Always nice to get the first wash of a new car- strangely satisfying and always good to get a close look of the paintwork. Shut lines of bonnet look good when cold. When the engine is hot you can feel the warmth in the bonnet and the shut lines expand very slightly compared to the adjacent cold door panel ( leading edge) but only us forum members would ever know.

Cheers Simon. I am pleased with the quality of the paintwork and interior fit and finish. There are no rattles. The improved standard front suspension is way better than my previous Gen 1 Macans- I went along a cobbled back street that I used to regularly drive over in my previous Macan and my new Macan is a much superior ride. I also don’t get any Ackerman effect on the 20” wheels even when the temperature last week was only 2c or 3c.

Excellent! Music to the ears of those waiting for their Gen 3s! :)

I followed a brand new Macan S through a village yesterday, I must say I am no fan of the egg box look on the front panel, rear panel/diffuser & the side blades, they look like a right muck magnet to me! Is it actually textured or is just a visual effect?
