Sorry to be so persistent - but you are dead wrong on this. In the hands of those who don't know how to use a clay bar it is a great way to INDUCE scratches and swirls. It IS part of the process done to prep paint prior to ceramic coating - the steps usually go as follows: 1. Wash car with...

Porsche is trying to impart a "sporty / tough" image to the EV Macan and Cayenne - hence, the black wheel moldings. You could try to have a body shop remove and color match them but that could be a big adventure to get the paint color and texture of the surface to match. It is what it is - you...

No - clay bar is for removing surface contaminants - that is not a scratch. Many people do more damage than good with a clay bar.

Not enough information to advise - a pic would help. If a minor scratch in the clearcoat that should easily polish out with the right products / technique. IF you can catch an edge with a fingernail it's beyond an easy polish and you'll likely need touchup paint. Good technique with touchup...

Not sure why anyone would want to be an early-adopter of any software update, especially if your vehicle is working well. I'd rather wait until additional experience was available regarding the pros/cons of the update.

Agree 100% - but I do think some have issues due to not having realistic expectations about the vehicle - especially in regard to software and update issues. For me the entire goal of owning and driving a Porsche is for the driving experience. The software is necessary but it would never be a...

I agree that competition is always good - but I don't think Polestar / Volvo are in the same tier as Porsche. From a dynamic driving standpoint they aren't close. From a software standpoint Porsche is actually better. Polestar has never had good sales in the US - most recently only 6% of...

It's cousin to Volvo - yawn............. nothing lost.

What I do know is that when someone calls someone else a pompous ass you can bet that one of them is. Good luck with your problems.

Turn the sign recognition feature off and accept responsibility for driving and recognizing speed limit changes.

Do you currently have issues with your vehicle? If not - what is the hurry to get the update? I have a 2025 Macan 4 and have received an email notification that an update is available for my vehicle. We have essentially NO issues with our vehicle - so we are deferring on the update. Car...

And some complain on this forum about the lack of updates to the software...........

My wife and I also own a Macan 4 - we previously had a 2018 Macan ICE, followed by an Audi eTron, and now the Macan 4. We initially leased ours (to take advantage of the $7500 credit before it went away), made 2 payments, and then purchased it outright (no loan - cash deal). We intend to drive...

After reading this forum for about a year it's become apparent to me there are two general groups of people here: 1) Those who would be fine driving a sofa as long as the software provided them an experience they viewed as "favorable" and 2) Those that want to drive a Porsche for the dynamic...

Yawn. Why is this on the Macan forum?

Good luck - as they say - the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence ........ until you get on the other side of the fence. I owned a GLC 300 - and traded it for a Macan ICE. There is a change in the driving dynamic of a Mercedes SUV vs Porsche SUV. Again - good luck.

We plan to drive it - why not? It's an extremely nice vehicle with reasonable range / charging capabilities that should stay "contemporary" for the next 5 years or more. The major warranty concern is the battery and that has an 8 year, 100,000 mile coverage. All EVs will continue to...

I am fully aware of that. Not sure what the perspective is outside of the US but within the US here's the perspective - If an SUV is available in both a 2WD (rear or front) and a 4WD/AWD the 2WD versions have extremely low demand and sales are abysmal. That is why I consider the Macan 4 as...

Doubtful for a Macan 4 - it's the "base" model and serves its intended purpose well as is. The reality is that NO ONE needs Sport Chrono on a base Macan EV. I may have a different perspective since I own both a Macan 4 EV and a 2026 Targa 4S. There is NO doubt sport chrono is a must have /...

One thing all need to remember - wheel diameter is but one of several variables here. Others include tire inflation pressures (can have a HUGE impact on perceived ride quality), suspension setting, base suspension stiffness inherit to model, road quality, etc.
