    The Mark Of A Well Put Together Vehicle

    Unfortunately I was given a “not much we can do” it was how the car was built and doors have no adjustment Uppper part of drivers side door notable panel deviation where it meets the fender. They told me it seems like a fender alignment issue. Guess I’ll have to call Porsche about it. I guess...

    I guess unicorns do exist. We have different experiences on our turbos.

    Bose sound system not quite up to snuff?

    I see you have a Macan 4. The Bose is not the stock system. The stock system is a Porsche branded sound system with less speakers and less power. Bose is the upgraded system in all vehicles except the Macan turbo which gets the Bose as standard. Just in case there was confusion there.

    Bose sound system not quite up to snuff?

    I’m an audio fanatic, spend way too much time and $ on home audio. Only reason I didn’t get the burmester is because I bought an off the lot turbo and there weren’t any burmester options at the time. The Bose is very good. On par with our Tesla model y, maybe a little better. Leagues better than...

    New software update

    Had the new software installed. Don’t notice any differences. No faults or issues yet. Just that I had to reprogram my garage opener.

    Random(?) Error Messages

    I am tempted to ask for a buyback. My turbo has had 4 weeks of service in 5 months of ownership. It’s too much. I was looking at the G580 but apparently the range is very bad.

    Random(?) Error Messages

    The same alert popped up for me after picking up my software updated Macan from the dealership, no message starting what the issue is. Haven’t stepped back in after power cycle to see if it’s gone.

    Warning light question

    Anyone seen this indicator before? Never had it. Vehicle just got back from service and had some software updates and AC service. Didn’t see anything in the manual with this specific indicator.

    New software update

    My Macan has been at the SC for 3 weeks for service. What’s taking longer is a AC issue they think it’s the control panel. Basically AC doesn’t work.. for software update my rep told me they can’t do it because they need both key fobs so when I go to pick up at some point I have to bring the...

    Macan Turbo in for service Macan 4 loaner, my experience

    my AC problem is back. Problem to begin with was the AC system would auto switch off at random and would not turn back on. Attempting to switch back to AC on in the climate menu would show the system light go back to off after a few seconds. first time right after purchase I took the turbo in...

    Insulated glass or rear wiper? (First post by a Porsche newbie.)

    Agree with this. it does tamper down city noise, cars swooshing by when you're waiting for a left turn, or loud engine vehicles driving next to you at lower speeds. Otherwise at highway speeds it's not a noticeable difference. The heat benefit I can get with cermic tint so not worried on that...

    Insulated glass or rear wiper? (First post by a Porsche newbie.)

    My turbo with regular glass is in the shop for service and I received a Macan 4 with insulated glass. Same 40 min drive back and zero difference in road noise and overall exterior noise. I was surprised the 21 inch wheels on the Macan 4 loaner were just as noisy as my 22’s. Was initially bummed...

    Wind Noise Driver Side Upper Left Windshield Corner?

    I didn’t notice this on my Macan turbo. But my Macan 4 loaner definitely has this specific wind noise. Both vehicles have the roof rails. May be a build quality issue.

    Gripes 6mo into ownership

    Also have a lot of rattles from roof and doors. Roof was already adjusted once. It’s better but surprisingly noisy vehicle. My first German experience and not impressed coming from Lexus, Volvo, Tesla. Though better than my matchbox Rivian with rattles galore.

    New software update

    Why are these software updates so complicated. Coming from Tesla and Rivian and hearing lots of good things from BMWs current gen software this is really disappointing Porsche is using archaic models of programming and updating. Legacy auto needs to get their act together.
