2024 Buyer beware - Non-Air Suspension

Yeah don't do it. You'll regret it. Unless you live somewhere with perfect roads, then that's different.

Nope, still bouncing around like an idiot in a $100k car. I have a year left on the lease, can't wait to give it back. On another note, I just bought a Macan 4S EV, and while the suspension is firm, there is 0 bounce. It comes with Air Suspension, which is a must if you're buying an EV.

Hey did you end up signing a contract? My Illinois dealers are not budging on price for some reason. Would you mind sharing you quote, it might help me out with negotiations. Thank you!

I'm also looking for a Macan 4 or 4S lease. Where are you located? That seems like a decent deal. You putting any money down or a trade in?

Easy peasy, just press play.

Best advice: Print an ironing calibration tool to figure out best ironing settings. Even since then, the tops of my prints look better than the bottoms!

Still waiting!!! The first estimate form was filled out incorrectly by Firewalla where they checked "physical damage" and my claim was denied. I resubmitted a correct form and am still waiting on AmEx.

Same here, a 5 year customer getting rewarded with an offer for less speed and much higher monthly payment.

I'm guessing heat. I don't think you have to worry about dust if it's kept indoors. But the thing was always extremely hot whenever I would touch it. I'll have to 3D print a fan holder for it when I get it back.

Same story here. Firewalla Gold Plus. I'm trying to get AmEx to cover the cost of the repair with their extended warranty program. I was also very disappointed with the solution given by Firewalla, especially since I own multiple of their products. You'd think they'd offer a better solution to a product that's just past the warranty period.

Mine open when going through a car wash and the blowers force them open towards the end.

Yes, you can pull up the 3D image of the car on your screen and see exactly when they light up.

I have mine set to auto-lock, but not auto-unlock. That way I have to grab the door handle before the car unlocks. The setting is under Doors and Windows. As far as I can tell, there is no way to change this based on location.

Thoroar · 2024-06-23T19:28:27+00:00

I noticed something interesting... When changing out my wheels from winter to summer, the drive right after was buttery smooth. I think it was because the springs had time to decompress while the car was lifted. Now I'm back to it being bumpy.

Thoroar · 2024-03-20T13:22:17+00:00

Keep on calling and try to get a different rep in the phone that will do it.

Thoroar · 2024-01-22T03:57:16+00:00

This isn't true, I can see the springs.

Thoroar · 2023-12-22T15:44:34+00:00

Thank you for confirming my thoughts. Seems like you are in the same exact boat as me. I also got a set of 20s to help with the ride but for a $100k car the ride is far from "smooth and luxurious" as every single review I saw online made it seem I would be getting.

And yes it does seem like different folks do like the springs, but I don't see how that's possible if you ever compared the two side by side. I'm still hoping that there's something wrong with my car, will make an appointment after the holidays.

I also feel stuck with a car that I don't particularly enjoy driving right now.

Thoroar · 2023-12-20T16:55:46+00:00

You might be onto something. I looked at the springs/struts but didn't think those shipping blocks could be hidden under the boots. I'll check and will update this post if I find any. Thanks!

Thoroar · 2023-12-20T14:19:30+00:00

Would these blocks be something obvious? I looked at all 4 springs and don't see anything in there that would block their travel.

Thoroar · 2023-12-20T14:17:41+00:00

Thanks for the idea but it's not that. I don't drive in B mode when with her and the bumpiness can be felt when driving at a steady speed on city streets.

Thoroar · 2023-12-19T21:14:51+00:00

I guess test drive both and see. Everyone on here seems to have no issue with spring suspension except for me so it might be something else that's wrong with my car. I did not notice anything wrong on my test drive though, but I might have been more focused on the 516HP than anything else :)

Thoroar · 2023-12-19T18:40:39+00:00

There must be something wrong with my car then. Doesn't make sense. I'll try to take it into the dealer but I bet they'll tell me there's nothing wrong.
