Looking at purchasing a new Macan. My local OPC have a very nicely specified (£15k worth). It's a 2ltr petrol engined example.

My issue is I'm not sure how much better or worse they are compared to the diesel?

I would be interested to hear your view on this.

Looks like Colchester!

Though I am not really up on these, I would suggest the diesel would probably keep its value and be easier to move on when you are ready to.

However, seeing it sat there in the showroom...ready to drive out....I'd be tempted to buy that! I don't worry to much about resale as I do so many miles anyway, so would always go for a Petrol over any Diesel (never got on with diesel cars).

Probably hasn't helped you...sorry!

Looks a nice spec .

I've ran a 2.0 petrol and a 3.0 diesel in the past and for me the diesel was better suited to the car than the 2.0. Not slow but once I'd driven the wife's 3.0 the 2.0 didn't cut it for me so it was sold. On the other hand she couldn't tell the difference , and I thought it was fine until driving it back to back , so depends what your looking for .

I ordered another diesel to replace it which has just been delivered ready for registration 1st Sept (below) but as I've finally secured a 3.6 turbo slot the diesel will have to go straight away . I'm sure 400bhp should be even more suitable ..........
