  1. Possible to lower suspension for entry/exit?

    I had a play with this, you can set a location to raise the height, but as far as I could see, not to lower. So the only way I can see is to select sport mode as you pull up.
  2. Standard 8 Way Seats

    I had a 3 month loaner, with 8-way, standard trim. I bought 14 way with leather. One thing the 8-way taught us, in UK, is that they trap heat, even with air con on, they were very warm, even 20 minutes later. So we added cooled seats. But in terms of comfort they are the same seat in terms of...
  3. Macan Turbo versus BMW iX M70

    I had an iX loaner, when my I-pace was in the dealer. Now in a Macan 4. I found the iX awful, it ate energy, heating controls were made by aliens, the doors sound like they are full of lego. The only plusses were the heated armrests, and the ability to compete with the local bus company. if you...
  4. Electric Sport Sound - equip it or not?

    Had it in a 3 month loaner - it makes a lovely sound, like an ICE. But even when turned on, you only get the noise when you accelerate. As the macan accelerates very quicky, your getting 2-3 seconds of nice noise. I didnt spec it on my permanent car, and dont miss it. as other have said, spend...
  5. Mecan S 20" vs Mecan Offroad design 21" ride quality/comfort

    I had a long term loaner, with 22', and I bought a macan 4 with the 21; off road wheels. In the UK, I found the 21' tramline less. And of course you have a bit more protection from damage. I'm very happy with the 4, I came out of 2 x I-Pace.
  6. Bridgestone Potenza sport rear puncture - cannot get any replacement tyres

    I'd ask your Porsche dealer- and if they can get one, ask them to ask the fleet company for authorisation.
  7. Range in Macan Turbo

    Wheel size is well known to make a difference, 20 to 22 inch knocks 20 miles off the range. Everything adds up, roof rails, rear wiper, all add drag, all with the same battery, means less range in any given situation. That said the OP managed an average of 64mph, thats quite impressive in the...
  8. Climate controls query

    button N is AC max, button P is max demist, and if you have it heated front screen.
  9. 4S compared to Polestar 3 and 4?

    Really depends on what you want, long distance cruiser, soft ride? Or tight sporty ride that will go a long way if needed? I cant comment on the polestar, I came from a Jaguar I-Pace, and the macan 4 is a good replacement. Had an iX, lousy to drive, but if you have 3 teenage kids and 2 dogs its...
  10. Uneven rear tyre wear

    I'll let you know in 5000 miles...
  11. Uneven rear tyre wear

    I'd just get the alignment checked by a good tyre place, and crack on. I was getting about 12000 miles per set in my I-pace, I'm not expecting anything better, its a 2 ton sports SUV, and I'm not Miss Daisy.
  12. HEATED STEERING WHEEL - 2025 TURBO

    Mine gets hot very quickly - I just use it to take the chill off, otherwise it gets too hot for me. Just wondering, do people still wear gloves when driving in some countries - and is this causing the reports of slow heating?
  13. What's the source of the heater?

    I've used it probably 5 times, worked every single time so ☹☹ for you.
  14. What's the source of the heater?

    I-pace was the same, to get heat or cold, you had to crank up the setting. But if you do, you get heat in the macan within 30 seconds I'd say, and in that time the heated seats, wheel, windscreen will be clearing any mist, and making you feel warm. Or just pre-heat, which works a treat.

  16. UK Servicing of an EV

    I had 2 x I-pace, now in a macan 4. 0-60 is a little longer on the macan, but mid range is at least as good, and I think maybe a little better. Handling is better on the macan. I spent more on options, matrix, leather etc. Seats in the macan are better, and the visibility is much better.
  17. What's the source of the heater?

    Are you turning the fan up? If so dont, leave it low until you feel some heat, then turn the fan up a little.
  18. Macan Turbo Specs - Thoughts / Suggestions

    I had the green, as a loaner, on 22'. Very happy with my car in gentian Blue. Both are gorgeous. Green slightly rarer, as more expensive. Blue is on 21'. In UK the 22' tended to tramline more. No matrix lights?, are these allowed now in USA? They are fantastic. Rear wiper is great, car seems...
  19. 4s vs GTS -what to order??

    Happy with the 4, mid range is very impressive. And I have the 21 cross country, with gentian blue. if you are set on the 18 way seats, then its a tough choice.
  20. How to turn on heated wing mirrors & windscreen?

    heated front windscreen, only the demist button turns it on. Would be handy to have a switch, but using the remote heating is also a good option. Mirrors, rear window button. as per the manual.
