Would be good if there was a premium pack in UK as would add a few nice options together. No such option I can see on the UK site.

Would have thought 8 way were fine if they have memory. Want to spend the money on essentials like air suspension, ACC and off road bumper plus colour I like.drivers seat memory with 8 way seats is plausible
why are you limiting yourself to base seats?
Memory for driver seat only.Still trying to get to bottom of whether 8 way seats have a memory. lots of posts here say they don't but my dealer still insisists they do on drivers seat. UK configurator seems to back him up.
Comfort Seats front (8-way, electric)
Electric adjustment of:
- seat height
- fore-aft position
- seat angle
- backrest angle
Headrests can be manually adjusted horizontally.
Storage of personalised settings for driver seat and exterior mirror positions.
Surely storage of personalised settings for drivers seat means a memory?
Any definitive answer would be great as memory for drivers seat is a non negotiable for me.
ACC is in the non essential option must have IMHO.Would have thought 8 way were fine if they have memory. Want to spend the money on essentials like air suspension, ACC and off road bumper plus colour I like.
ACC is now standard across the board for the Macan ev, surround view standard on the 4S and Turbo. I’ve been using ACC since 2015 on the Macan and I must admit it works flawlessly.ACC is in the non essential option must have IMHO.
14-way, with electric adjustment of steering wheel etc is a more rewarding and satisfying option than a software driven item which is prone to error.
360 panoramic park assist is a must and before ACC.
Note that these options are standard on NA / US spec cars and so most folk in that region just expect.

ACC uses radar (or some other sensor tech) to simply not exceed the speed of vehicle's in front of you - you're thinking of Innodrive (Which is aweful by the way) - ACC is just better cruise control and works in stop/go traffic…Not standard in UK or Europe.
The mapping data and poor road signage in UK makes ACC, standard speed limiter etc problematic (can't use them on my Taycan GTS ST).
Agree with you on steering - as soon as ALK is turned on, my wife asks what's wrong with the car. It is not graceful nor looks far enough ahead to be graceful.- you're thinking of Innodrive (Which is awful by the way)
this has not been my experience with innodrive on my 3 different porsche's 2020 Taycan, 2021 Cayenne, 2022 911 TurboS - on all 3 cars innodrive is a disaster when it "feels" the speed limit has changed to lower speed the amount of braking it provides has almost most caused an accident multiple times - I run with ACC only - leaving innodrive in the technical trash bin of history…Agree with you on steering - as soon as ALK is turned on, my wife asks what's wrong with the car.

However, InnoDrive does a great job braking and recognizes curves, intersections, blind spots, and stop signs (but will not stop - just slows and asks driver to take control). Turn off the speed-limit monitoring when using if you do not want it to slow for every school zone!
InnoDrive changes its braking behavior depending on drive mode - when set to SPORT PLUS, you think a driving instructor is teaching you how to trail brake. Try setting your speed to 85 (reckless driving in most US states) and watch it slow to 35 in a hairpin turn by itself.

I'm glad it works well for you - but in my circumstances and the roads I drive it has proven dangerous - almost getting me rear-ended multiple times (NOTE: I'm aware being rear ended is not innodrive's fault, but I can't control how close vehicle's are willing to follow, and they have a certain expectation of not sudden/abrupt speed changes).
Innodrive has aggressively slowed my vehicle for NO REASON on multiple occasions leading to almost accidents…
ACC is great - and I like it since it lacks "command" authority to change the speed settings, and will only slow/speed up based on detected objects in front of it.
if innodrive works for you - great! it doens't for me - you're welcome to come visit me and we'll go on some test drives with you at the wheel - and I'll show you it f'ing up in real time.
