Ordered a new Macan in new colour Papaya last year through Porsche Edinburgh. Supposed to be delivered beginning Nov, few delays with very poor communication at times but finally got car in early Jan 23.After only 4 months noticed very bad chipping on car along both lower sides. Orange paint with white underneath so didn't look good. I don't off road and am never off main roads doing fairly low mileage. I've had several new cars over the years and never experienced this problem beforeContacted dealership and basically told it's normal "road rash" and nothing they can do, even sent me pictures of a 2 year old one which was very badly chipped to demonstrate that this is what happens !!! fat lot of good that did to help reassure me.Tried going in past Porsche Perth to see what they said. They said they had not experienced any issues with "road rash" on Macans, bit bizarre I thought. They took pictures of damage and said they would pass to warranty folk and get back to me. Waited 2 weeks as no response, e-mailed again for an update and never even received a response.Owing a Porsche was always a dream for me but unfortunately it turned out to be nothing short of a nightmare.Ended up having to sell it before the damage became too extensive and devalued the car as I was not prepared to fork out thousands £££ getting the car repaired then covered with PPF which is apparently what you have to do, doesn't stop the chipping just protects the paintwork Porsche are obviously fully aware of this defect on the Macan model in certain colours but have failed to do anything about it apart from fitting a postage stamp size piece of PPF in the rear door quarter. I tried to get mud flaps fitted to help solve the issue but they advised "we don't do mud flaps at Porsche" I will never buy another Porsche again as I found the paintwork quality and durability to be inferior to brands half the price and their after sales customer service to be a disgrace. I feel they simply hide behind the Porsche badge making you feel like its your privalige to own one so don't complain !!!!!
