafblower for car drying? I'm thinking about something like a Makita 18V at about £65? The idea...

Re: Engine Control Fault

But apart from all that - how come you are showing a range of 403 miles and tank not even full??? :D

Mine only ever shows range of 380 miles on full tank! :shock:

Re: Interesting loan car

I was very impressed with it. :-) Bottom line for me though is that I couldn't justify paying the extra for it over my 2022 MACAN S? If the price were the same, I'd be tempted though ;) Same here, but I need more than price parity, its gotta have equal range and ease of refuelling. Am I being unrea...

Re: Macan EV Official Launch Date!

25th January 2024. https://electrek.co/2024/01/15/porsche-macan-ev-due-out-next-week/ Is this when all the ICE versions become yesterdays news and drop a couple of grand in value?? 🫢 I played about with the configurator, and found that a base Macan EV with a similar spec to my 2022 S came out at ab...

Re: Interesting loan car

I had one as a loaner as well last year.

I was very impressed with it. :-)

If the price were the same, I'd be tempted though ;)

Re: Took this beauty for a test drive yesterday

I was expecting a review of a Macan E!!! :D This was far more exciting! I did the same thing out of Goodwood in the autumn. It's definitely going to be an annual event for me from now on - aged 63 I'm "doing what I can while I can"! Goodwood have an excellent "real cockpit" spitf...

Parking Assist Re-program?

Hi My 2022 S is booked in for a re-program of the park assist system - which I assume means something is up with the sensors or cameras (?) The dealer informed me it was a recall item. Does anybody know what the issue is? Will it still fuinction accurately/reliably in the interim??? Many thanks D
