I have skipped the argument section of this thread and just have this comment, as I have RAS and find it very noticeable:
Try driving below 10mph and waggling the wheel back and forth (make S's) - in a parking lot, down an alley, whatever. You should feel a sensation of the rear end floating...
The way I compare is when I bring takeout home (or do a little crop dusting after parking before I get out). In my 2020 Acura MDX, the car would sometimes retain some of the odor the food (or I) left behind when I next got in the car. In the Porsche, I can smell nothing of the sort. Likewise...
My wife is not a car enthusiast, but it was a beautiful day for the event, in Dallas’s White Rock Lake (I call it Dallas’s “Central Park”), and they had a food truck (“Fish & Fizz”) that my wife loves, which serves excellent gluten free fish and chips. So, since it was Mother’s Day, we just...
I did. My main concern was that the system would require expensive maintenance. My SA assured me it would not. Time will tell.
In any event, the system seems to be very good. Someone mentioned in another post on this forum that it seems like their car gets dusty quickly. I have not had that...
Saw a black one yesterday on Central Expressway in Dallas. It wasn’t a turbo, but I didn’t see it from behind, so I could not tell what model it was.
That makes 4 (other than my own) that I’ve seen in the Dallas area since I started looking for them in January.
FWIW, it looked GREAT in black...
I like it most of the time. My best friend was in the car w/ me on a longer drive last weekend and volunteered (unprompted) that he thought it was cool. My kid, his kids say they like it. Arguably it's a little drone-ey at constant highway speed, but when accelerating and decelerating, I think...
Also, from the Porsche App, you can tell it to "start pre-climate" - either by designating a pre-planned departure time, or to just turn it on - it will stay on for up to an hour if you want.
I saw a Macan 4 in Ice Grey w/ dealer plates in Dallas last week. I almost don't count it because of the dealer plates. . . But it was out and about, not on the dealership lot, at least.
I have both PTV+ and RAS on my "loaded" 4S - the Turbo had both as well. On mine, I didn't get innodrive or HUD (didn't want HUD, slight regret on not getting innodrive, maybe, but this isn't likely to be a road-tripper car, so seemed like something I might not use much).
So, first off: if anyone is going to be in LA and is wondering if it’s worth $800 to go to PECLA for a 90 minute driving session w/ a pro coaching you, let me tell you - it’s SO worth it! Just a really cool experience. I wanted to do it, in part, to resolve my FOMO over getting a 4S instead of a...
I think the interior/exterior color combo looks good, although I might do gloss black side blades - I think the contrast of the blade adds some balance to the silhouette, especially on more neutral colors like dolomite silver. Also, fwiw, if you haven't locked yet, I think the rear axle steering...
Fair enough. My tone was too sharp and was misdirected irritation over other non-owner posters' imagined gripes elsewhere on this forum. So, @cometguy, I apologize for the tone of my prior comment. Now, in terms of @cometguy's gripes specifically, I think that owning the vehicle is a key part of...
I'd heard that they discontinued Papaya, which I thought unfortunate. Glad to see you were able to order one in that color (or, I should say, colour, since you're Bri-ish)
FWIW, the swipe to open works flawlessly on my frunk. The kick to open on the rear hatch is less reliable/harder to engage.
I've had no trouble with the park button - I do have to push it firmly, but I hear/feel a click (and see P light up on the screen) when it engages.
My main 'gripes' are...
