2.0 litre 4 cylinder over the 3.0 V6 :?:
 
PASM was a big dilemma for me when I specced a Macan. I ended up cancelling the order after lockdown so not an issue in the end but my final spec had it off. Is it better on the new versions ?

And out of interest have Porsche asked you to sign any form of Brexit charge waiver (mixed reports of manufacturers starting to do that for post October 2019 deliveries) ?

My Mrs has one as the family run-around and the 2 litre is fine. It runs out of puff above 70 mph but I reckon it has a better balance than the bigger engined cars - certainly the old diesel unit.

Porsche give the Macan a sports image and play on the fact its the best handling SUV, but that's the problem. It's an SUV!
When we came back from the test drive the salesman actually said 'It handles just like a 911". I just had to laugh and remind him we've got a 911 :floor:
However, it is a great family car and was a more palatable alternative to the JLR rubbish she was looking at :frustrated:
 
:hand: I got one of the JLR rubbish instead in the end for SWMBO ........but only because it justified me getting a 981GTS with the 'change" :grin:

I love the Macans and they will be on my shortlist again when due for a change :thumb:
 
That's a fair deal :thumb: :D

I got short shrift when I suggest a nice Skoda estate :floor:

The thing that disappoints most with JLR is the quality of the plastics (unless you go higher up the model range and get leather coverings) and overall perception of value (for me, anyway). But round my way all the women love them - every 'yummy mummy" has one.
 
Agree Cameo. Usually in white & the none 4 wheel drive "entry level" spec.
 
PASM a waste of time on UK roads. Unless the roads are uber smooth with it on your teeth fill be chattering.

Had it on the Cayenne with air suspension. Suspension set up was great without PASM on
 
As I have the 911 and Macan is a family car, 2.0 is adequate for us.

I test drove the Gen 2 and it's actually quite nippy and I was happy with it.

I added PASM and Power Assisting Plus. Again, both for comfort/ease for wife. Especially as I've gone for the 21s. Some support for this on the Macan Forum from a wide range of owners.

They have agreed the following re tariffs etc:

We will refund your deposit should the Brexit put into effect a 10% importation tax. It is something we will review with customers should it happen and if you wish to not proceed we would honour that.

This is obviously all pretty standard. Been told that lockdown will be Nov/Dec and if at that time there is a price hike, I will have the option of walking away with my full deposit. Let's see what BoJo can sort! 🤣🤔

I just need to drive my 911 more and not less when the Macan arrives!!

Agreed with the JLR which is why SWMBO had to have an autobiography :roll:

Still at least one of the cars cost me virtually nothing to own for 2.5 years :grin:
