I have a tight garage and parking the Macan in it is an arse. The car is very wide and longer than you think and the rear apparatus to flare which confuses matters more. I have to fold the mirrors in but don’t have surround view…

I remember when I had my Macan I use to line up the car with the mirrors open and then fold them just before they were level with the opening. The surround view cameras on the mirrors didn't help once folded. I had to keep the mirrors folded as it was too tight to open them once in the garage. It became second nature after a while :) .

Looks like the panoramic roof was worth the purchase!

Perhaps Sardine silver would have been a better colour choice 😊

Forget a Macan or just leave it outside as it will be a constant pain in the neck garaging it.
If you can you could see a builder about widening the opening and getting a face fixed roller or up and over door.
You can see my garage door behind my Macan, originally it was two garages with central brick pier and two up and over doors which restricted the entrance by 50mm each side due to their construction. Works involved a steel joyce faced with timber and a new electric operated, insulated and panelled door.
