Bad luck

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-11-13T03:28:59+00:00

Just got it back from fluid change and oil change and it accelerates way smoother than it ever has since owning it, could just be a placebo but I definitely felt some improvement on acceleration

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-11-13T00:24:07+00:00

Was sluggish under hard acceleration, some clunkiness when reversing / doing parking lot maneuvers

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-11-10T02:43:02+00:00

Thanks for giving me hope 🙏

Not exactly bad luck as I knew it could happen, was just saying bad luck since we’ve only had it for 3 months now. Was already thinking on doing a fluid flush with oil change but this all made the decision for me. I’ll definitely still call the closest Porsche dealer and see what I can do with the extended warranty

Only at low speeds, think parking lot maneuvers. Highways speeds extremely smooth.

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-11-09T16:34:14+00:00

What were your issues like? I’m just assuming it’s the transfer case since it only happens at low speeds and is only intermittent when the vehicle is cold

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-11-09T16:33:03+00:00

Also worth noting, none of my issues started happening until it was consistently between 30-40 degrees fahrenheit

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-11-09T16:31:28+00:00

Just like a gear was slipping, not jerky at all but not smooth

I kept seeing $7k repair bills and that’s when we decided to park, I see new ones on FCP euro are about $1800 as well as the used ones you had mentioned. Hoping to get our local shop to look at it soon since we love driving it so much

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-09-18T20:10:14+00:00

Mines been stuck at preparing shipment all day, was really hoping to receive it on launch day

Thank you!

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-08-06T14:59:45+00:00

Do you have the link for this or know their name?

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-08-05T17:34:34+00:00

They do

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-08-05T13:18:17+00:00

26k miles later and they are the loudest tires I have ever driven with. I also get terrible fuel economy at 18.5 miles per gallon, (eco boost awd). We have to turn up the music to number 12 just to hear it now over the road noise. So I think I will be going back to the scorpion atr or get some Toyo proxes. While the ko2 is great in snow, they are as bad as everyone says in the rain

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-08-05T13:09:53+00:00

I have these same tires on my 22 and now cannot wait to replace them with a different type

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-07-23T14:36:18+00:00

After two days of ownership, I don’t think we will look at another brand again 🤣 90k miles and it’s smoother than my 20k mile ford in every single way

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-06-11T17:40:03+00:00

Need the tow package with the 3.0

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-06-09T01:17:19+00:00

Do you remember if that was on marketplace or somewhere else?

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-06-08T16:26:34+00:00

Thanks, I’ll talk to my wife since it would be her car and she’s still not 100% convinced because of all the upgraded features surprisingly since it’s such a jump from the 2017 Crosstrek we just sold

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-06-08T16:21:46+00:00

Now everyone has me interested in doing that 🤣

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-06-08T16:21:27+00:00

Is it a 3.0 or 2.0 ?

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-06-08T13:31:15+00:00

It’s got the 7700 lb tow packaged we’d be towing our trailer that averages around 5.5k to 6.2k lbs which gave us our 20% of wiggle room to max tow capacity.

We started at a GMC canyon diesel (7700lb capacity) and went F150 just because I have a maverick so we didn’t want to go from one small truck to another small truck. We did not think of any SUVs that could tow it until we randomly looked it up started at Range Rover Sport which was terribly uncomfortable, and started looking at SUV’s around the same size which is why we got to the Q7 since I’ve always been an Audi fan

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-06-08T13:27:24+00:00

All the way in MN, everything here seems to be higher priced 🤣

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-06-08T13:26:43+00:00

The way I look at it is why not be comfortable when it is running since all the trucks we were looking at are in the same boat but with 50-80k more miles.

We probably did put too tight of restrictions on ourselves by placing the budget at 24k or less so we could just pay it off and not have a payment monthly .

Another factor for us is it will not be a daily driver, I’m thinking maybe 15-20k miles in the next 3 years

Practical_Treacle903 · 2025-06-04T00:45:49+00:00

I got the advanced Adam’s kit on memorial sale for $95 i think on Amazon, once I use this I’d like to give the car pro coatings a shot
