Went out on a night drive in the Macan to evaluate the LED Matrix headlights and cabin illumination from the interior lighting and displays. I am used to the steerable headlights on my Subaru. I really appreciated these when handling curves and turning at intersections. The Macan takes an...

I understand that there will be some discoveries that aren’t quite what you expected. There were some for me, too, but it is better experience these before the delivery. Hopefully the good far outweighs any disappointments. Seeing the car you imagined for the first time in person is difficult...

Tripped me up too! Set the mode to Adaptive mode. Activate Innodrive by pressing the “Lane Keep Assist” button (on the underside of the Driver Assistance stalk circled in orange below).. Don’t forget to pull the stalk toward you to set the speed. Bump the auto set speed up or down by moving the...

The Android OS was chosen as the base operating system to make the software run faster. CarPlay runs just fine on top of it. I use CarPlay almost exclusively. (Definitely I am an Apple fan as full disclosure). Also CarPlay Nav is nicely integrated with the HUD and function buttons as is Siri...

Each Macan is different and reflects the owners priorities. Make sure that yours is optioned with what is important to you. Also, there are plenty of EVs out there if one suits you better, but I’m quite happy with the car delivered to me.

@Diego : looks like ours are comparable. We are both over 320 miles (515 km) of range making us both above the EPA estimate of 308 miles (495 km) of range on a 95 kWh battery. Yours is better though :) In mi/100 kWh Yours: 28.8 mi/100 kWh Mine: 29.6 mi/100 kWh or In km/100 kWH Yours: 17,9...

Yes. Thanks for catching my mistake. I corrected it to say AC only now. That is why I save the AC and DC charge port by mostly using the charge port that is only AC.

Here is the full review also linked above

Yep

My detailed review is here

Hi All, Please read the first impressions post if this post is too long. This post is for those seriously considering the Macan or others who have already ordered. Here are some additional details after 3 days and almost 200 miles (321 km) to expand on my first impressions posting. Heads Up...

One more delivery day detail: Funny story (at least in retrospect). On the drive home from delivery. I tried to adjust the side view mirrors and accidentally folded them with the folding mirror switch. I didn’t know to look for such a switch and could not solve the problem until I got home...

Important Note from delivery day: I almost forgot to mention that US Macans will get support for adaptive headlights (if you ordered LED MatrIx headlights either as part of the premium package or separately). This was a big deal for me as visibility for both you and other drivers improves...

Here are a few more pics: btw tha pink hue is some lighting artifact. The green strip indicates charging is active.

First road trip is going on today. Highway is smooth sailing, comfortable and fun! I’ve only used ACC so far. Innodrive will come later. I will comment further about rough roads as I experience them and detail much more in my longer review. Soon…

My delivery was yesterday (September 28) as I post this. Thanks to Porsche Cincinnati Kings (aka Joseph Porsche) for a smooth delivery experience and Macan in excellent shape out of the gate! Thanks especially to Mike. Full disclosure, I get nothing for the endorsement, but credit where it is...

Yah. My car is waiting on truck transport too as of yesterday. Only 500 miles for me. At least our cars have completed their sea journeys. Apparently Amethyst Ace is headed for Tuxpan port in Mexico now for still more deliveries and maybe pickups as well.

Amethyst Ace arrived in Baltimore between 2 and 3 AM this morning. Macan 4 and Turbo models should arrive at Northeast and Midwest dealerships this week And probably other VAG cars as well.

I definitely understand your perspective and thought almost exactly the same until days before my freeze date. Also thought it might be a combination of preproduction and/or technique. As Steve Jobs infamously said: ”you’re holding it wrong” … and then Apple fixed the antenna problem. I...

Initially I didn’t spec rear axle steering, but also heard so many great reviews, I added and suspect it will be a great decision. Tried to talk myself out of powered charge port for the same reasons as stated above. A friend with a Tesla commented on it being standard and suspect I will enjoy...
