Well I guess it pays to recognise when what you bought isn't right. After all I once owned a 330d for all of three months.
Some of you may recall I mentioned that my father had replaced his SQ5 last autumn with a Q5 55 Hybrid. So I was quite surprised to discover on Saturday when I arrived at his house that he now has a Macan instead. He hadn't said a word about it - but then he doesn't like admitting mistakes. Turns out he hated the Audi - said it was overly complicated and burdened with far too small an engine for such a heavy car. Thankfully it seems he was able to sell it back pretty much for what he bought it for last month and promptly bought a good old-fashioned petrol-engined Porsche instead. Which he loves.
It's a petrol V6 S in dark metallic blue with full black leather, walnut trim, exterior black pack and no roof rails. Didn't get the full spec sheet from him, but it had a pano roof and he told me it had the air suspension. Looked very nice apart from 19" alloys which looked too small for my tastes (but he says it has a very comfortable ride). What did surprise me was that a brand new Porsche was wearing Hankook tyres - is that normal? Maybe Swiss specifications are different but...
