Hello from sunny Scotland.

I’m changing my 992 C4S over on the 1st of September for a 2021 Jet black turbo. Whilst I absolutely loved the 992 I need a bit more practicality (and cash!) and I think this will fit the bill nicely.

Some photos of the new car...

Many thanks to Clive for helping sort out the photo insertion issues I was having!

Welcome to Macan Register BTW.

Looking good!
We recently traded our much loved 991.1 Targa for a Macan GTS, as part of some lifestyle changes brought forward by the pandemic. Still getting used to the different ride characteristics but pleasantly surprised by the performance ??
Enjoy your new car!

Well, so far 10 days into Macan ownership and I’ve put just over 800 miles on the clock!
First weekend saw a trip up to Crainlarich to walk up Ben More, followed by a trip up to Nairn to pick up a set of Winter wheels from an absolute gentleman.
Initial thoughts:
Superb fit and finish as you would expect. The 18-way seats are more comfortable than the similar 18-way seats in the 992, specifically the thigh bolsters.
Panoramic roof is awesome - floods the interior with light, and when opened lets in the cheeky exhaust note from the sports exhaust.
Air suspension is very impressive, especially down my un-tarmacked road, even with the 21” wheels the ride is sublime.
Coming from the 992 not surprisingly I found the comfort setting a bit ‘wallowly’, however, once I put the car on Sports+ suspension and lowered ride height this tightened up the handling. It will never be a 911, but it handles pretty well for a 2 tonne vehicle.
Some great roads around Nairn where I got to feel the flow of the car and learn more about its handling characteristics…
Returning 30 mpg on a long run with a gentle right foot. 75 litre tank returns a pretty decent range.
It takes a fairly long press of the accelerator to really stir the beast in normal mode but the car wafts past slower traffic effortlessly. Looking forward to exploring the Sports and Sports + modes.
So far, really impressed ??
 
Hahaha ??

I was taking it easy with 4 alloys in the back and avoiding the countless average speed cameras on the way home… It’s been falling ever since!
 
I've only managed over 30mpg once, on a non-stop run from Sheffield down to Canterbury, then it was only 31 probably with the CC set at 77. Not the best use of a Macan!
