Me and a colleague at work took deliver of Macan 4's with the same type 21' wheels on the same day. Production, shipping and delivered to the dealer on the exact same days. I got Perelli's and my colleague got Bridgestones. There's no logic to it, I think they just use several different brands...

I got my new Macan 4 earlier this week and optioned the Augmented Reality HUD. To be truthful for short journeys where I know where I'm going I find it unnecessary and quite distracting, especially when driving in the dark. I've turned it off for now but for journeys where I need route guidance...

Thanks I've only had the car two days and not been on a motorway/highway yet. It's just I read the KIA Augmented Reality HUD has the blind spot feature.

Does the HUD do vehicle blind spot detection?

The new model Audi with most of the same tech was my other option but I decided on the Macan.

Sadly any new model will have issues and those people taking delivery over the first 2-3 months will likely experience more than someone who gets one a few months later after all the problems have been ironed out. A lot more tech on cars these days and a lot more to go wrong.

I can honestly say I haven’t seen a Macan EV on the road in the UK which is surprising considering deliveries started in September. The only one’s I’ve seen were the three getting ready for handover in the workshop at my local dealership back in October.

Very nice the same colour I've chosen. 👍 I saw a Taycan in this colour in the showroom and was blown away with the sparkly finish under the lights. All the pictures I've seen don't quite replicate what it's like to see it close up in person. I've also made the bold decision of the night green...

The hold feature is one of the best inventions on a car ever in my option. I Know some people don’t like the break light on but it’s only the same as keeping your foot pressed on the break. I just can’t be bothered putting the car in park at traffic lights.

The new Audi Q6 that shares all the same tech as the Macan EV has the digital key feature that allows you to unlock and drive the car via a smartphone or smartwatch. It also allows you to create digital keys for up to 5 users. I think there has been some delay especially using Apple devices...

Having had a Jaguar Ipace EV for 4 years I would say I lost about 30% range in cold weather doing mainly stop/start short journeys of just a few miles. On a full 100% charge the range for me was always at least 60 miles (If not more) below the maximum claimed range even in hot weather and...

Good question I’m getting my new Macan in January and would like more information on this. Coming from an all electric Jaguar IPace the battery temperature is something I don’t ever recall seeing. I’d guess the temperature is relative to range and charging times. A cold battery is less efficient...

Speakers generally need a breaking in period at a reasonable volume over several hours before they sound as they should.

It seems that if you want much better sound in a car you need loads of acoustic sheet sound proofing, professionally positioned in the door panels etc. For this reason I just couldn’t justify the Burmester option at 4 times the Bose price, knowing it would have acoustic environment limitations...

Thanks that looks like a really neat purpose designed solution. On my previous third party dashcam that was fitted to my Jaguar the camera was stuck to the windscreen with a round sticky pad that looked an eyesore and was quite visible from the exterior. You could even see the adhesive bubbles...

My employer has decided to go with the Porsche dashcam because the SA said a third party device could create warranty issues with the vehicle. Does anyone know if the Porsche is front and rear or just front?

I had a Jaguar IPace for 4 years until a month ago and you could set it to warm the car every morning at a set time from the system settings in the car without having to use the app daily. Must admit I’ve really missed it with all these frosty mornings recently, having to scrape the ice off and...

It’s the 4 and I paid the deposit in early October. According to the My Porsche App it’s due at the Porsche dealership anytime between December 23 and January 23. Just concerned now that after all the snow and ice we‘ve had this week which is really early for the UK, that this winter could be a...

Production start date estimated December 8th. Leaving the factory in Leipzig December 13th to 18th. Leaving the port in Germany December 17th to January 2nd. Arriving at my local Porsche dealership in the UK December 23 to January 23. Let’s just say the info is better than nothing but looking...

Could a potentially big hike in new car prices enhance residual values of used cars?
