A few options I would like opinions on:
1. Air Quality system - worth it or not? Anyone with feedback on its performance with wildfire smoke?
2. Panoramic Roof with Variable Light Control - dealer says its a must have - this was my last add
3. Leather vs Base seats
4. I omitted the HUD as I have it on my BMW IX and most of the time with sunglasses its useless.
5. Anything else I should consider adding or removing?
6. Thoughts on Lease vs buy? Typically I lease EVs, but this one seems to be perfect, fast charging, decent range (I know vehicles will get longer range and get faster charging, but I need 15 mins to hit the restroom, grab a coffee and stretch after 300 miles anyway).

This is my first Porsche, so new to all of these limitless options.

Thank you in advance for your wisdom and helping a Porsche newbie.

Pan roof. As you cannot option an opening roof with a blind, I think the Variable Light Control is essential. You've gone with the thermal glass and I think the opaque will shield the heat better than the standard roof. I certainly found it helpful recently in the high(for the UK) temperatures

I have the Magnesium leather seats as you have optioned. Good leather and I like the contrast in the seats with the black and also predominately grey interior.

I have the HUD but use transition glasses. There were mixed posts on the Macan EV forum, some saying no prob and others couldn’t use the HUD.

Ditto! Forum friends just got back from test drives in southern CA. It was hot; they said the pano roof needs the Variable Light Control option.

ok, so I added the roof, any other thoughts on the other options I chose or missed?

We each have our priorities. You have created a wonderful Cayenne as is. My wife and I love to exercise our cars enthusiastically, for again we live in a place with lots of curvy, country roads, e.g., to drive and have fun (but not to the point where we squeal tires or put us or others at risk). As you asked for thoughts, I would add in PTV+. But while it is a must to my wife and me, again your driving style might be slower and calmer, and if so PTV+ still would be a benefit but certainly not a necessity.

Here’s what Porsche and AI say about it:
