I think I saw someone else recently post the rain sense problem. So there are at lease two cars not like the others.

Position one on the stalk is rain sensing. You can adjust the sensitivity with the other switch. The manual has a picture/drawing.

Good news, my January Build charge doors seem to be flush. But I didn't notice a front fender/bumper fit issue in the bright light at the dealer. It is obvious in my dimmer garage lighting where a shadow is thrown (not that I expected it to be perfect). The passenger side is not off as much. I...

January build 4S, Pirelli Scorpion MS 20 inch. These are quiet, smooth, responsive, and grip well at 20-40F. There is more wind than tire/road noise I think. Edit.... There seems to be a bit more 70mph road noise when tire pressure reduced to 40 from the 44 delivered by the dealer. But...

The Cayenne is a much bigger SUV than the Macan, of course.

Perhaps adjust the sensitivity. "When the rain sensor is activated, the wipe interval is automatically regulated. Adjusting the rain sensor sensitivity Press switch B upwards – high sensitivity (more frequent wiping). – or – Press switch B downwards – low sensitivity (less frequent wiping)."

I would also check how the tires have worn. When the alignment was off, it could have worn one tire unevenly. And after the realignment, and it being spot on, the uneven tire could pull a bit. Perhaps it will straighten out, but my experience is that once a tire wears unevenly there is no...

None of my cars unlock when placed in park, but they all have a master unlock button on the arm rest, quick and easy... except when the wife is on the sidewalk and I'm forgetful... :blush:

This is the US Scheduled Maintenance plan from https://assets-v2.porsche.com/us/-/media/Project/PCOM/North-America/USA/PorscheService/Maintenance/02-2025-Porsche-Scheduled-Maintenance-Plan-Pricing . This covers the scheduled maintenance only. Its additive, so if you want all 6 years on a Macan...

Always look for auto loans with simple interest. You could also borrow against an asset (Home) instead of the car. Interest rates can be lower, and they may be tax deductible depending where you are with the std deduction. Continue to keep the money market as a safety net.

There is a two year required service (inspection and brake fluid flush) that you can prepay for ($1400) or you can shop around in two years. I've read here that it generally runs about that much anyway. But dealers are different. There are those that will use every marketing technique to sell...

Is it a fixit type ticket where you need to show the fix to an inspection station to clear the ticket? Do the fines increase as the violation count goes up? A decade ago I'd zip tie my front plate to my SLK's bumper in a way that looked OEM to the casual observer for inspections. I drove it...

Your right, RWS is probably more useful everyday that PTV+. I was just saying, as an example, that when specing a handling performance oriented Macan both are "necessary". Otherwise I'm told that with RTV+ is superior on snowy/slippery/icy roads and driveways than without. Another specific...

Yeah its not necessary for any car size, only necessary when you approach the size of very long trucks or trailers driven on city streets. But necessary in this RWS context is an opinion/judgement. I would class it a nice to have along with PTV+ similar to its nice to have full leather or...

The Macan is between a compact and large SUV, similar in wheelbase and size to several popular midsized SUVs. If your POV is a Chevy Suburban then the Macan is small, from a Jeep renegade POV it is large. I think just right.

I like Husky floor mats for my trucks, holds more slush than OEM style, flexible, non slip and not overkill like the hard weathertechs. If they offered them to fit a Macan, I'd buy them in an instant.

It seems to be common confusion on EVSE charge limits, especially for cars destined to both EU and NA. For example, my MINI (BMW) is advertised to accept 11 KW but it turns out it can accept that much current only from a 3-phase EVSE. The max the SE can accept from a 2-phase EVSE is 7.4 kW...

A XX point inspection and brake fluid flush are required.. The ICE Macans service is $1600 I think, because they also change the oils. Porsche service is notoriously expensive. Dunno the impact on warranty if you skip it, but there is another thread discussing it.

The $1400 PSMP is the service plan that covers the required two year service. Pay now, pay later.

You can still find the older model in NA ($1000 sale price). Dunno if that is a clearance price.
