Is it possible to select loading level from inside the cabin, or only from the button in the boot?

And let's be clear, in the UK we're hardly going to test the limits that often, are we :) !

Indeed, other reviews have mentioned minor improvements, but this review said night and day difference - he did do a back to back test, so he may in fact be correct 😉 !

I was left quite deflated by that review, great for the GTS improvements, but makes it seem like the previous models are a basket case with terrible handling. Not one review I read, before the GTS launch, mentioned 'twitchy handling', which makes me wonder if this was a bit overstated? Sure the...

That sucks! However, no pouch is gonna stop theives capturing the key as you lock the car, *if* the key can be captured at all. It does make me wonder what actually happened, and I'm sure you've scratched your head over that too!

That is awful, I feel for you. In your Macan, or a previous BMW?

Sorry, another question: So, on the long parts of the journey, you stoppedonce or more to charge - what was the strategy, and did you use the Porsche route planner?

Surely the Porsche keys go to sleep now in 2026, or even since launch of the Macan electric, so the cloning with a booster is not possible anymore?

I have had BMW's for the past 30 years, and I have to say I do not like the direction they have decided in recent years. Everything is now controlled through the screen (no buttons). They have doubled down with the iX3 and gone a step further with the panaramic display. I'm not convinced the...

Do you by chance have any other Macan model experience to compare the ride firmness. I found the Macan 4 with 22" Spider wheels and air suspension very good - and that's on crappy UK (pothole riddled) roads?

In this thread, @PastaSource linked the recent WhatCar updates that covered the Macan GTS, it talks a bit about suspension on UK roads. I recently had a Macan 4 with air suspension, it ironed out pot holes and bumps very nicely, and at the same time, was not wallowy.

The updated overview particularly addresses some concerns I have, and indeed, wrt ride quality, I just emailed my local dealer this morning. Ultimately, I will want a test drive, but it seems like the GTS is not available as a tester yet. "The cheaper versions don't feel especially fast and...

Thanks for your insights, sadly, I'll get hit with the luxury car tax now, and of course pay-per-mile if that eventually goes ahead. I've just spec'd up a 4S - £101,271, Turbo - £111,458, and GTS - £101,665. The GTS, which I had not initially considered, seems like the best option, because it...

Thanks, haha, the joys of UK driving!

As I mentioned, I drove the Macan 4, it's smooth, but not what I'd call 'quick'. There is no punch when accelerating, I don't mean from launch control, I mean slow rolling then accelerate - it was mediocre. Not a slouch, but not a wow either. In the UK, we have speed limits that any car can...

Thanks, I've not tried the 4S, the dealer only has a 4 - that's not quite enough for my 'normal' driving :CWL:! I'll try to get in a Turbo for a test drive, but they don't seem readily available for test drives.

Not yet, but after a while I suspect it will.

I'm considering a 4S as I found the 4 a bit lacklustre. On the configurator, I fell in to the options trap and thought I'd go all in and go for a Turbo instead, as the price gap starts to close when you consider the options on the 4S that come as standard equipment on the Turbo (a bit of desire...

I checked it, but be aware commentary in German.

I recently had a loaner Macan 4 with 14-way comfort seats. My wife found it tricky to get out of the car due to the bolsters on the base and height of the vehicle, a real problem for us! However, the dealer had a Macan GTS with 18-way seats in the showroom. My wife did not find the bolsters any...
