Just took it for an other ride. As expected, comparison to 911 wasn't fair. For an SUV, it drives really sporty and you get used to the size really quickly. I think RWS makes a big difference, you feel it much more than on Macan EV. Even in sports, drive comfort is really pleasant. Didn't put it in Sports plus yet.As I'm looking for comfort over performance then what you have found is good news.
Things I noticed today:
- Panorama roof opens really wide
- Storage in centre console is not to bad but having keys in phone compartment is not a good idea as they stop charging occasionally (OK, I have driven a little like I stole it)
- Centre armrest is amazing, really comfortable.
- Mood modes may be quite brilliant as they are changing seating position - not sure how to program yet
- Build quality and feel is so good (better than 911 for some parts)
- Centre display. Curved display is brilliant, no issues.
- PMC/Widgets. Widgets are amazing but to explore full functionality of PMC I would need some time tomorrow. No way you can do this while driving so used AI a lot. All in all, works really well and major update as compared to Macan EV.
- Bose sounds really good, listened to Pink Floyd and was really happy with quality. Also many thanks to @Moheisen(FirstEV) for insisting to order insulated glass - dead quite except tire noise.
- Child lock. Everything (and I mean everything) operated via simple pressing button from wing mirror control panel (panel however not very ergonomically placed). My daughter was really cross. Took me a while to find out why rear doors no longer open from the inside - must have pressed child lock while adjusting mirrors.
Overall, it's a perfect GT and drives well enough in the city (it's a big car). Different league in terms of build quality, ride comfort and software. Macan EV however feels sportier and I like to think, Macan EV seating position is the reference for SUVs.
