Some feed back on driving after two weeks of taking delivery of my turbo

[fsabek]

Been exactly two weeks and enjoying my turbo and loving it to the full extent.
I noticed one thing I would like my friends on this great group to give me insights on or their opinion. Noticed that sometimes when I hit a small or moderate bump on the roads especially when turning or on higher speeds that the car feels like it might be skidding or sliding or insecure. Could it be because I have the all seasons pirellei scorpion on 20’ and the grip is not enough or good enough for the turbo torque or power!!!
Also sometimes while on highway on normal mode the car lowers the height to the sport height automatically and I feel the ride to be harsher.
Not sure could be me being sensitive since the car is otherwise flawless!!

@fsabek …the machine lowers automatically at certain speeds; for an aerodynamic issue and to improve the driving position,...so don't worry, it's absolutely normal

I would be shocked if you could put the Macan (or any Porsche for that matter) in trouble because you hit a little bump, even in a corner.

You’d need to disable all assistance systems to get the car to skid/slide. If they are on, the car will literally course correct any stupid move a driver will throw at it.

@fsabek What mode were you driving in, by chance?

It does not or did not skid it just felt a little looser that what I expected

I was reacting to this:

The Macan can take quite some abuse before it gives up stability hence my surprise, especially if you’re in Normal mode.

Again i meant it felt as if it was about to skid or had some looseness

sometimes vehicles will squirm over bumps... i thought i felt that when i test drove the Macan 4...
