WOW ! ….the car is just amazing !😻

I am just arriving home after the delivery of my new Macan 4 in my Porsche Centre in Lisbon.

I am really impressed with the design of the car… is much better in the real world than in any photo or video !
the built quality respects the traditional high quality of Porsche cars !
the quality of the ride is top notch and the PASM suspension is very well calibrated for comfort and sportiness!

the 22” RS Spyder Wheels make a huge impact in the image of the car ! ….very Sexy ! 😻

in the next days I will share with you more info, images and consumption.

Tonight from the Porsche Centre I made just the first 40kms (city and highway) and got 18,6 kw/100kms! 😉

Best regards from Estoril - Portugal

Beautiful! And you have the best tires with the Goodyears.
I drove a demo 4 with this size rims and Goodyears on it and the tire filters out bumps very well. See my thread.

That’s why I’m going to change the Bridgestones for Goodyears on my 21" rims next week.

Very nice combo, congratulations!
I am interested to hear your feedback regarding the "non" rear wiper (which looks nicer), being not far from you (Algarve) with a bit less rain 😉 - do I need one ?

Hi Bennie,
Thanks for your feedback on the tires, I was lucky ! 😉
I promise to give you my experience after some more mileage done !

In Algarve, only if you drive in dirt roads a lot.

Hi Mr Frenchy,
As you know is raining a lot today and for me the answer is a clear “No” because:
1. looks ugly
2. Not needed in Algarve/Portugal
3. The rear window inclination will have a lot aerodynamic support to maintain it cleaned in highway/road driving
4. The rear window inclination is similar to a coupe or sedan car - and you don’t see and don’t need a rear wipe in these type of cars.
5. you only need a rear wipe when the rear window is more vertical like in a Tradicional wagon or SUV.
6. I assume you will have at least a car wash in a monthly basis, so one more reason to avoid this optional.

IMO the rear wipe in the new Macan is completely useless in Portugal.

hope my thoughts can help !

Hi PorscheManiac,
Thank you very much for your detailed answer, it's very helpful. I have the ICE macan and on the dusty road I must say the rear wiper is very welcome but like you say, on the Macan EV the rear window angle is different so I will not tick the box and spend the money somewhere else.😉
Enjoy your Macan ev

Also, you can get rain repellent like Angelwax H2GO Glass Sealant, which apparently works well.

Hey PorscheManaic - congrats. Is this Ice Grey or White?
I knew I should've ordered 22's . . .
