Any regrets / do-over wishes for your Macan EV specs? …”No Ragrets? Not even a single letter?” …

Ordered basically every single option possible, burmester, rear steer, HUD, full leather, etc. but didn't get the 21" wheel for ride quality. I still rAgrAt but not sure if the sacrifice in ride quality is worth it

So now I'm thinking of going in the complete opposite direction on a non turbo car and keeping everything matte to match the lower trim and wondering which colour would match it best, I'm veering towards Volcano Grey but wanted other opinions from others that had this same dilemma

I think Volcano Grey body color is least distinguishable from the matte trim, and I ordered it partially for that reason. I spec'd satin black Spyder wheels, HGB window trim, and HGB side blade. The body color side blades are more popular, but since the side blade is a bump out I don't like how that looks. I was debating between the default matte side blade and the HGB but thought HGB would upgrade the look and match the window trim and wheels.

Completely agree with going with a HGB side blade to match the window trim, which in turn made sense as you went for the black spyders.

I'm looking to keep the blacks all the same so will probably go with standard window trim and side blade so that it matches the lower trim, despite the default urge to click everything high gloss black!

I likely would have done that if I was ordering a RWD or 4, but I wanted the 4S where the default window trim is silver, and the only other option is HGB.

If you use a matte ppf, the Volcano Grey combines very well with standard matte trim. No high gloss black on this car:

hear it, makes sense, in that situation I’d have done the same…the other option for me is to go for jet black/body coloured on everything with HGB window trim and wrap the lower matte trim in a HGB

WOW that looks awesome you may have created my favourite colour to date….it works perfectly with the matte trim and in this case body coloured works best too

Here’s our CPO being transported unloaded this spring after it arrived on a 3,260 mile diagonal cross country trip. Thinking over the different posts in this thread along with how we use ours, the two options of many that it came with that we rate for us as our most important ones, are Surround View and Rear Wheel Steering. Together they work excellently for navigating tight spaces, with RWS also working terrifically for carving country curvy corners. Perhaps that combo is also self-preservation motivated for it came with the OEM 22” carbon fiber wheels, i.e., RWS is a two edged sword when entering and leaving some parking spaces — for as we have read while it is most often a parking boon, it conversely can cause wheel rash when entering/exiting tight parking locations, making sharp city corners and similar. Yet together, those two have worked perfectly for us and thus are “musts” for our next, custom spec’d, 2027 Macan EV once our lease is over.

LOL as for the carbon fiber wheels, while beautiful and have resulted in more than a few spontaneous compliments at Porsche events, they are going to be passed over on the next one.

On our 4S the one regret is not getting something to fill the space of the chrono clock/timer. I do not care about the functionality of chrono/compass etc but the top of the dash looks weird without something there. Best items I'm glad we got are rear steering, sport seats and HUD.

Agreed! I went with the cheapest option which was the compass as a result.

I live and work in an urban environment and I sometimes feel a tighter turning circle would be very handy. I am constantly having to squeeze round tight corners. The basic sound system is ok most of the time. When stationary it’s pretty good. Once you drive off music becomes a bit of a mess. Should have spec’ed the Bose.

Just taken delivery of mine yesterday. Other than a P&C certificate issue that's being resolved everything is perfect.

Except... who signed off on those sun visors? Have they ever driven north or south? Will be looking for a third party extension or will invest in some dorky sunglasses with side panels.

I’ve had mine for just a month now, very light usage so far. I am also having a P&C certificate issue. I’ve been on the phone with support twice for over 30 minutes and I think I’m going to have to call again. I thought it was my fault due to incorrect email usage the 1st day I had it, but your comment makes me think the issue might not be because of me.

love the carbon mirror option, never use the passenger display, will not get that again. love the matte black rims (22's). I am going to wrap the 2026 I am ordering vs. ceramic coat the car. I have a 2025 now.

When you say wrap are you going to put clear PPF on it or are you talking about a color change PPF?.
