Possible Porsche Convert

Welcome mate, lovely Macan you’ve got there

Now that's a lot of buttons haha how many do you actually use on a daily basis? Looks like under that flap at the bottom you've got the nuclear launch button.

Big fan of the CUPRA Ateca, what's the power stats comparison to your Porsche?

Don't get me started on "buttons" Jimbobcook

A standard Macan came at the time with 2 switches down the LHS ("Sport" & "Traction Control") + 3 switches down the RHS ("Off Road", "LDW" & "Auto Stop/Start") - so, initially not balanced either side.

I specced my SD with PASM which, as the only extra switch, gave me 3 switches at either side - so at least balanced! However, there just seemed to be a bit too much space/switch blanks to look at so I enquired about purchasing a few extra switches to use instead of the blanks. Alas, things proved not that easy as switches come in banks for either side as can be seen from this pic of the originals on LHS:-

I plumped for having 4 down each side by adding "Sport Plus" to the left and "PSE" to the right and was happy with the overall look as per RHS pic above.

That's when the fun starts though as the switch banks only come with switches in orders shown! My SD had been set up to work with PASM as the 2nd and Traction Control as the 3rd switch down on the LHS and with Auto Stop/Start as the 3rd switch down on RHS (as shown on the above pic). So now, my dummy "Sport Plus" switch works "PASM", the "PASM" switch works "Traction Control" and the "PSE" switch works the "Auto Stop/Start" etc but have easily adapted to it all!

Hope all that made sense but the dodgy part was that it failed its last MOT because Tester said the Traction Control didn't work - he gave it a pass though when I told him he was using wrong switch!

Certainly use Sport, PASM & Off Road buttons a fair bit + find the A/C buttons have a nice set up. Mind you - I've obviously added switches that have no purpose - but at least they fill a gap. That smoking pack flap is an approx £35 addition to give a lid to a cubby hole! .

Power stats of the Ateca/Macan are 300/258 bhp; 295/428 lb ft torque and 0-60 mph times of 4.9/6.3 secs respectively + I'm still looking forward to sometime getting the opportunity to see how the Ateca performs and compares to the Macan in real life

Many thanks Jay5959 - certainly served me well + a shame that Porsche don't offer a diesel anymore as the engine really suits the Macan
