    Looking for feedback on Turbo, would you buy again?

    This post has no relevance to the person you're replying to as they're in the UK. The U.S. has real leather as standard. Europe doesn't.

    Looking for feedback on Turbo, would you buy again?

    This applies to the UK and the rest of Europe: Standard The only leather to be found is that of the steering wheel rim. Everything else is man-made leather/leatherette/sport-tex Leather package Real leather (smooth leather) over large parts of the interior (no fake leather at all) Extended...

    Discount on Turbo (UK)

    I got just over 8% on every Porsche I've bought (three).

    Seat Belt Unfastened Warning

    In the last few days, my 2-month-old Macan Turbo has developed an annoying issue. The "seat belt unfastened" warning sound and symbol in the instrument cluster is randomly coming on during a drive. There's no pattern to it. It started three days ago on a 500km journey from the UK to the...

    Rear Axle Steering or Heads Up Display?

    I have RAS on my Turbo and it would be the first option I'd tick if I specced it again.

    Less than positive review

    You have your opinion and you've found videos to confirm what you think. I loved the Turbo on my two test drives, including the RAS, so I too have found videos to confirm my own thoughts. The video below by Tom Ford says you should "just buy the Turbo", and it's now the "benchmark". There are...

    Less than positive review

    This reviewer did what I think is the worst video I've ever seen for an automotive publication. I genuinely thought he'd won a competition to do a car review. He seems mad nervous and he describes the M5 like he's describing unloading the dishwasher.

    Save your preferred Drive Mode

    Porsche are just complying with the rules of the WLTP and EPA. Whether it makes any sense or not is neither here nor there. And having to do the test in the default driving mode is absolutely the reason your car doesn't start in "Sport" mode, and that you can't turn off the engine "stop/start"...

    Save your preferred Drive Mode

    As has already been stated, it's because the emissions standards and consumption figures are based on the default state, and being able to adjust the default state would render Porsche in violation of the rules.

    First quick feedback of Macan Turbo vs BMW iX

    I have an i5, so I'm well aware of BMW's charging curve. I also appreciate you can gain more range per minute at a lower power than you can in a Taycan or Macan due to efficiency. None of these will matter to people that have no experience of either, however. They will see a brand new BMW, with...

    First quick feedback of Macan Turbo vs BMW iX

    And 800V architecture, which will render the iX obselete overnight. The new iX3 is going to be a huge car for BMW. Production starts in 2025.

    Switch from eTron GT / Taycan

    22" RS Spyder rims. The car feels softer than the Taycan GTS on 21" rims.

    Switch from eTron GT / Taycan

    I switched from a Taycan GTS ST to a Macan Turbo about six weeks ago. I thought I would regret the decision but I'm very happy at the moment. The Macan is much better for daily use, and while my heart was saying Taycan, my head says Macan. The benefits of a comfier, higher ride outweigh the more...

    First quick feedback of Macan Turbo vs BMW iX

    I assume you mean Brussels.

    First quick feedback of Macan Turbo vs BMW iX

    No, it doesn't. You've misunderstood the point of the post. If it takes longer to charge something then the time is said to be "above" the time taken, not below. I was just clarifying that, not making an issue over one minute.

    Rear wheel steering… in reverse

    Macan Turbo owner of six weeks, here, and RAS is without a doubt the first box I would tick if ordering again. It makes the car feel like a hot hatch. Also, as someone else pointed out, it's basically the same length wheelbase as the Taycan, which is the only parameter which needs to be looked...

    OTA software update , does it work ?

    But it's not "one touch". It's five touches to turn them all off. I still don't get what this brings over the Macan. I can turn the two annoying features off in two touches, and with physical buttons, and without moving my hand from the steering wheel.

    POLL - Assist Issues FINALLY Fixed?!? NEW Assist Disable Menu

    I'm genuinely curious as to what advantage deactivating the warnings on the screen has over pushing two physical buttons on or near the steering wheel? Using the screen is harder in every way. It requires more inputs (to get to the screen in the first place assuming it's not already on that...

    [UK] Porsche Connect & My Porsche

    I'm in the Netherlands. My app works fine in that I can pre-condition my car and I see updated data, but the only issue appears to be that I only see the silhouette instead of images of my car. This has been the case for around three weeks.

    POLL - Assist Issues FINALLY Fixed?!? NEW Assist Disable Menu

    I'm asking you though.
