@@maggyh199 I love it! For my use, it’s perfect because it’s quick enough when I need it to be. The ride is smooth, it hugs turns tightly, seats are comfortable, trunk is a great size! The only two things I hate are the cup holders and Apple CarPlay. Drinks get in the way of the gear shifter and CarPlay isn’t full screen, but the car itself is great so I’ve learned to deal with it. The back seats are a bit tight, but we don’t have kids and we only use them for the dogs.

I love my Macan. It’s a great all rounder and you alway feel special driving it. Apple CarPlay only takes up the drivers 2/3 of the screen. Lot of journalists complain, but day to day it works perfectly. The 1/3 on the passenger side can be configured with a group of other functions, or you can have Porsche Nav (while listening to Spotify) or have the radio while using Waze without jumping between screens… the infotainment can be configured and once you have your settings done, it is easy to get used too!

Maybe a rating system for cars you review along the lines of: A+ - full sized spare with an alloy wheel A - full sized spare with a steel wheel B - spare tyre, not full sized (eg. 15" instead of a 17" on all four wheels) C - Space Saver Spare D - Run flat tyres F - No spare tyre / tyre goo

The DSG 6 speed in the Golf is a HUGE box. You'd never break the internals, even with the engine tuned to 450nm (proven in many Nurburgring 24 hour races). Clutches are not considered internals, so they would be upgraded over the standard ones, very easy to do. The box in the Porsche is 7 speed and bigger again, and in north/south orientation.
