Porsche are not what they used to be…
As a Porsche-a-holic I’d recommend going to another dealer for your purchases. I’m having an appalling experience with this Main Dealer, I’ve owned 9 Porsches so thought I knew I’d always be safe in the knowledge I’m purchasing from an Official Porsche Centre. However I purchased a Macan on 03/08/26 and within a week it had multiple faults (11 in total - listed below). I contacted the salesman and rejected the car by email, but he misled me and told me I had to give them an opportunity to rectify (I found out later that under the Consumer Rights Act this was wrong and that within 28days I have the right to reject.) The sales manager ignored my messages as did the Dealer Principal. It has now gone on for over 2 months and they have had the car for over 5weeks, the dealer principal has just rejected my rejection. List of issues as follows:- 1.Bonnet and front quarter wings don’t align. 2.Washer refill warning comes on continuously - even when full. 3.Rear seat behind driver occasionally has a seat belt jot on warning even when empty. 4.Several occasions when car doesn’t lock when remote key used. 5.Wireless charger doesn’t work - it occasionally shows working but then cuts out, then on again - majority of time it doesn’t work, same with the USBs in centre storage box. 6.AppleCarplay doesn’t always connect and even when connected it drops off the main screen for no apparent reason. 7.Centre screen freezes and touch control stopped working. 8.Rattle as the drivers door is closed. 9.Favourites stored on radio don’t scroll ie once I have selected one and try to move to the next station, it jumps to random stations not stored. 10.The service menu in the car says a service is due in October 2026, which as you know shouldn’t be the case because all approved Porsches should have services done if within 6months. The service says due in March 2027 (outside of 6months). 11. The volume controls on the PCM and steering wheel does not always work. Think very carefully before you buy from this dealership. Porsche UK have been very unhelpful and have shrugged their shoulders, I will never buy another Porsche….Ever. That is how poor and stressful this situation has been.
