    Orange accents on Frozen Blue Macan EV

    Oh dear Lord! Gulf Blue and Gulf Orange (Zenith Blue and Tangerine) may suit a Le Mans racer but not a family compact SUV.

    UK Servicing of an EV

    High bolsters in Porsche if you spec Sports seats rather than Comfort seats. Handling - it's a Porsche so that's the least of your worries.

    UK Servicing of an EV

    Cayenne EV is better value given the base spec IMHO. Roomier, latest tech etc. Personally I won't now include the Macan EV (new) in my short list unless they reduce the price £10K at least. None win prizes in the beauty stakes but there are some promising signs coming from BMW at long last.

    UK Servicing of an EV

    So it shouldn't be £1500 unless something drastic has happened. Two year service intervals on a Taycan were around £750 for same scope of work. More expensive on a Macan T (ICE) - same period £1200. If EV servicing were cheap then dealerships would soon go out of business. It is for sure a...

    Steering Column Bump-Up for 2026 GTS?

    Historically based on time driving in a single session. Sensor will detect where your eyes are so no gawping!

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Light positive pressure (single) as per any Porsche model on the brake pedal is all that is typically needed to engage HOLD. If on a slope of sufficient gradient it should engage automatically upon detection of rolling.

    Nav permanently on following update

    Check your displays setting in PCM but personally I find it quite handy to have the key routing info displayed in that tube and avoids taking your eyes off the road.

    How to turn on heated wing mirrors & windscreen?

    All Porsches have the same setup for demisting. I'm sure some VAG bean counter reckoned a cost cut for a separate heating control for the mirrors was worth it! In my experience 10 mins isnusually more than enough for the mirrors but not always the rear screen.

    Macan Turbo Specs - Thoughts / Suggestions

    Seats - either will suit and the Sports seats have more adjustment which may intrude. If you need massage then its a slam dunk. Wheels - 21" is ideal 20" best for overall ride comfort and range but you may not notice it and 22" will introduce more discomfort (road surface dependent and reduce...

    Steering Column Bump-Up for 2026 GTS?

    My 911 is the same but suspect all manufacturers will have to adopt the latest EU incarnation of this tech and the "bump" feature everywhere.

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    I honestly don't think so. To do so overlooks the fact that a GTS is effectively a detuned Turbo. Turbo will be quicker in a straight line no question. GTS chassis is tuned better and both have PTV+. I suspect they will be very closely matched and no doubt one of the journalists will go to...

    Steering Column Bump-Up for 2026 GTS?

    Big brother monitoring (Driver Observation) - appears on all MY26 Macans.

    Macan 4S: “Affordable Luxury” and Enough Power?

    There is no ICE 4S Macan... ICE GTS or S only (S is what I think you meant). 76 horses separate GTS and 4S EV (significant) but alas only 0.2s difference 0-60 with Launch in favour of 4S EV. GTS will however out pace with top speed 20 mph higher. Same comparison with Macan S (ICE) and Macan...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Seat - Comfort setting - will also move the steering wheel if you have electric adjustment. All to aid ingress and egress.

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    Some errors in this video too as he mentions a 22kW AC option which is notable by it's absence on the configurator. Porsche withdrew this option from the Taycan last year - lots of issues with it. Watch the Taycan GTS review on Autocar to get a flavour of what to expect.

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    Actually I did just that and the extra power bump was marginal (it always is between any 4S and GTS). It is the chassis tuning and PTV+ you notice the most. Note that the power of the GTS will become the power of the next facelifted 4S - again a standard Porsche trait. Example J1.1 Taycan GTS...

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    PTS price didn't put you off??

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    PTV+ before RAS (both preferably). The 5 degree turn is barely noticeable but does reduce turning circle by a metre. I've optioned RAS twice now (first time I was convinced it wasn't installed such is the non-obvious nature of it. PTV+ in my experience is a better option to have and useful in...

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    Carmine has been around on other models for some years now. Suggest looking at any Porsche in this colour before deciding - plenty ICE GTSs to get a good idea in daylight.

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    I have gloss black Sports Design (full) on my 911 (992.2) - stone chips aren't a thing at this point so I'd move this down the concern list. I tend not to drive close to vehicles in front. PPF is an option but as you're leasing why fuss? Carmine Red looks good in the sunshine (not often in UK!)...
