    Porsche Macan...

    I've got a 70 plate Macan Turbo, it's my second in a row - absolutely love it but yeah the boot isn't huge - I just use a roof box for family hols (I have the rails fitted 24/7 anyway as I regularly carry bikes). Spec of the car is key, as usual with Porsche.

    Ok that's great - good advice thanks, I'll ask the Porsche dealer - hopefully they can be grown up about it! :)

    Thanks. Yes I have a Porsche warranty so I certainly would want to. So, for clarity - are the PS4S N rated, or not?

    That looks ace. I've got an '18 Macan Turbo and frigging love it. I may need a full set of new tyres soon - Pirelli's (N rated) on it at the mo (dry grip good, wet grip questionable) - any suggestions?

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    Hi all, Picked up a 2018 Macan Turbo last week. Question regards the SatNav - this morning I used the Nav and the car seemed to think I was permanently 15 or 20 metres to the left or to the right of where the car actually is actually positioned on the road - it hasn't quite got it's...

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    I'm in a pretty OK area, Stourbridge West Midlands. I think it's more a case that I live on a busy-ish road so the car is going to be on display/prominent. In fairness, most of the neighbours have reasonably nice cars too and I've not heard of anyone having any trouble. I'm prepared to live...

    Hi all, Very likely to be buying a used Macan next month. Vehicle security question, keen to hear opinions. I have a garage but it's not big enough, so it has to be parked on my drive. I'll put tracker on it, immediately (or I suspect just activate the in-built one if there is one factory...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Finland joining NATO is literally the most amusing news all year. Way to go Vlad, you've knocked it out the park with the strategies. :D

    Cardio fitness

    I'm 50 years old, have a resting HR of around 54/55 and on a full bore sprint I can see 190bpm. In a 1 hour race scenario I'll see 170bpm average. These guides really do need to be taken with a pinch of salt.

    Velodrome Action

    Indeed, I have an outdoor velodrome 2 miles down the road. Proper warm up and ensure you fuel correctly is my two top tips! Any particular questions feel free to ask.

    Road Cycling

    I've got a similar worry - GP5000 non TL on Roval carbon rims - insanely difficult to get on in the warmth of the house, god help me if I ever needed to fix a puncture out on the road in the cold/rain. They are the sole reason I now carry three tyre levers and two tubes as I'm banking on the...

    Hi Jonny. Hope you and your brother are well. Always around, just mostly lurking in the cycling section here as I prefer cycling to driving! Last year I did 6,000 miles on my road bike, and around 5,000 a year in my car. :eek:

    Super useful to get the car warmed up or cooled down before you get to the car. I could start the car and have the cabin warm up or cool down from 100 miles away (pointless, but it's possible), it's all done off the phone app so you don't need to be near the car at all. Also you can unlock the...

    My V90 does it, it is really useful, but not a deal breaker.
