By any chance do you still have this list? I think it would be useful to have for myself when I collect and others potentially?
I am also interested in that list - mine is coming in about one month - so a checklist would be great. Thanks

Three months in - best car I have ever driven. Am expecting mega depreciation but have factored that in. Frunk catch needed some impediment removed before it would open automatically, charging port door edge a little proud but Porsche UK say they know and will fix it. Porsche App I find clunky. I have a “loaded” Turbo and my blood pressure goes down when I both look at it and drive it

We have a turbo delivering next week that we custom spec’d. I don’t think we’ve ever been more excited for a car.

But the amount of issues I’ve read and heard about on this site and others has me majorly concerned.

I had an early ix50 that turned into a brick and the buy back process as a nightmare.

Plan was to do a one pay lease but with the news of ICE coming back I dread the residual impact in a couple of weeks.

Would love to hear from TURBO owners specifically their experiences thus far. Both the bad and the good. Hoping there are many with no or limited problems.
according to this review

you should get a Tesla Model Y - there problem solved!

I have a fully spec’ed 2024 Turbo since November and it has worked flawlessly since the moment I got it. Range is a little less than I hoped for, but it’s really fun to drive - would say it’s a more comfy version of my 911 992.1 Carrera S I had prior to it.

Turbo model since November as well here. Very happy with the purchase. I would agree that the turbo model has less range than advertised, but plenty of range and it is not a worry for me coming from a Tesla Model 3 performance.
The car is a big upgrade form the Tesla (and has 100% less Elon to deal with). The interior is amazing and the handling is a huge improvement over the m3p. I had some initial bugs to shake out (some errors not allowing the Innodrive to start), but after a visit to the dealer they were able to fix the bug in less than a day.

Got stuck at the dealership pre-delivery for 4 months because of a bad rear camera module and no spares. Range is very disappointing in cold weather / fast driving. Some minor build issues. But then again the drive is quite amazing.

Amazing, thank you for that. I think it’ll be good for myself and others to check these things.

I mean this is like doing your research on vaccinations by reading anti-vax forums 😂

I imagine the ICE macan forum will feel a certain way about the EV macan…
Oh, they do, they certainly do...especially in the UK

So are you saying the front jets aim were good? Other forum members are saying it’s not and was wondering if this was global issue or not. Thanks!
