Overall, do you love the car or not so? Would you buy another another one, if the chance arose? Not just tweeking it different.
Its a good point. Yes I do and yes I would. Clearly we wont get a chance though because I’m pretty sure they wont make ICE macans when I’m up for the next car. I think I’d consider an Elastictrickery Macan and based on deliveries for current macans I should have plenty of time to check out all the options before purchase this time. Like I say, the only real regret I have is the Stereo. I can live with the standard one but its a bit disappointing when you compare it with the Bose. Totally my fault, I should have looked into it more. The Bose is very good.

The main purpose of the post was to pass on my experiences in case anyone is considering any of those particular items. I’m sure some will be annoyed by it, hopefully some will find it useful.

Hopefully most will appreciate the time & effort that you put into that comprehensive and detailed post, Omni. :)

By the way, the 21” wheels not looking any bigger than your 20”s is probably down to them being painted black. ;)

Cheers,
Simon

I think you’re spot on about the wheels. I actually came to the same conclusion earlier on this evening. The standard S 20’s are bare metal and light(ish) grey. The colour definitely makes a difference. I do like the 21’s on the loaner. I would be happy to have them, I like the standard ones too though.

One more thing to add. The loaner doesn’t have the surround camera, and I’ve just parked it at the local Tesco, it’s something I’d definitely recommend ( the camera, not Tesco ). The functionality with the full surround camera makes a big difference, as evidenced by the following images of my ineptitude:

From the outside you can definitely see the difference in ride height:

🤣🤣 fortunately that’s a loaner, so I am a tad less concerned

Just after I took that someone parked next to me in another Macan.

I’m totally with you re the Bose sound. I spec’ed and have it on mine. I know some aren’t fans of it, but I think it has good quality sound, with a great bass. And passengers have commented on it, being good, I should add.
In a previous life I was a DJ, and they did some good sound systems that I had.

Omni You were not tempted then to cross the road in Pulborough and order another example of Porsche Leipzig body shop output i.e a Bentley Coupe ;) ;) ;) :lol: :lol:

This is the only issue with a nice car. You need another old wreck to take to public car parks :D
