As the problems with Lane Keeping seems to be manufacturer wide, I wonder if it’s the safety rating agency’s requiring them to be aggressive to ‘protect‘ inexperienced and hopeless drivers. Perhaps if they’re not aggressive enough then the car doesn’t get 5*

I haven’t got it yet. I sell my car next Monday and Polestar comes next Thursday. I really need a SUV type for access but they are about £ 3k for a month whereas the Polestar is £ 800. I’m sure it’ll make me appreciate the 4S when it arrives. I‘m selling now as I am convinced the residual on my...

WLTP may be nonsense, but it’s nonsense for both models !

Mine should be arriving late Feb / early March. https://porsche-code.com/PS8Y2FR1 I have sold my current car so hiring a very cheap Polestar 2 for a month.

In the UK the iX is either a 40 or 50. In terms of performance the iX50 is a little slower to the Macan 4S - 0 to 62 mph. An approx 1 year old car with few options is for sale for £ 69k - the list for the same spec new is £ 106k. WLTP efficiency is given as 2.9 to 3.3 miles / KW. The 4s WLTP...

You made a very wise choice when you went for the 4S and not the RZ. When I was discussing selling my May 23 Takumi the sales guy who I have dealt with before, said Lexus would not buy my car unless it was a px specifically against a new RZ. The reason Lexus are subsidising finance and giving...

According to the App - The car was ordered on 31st Oct. Just after Xmas I ordered a 4 and was told earliest would be late April but would probably be May / June. Sales guy called on the 6th Jan and said they had a 4S allocation free as a client had cancelled and Then said if I upgraded to a 4S...

Having just lost 50% of the purchase price on a Lexus RZ 450e in 20 months I have been researching the expected residuals like a hawk. I have also been closely watching the Autotrader site for new and ex demos as I was originally quoted delivery in May. Today there are 20 4S’s on Autotrader...

As there is a printed version I’m surprised there isn’t a pdf somewhere on the web.

Greybeard72. There are many hours hrs of Out Of Spec - ordering, collecting the car, 3 episodes taking the car home, setting up the car, comparing to Tesla, range test, safety features. Already posted on another thread is a UK Youtube where they drive 6 EV’s from 100% to 0% on a motorway...

tommjw - the main thing now is to ensure the cars are registered before 1st April. I expect them to change the exemption from the ‘expensive car supplement tax’ some time in the future but at least now we should avoid a total £2k over the next 5 years.

Porsche must be expecting the residuals to hold reasonably well in the UK - if you look at the cost of a base Macan 4S then look at the PCP offered then the price to buy after 3 years is 55% of the original price - admittedly without options. Perhaps they are covering for a deeper drop in...

Having come from a Lexus where there are no options other than internal and external colours, I find the Porsche approach far better. With Lexus and now Merc’s, Audi etc. if you want say a sunroof in Lexus world you have to buy the model that comes with it and at Merc you have to buy the...

tommjw- it looks like our cars may be shipped together. My order is frozen. The App is saying my 4S is going to reach build on the 27th and on the way about 2nd to 4th Feb and arrived in dealers sometime between the 1st and 12th March. Fingers crossed.

Do you get any heat or aircon with Eco Plus - I read on here that it closes the fan off and vents closed but the dealer has told me it just reduces the heat or aircon, not turn it off. That struck me as sensible as if all it did was switch it off you could do that anyway. The reason I ask is...

Call me old fashioned but no HUD and a speedo on an iPad, I’m not sure I could get used to that. I test drove an Audi that had digital ‘mirrors’. I had to take my eyes totally off the road and look down, couldn’t see me getting used to that. Asked the salesman if the cameras were heated and he...

As I have ordered a 4s I’ve been viewing a lot of reviews on YouTube. I found the Edmond’s one to be highly biased against the car. If he wanted a track drive he should have driven a Turbo In my humble opinion. The reviews that I find the most informative and are wholly independent are the Out...

Yorksjar - I have Michelin Cross Climate 2 tyres on my Lexus RZ and I have found them to perform well and be quieter than the Dunlop Sport Maxx summer tyre fitted - I have looked to see if the CC2's are available for my Macan 4S coming in March with standard S 20" wheels - they are BUT I think...

Apologies for my ignorance but I haven’t got my S yet. In my Lexus RZ Apple CarPlay the Apple Maps cannot show satellite view. Is the Macan the same, so you can get Maps in the screen and HUD but not in the main screen as satellite ? My Range Rover would display satellite view BUT it consumed so...

Darren. I switched my order from a 4 to a S and got a cancellation allocation. Order is now frozen and delivery expected between 22nd Feb and 10th March. Sounds like our cars may be in the same consignment.
