Oak Green is stunning!
We were invited to the dealership to do a turbo test drive and two things happened. Literally two blocks before we got there, we were stopped at a red light in our 2024 iX, got rear ended, then the vehicle drove away at over 100 MPH in such a way (crossing around the centerline behind a huge truck so we could not even ID the the vehicle nor its plate). We are totally fine; our iX will be fixed (its rear end damaged but fully driveable) but with the adrenaline flowing massively we decided this was not the time to test drive the Macan.
Positively when we arrived at the dealership were beyond floored with the Oak Green’s beauty, so took three pictures, sat inside it for a couple of minutes, then drove a mile away to the police station, met with an officer, filed a hit-n-report, and then called our insurance agent.
We will double back the 30 miles to the dealership and drive the Macan in a few days. Enough excitement for one day — though tonight we are going to start configuring Oak Green with the Truffle Brown interior (a previously not thought of option). It had the Limestone and black leather interior and that looked good too)
As said, “Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans…”
Initial impressions though all have been following here have read these before by others.
* Sitting position is low for an EV; feels good inside;
*Interior sitting space is nice and large in the front (but in perspective neither of us are large peeps);
*The 22” tires/wheels (and we like big ones) are really large; two bad we are not in love with any of the 21”’s;
* In this color combination, to us, the turbo side blades are a mismatch, a disruptor to the otherwise flowing front to back lines of the vehicles;
*The trunk cargo area, while it will work for us, is smaller than we would prefer; and,
*The paint, the interior craftsmanship, the overall quality and presentation was typically ”Porsche excellent.”
