Buying a Porsche comes with its frustrations (as does owning one). This is more a lifestyle choice than a vehicle I think so if wavering I would think that a Porsche is not for you, and you may be better cancelling.
Sounds odd I know, but I have had to come to terms with this myself. Good luck with whatever direction you choose.
Never heard so much rubbish in all my life! Buying a 60k Macan is not a lifestyle choice, it’s a car. A car which apparently at the moment isn’t any better in the QC department than my local Vauxhall. Maybe I should change my lifestyle and go for a corsa SRI. :D
Well certainly didn’t intend to annoy you but I respectfully disagree. You can buy an Audi. BM, Merc any number of alternatives, but none of them are a Porsche. Nobody’s buying them for their reliability 😂
All I am saying is if you are wavering then buy something else because the whole “Porsche” bit means less to you…
I’m not buying the car because it’s a “Porsche”, I’m buying one because it’s the most highly rated small suv available. If that title was with a bmw I’d be buying a bmw.
Maybe it’s you that’s buying for all the wrong reasons, after all it appears you are only buying because it’s a Porsche,that’s a terrible reason to buy any car.
Just because it’s Porsche, doesn’t mean they can treat me like something they’ve stepped in, I expect excellent service whenever I buy a car,and even more so if buying a premium brand. If they fall well below my expectations, which so far they have,then I will go elsewhere . If you are prepared to put up with that because it’s a “Porsche “ then good luck to you. :D

It’s sounds like you are very frustrated with the process and I’m not sure that having a go at me will alleviate that 😂
I don’t think Porsche are going to match your expectations.

I’m not having a go at you by any means, I just don’t agree with you saying it’s a lifestyle choice! It’s nothing to do with a lifestyle. I am not prepared to wait indefinitely for a car that may or may not arrive, when at the point of ordering I was told I would have my car by March possibly April. The latest update I got when I enquired was , and I quote “ No idea of a build slot yet, possibly May or June or it could be later” !
If you are prepared to take their bull because it’s Porsche.then that’s your choice. I for one am not.

I won’t lose any sleep by cancelling my order and buying something else, just like I’m sure Porsche won’t .

Why is it not the brand for me? It’s got nothing to do with the brand! :?:

Because if it was you'd put up with the problems that others are also experiencing in order to get your desired first choice SUV. You obviously don't WANT a Macan enough to go down this road. Perhaps your 2nd or 3rd choice SUV would be a better place for your £.

It is my first choice SUV, but I’m not prepared to be treated like an IDIOT to get it. It appears a lot on here are, if more people didn’t then maybe Porsche would start treating people correctly.
Whilst people continue to sit back and “put up” with what Porsche do or don’t do, then it’s only going to get worse.
Don’t forget, we are paying them and not the other way around.

In fairness, Sweetmeister, it does sound as if your experience of Porsche customer service (or lack of it)) has been worse than most on here. :(

Good luck with whatever you decide to buy! 👍
