Yes, “likely a dealbreaker” set it off, and that too for just a little wiggle needed every time you drive. Not a dealbreaker in anybody's eyes.
Something like not having one-pedal drive has been a dealbreaker for some, understandably, but not this. So, somewhat weird dealbreaker.
By the way, it was more like tongue in cheek reply than “hate”. 😜

Having to change the dial each time on a $130k+ car blows my mind. This is standard in cars at a fraction of the price. Frustrating!
Frustrating ?…. this car is a real pleasure for driving and far, far , far away from any other EV the money can buy.

you can go and buy one of those cars and see how frustrating is the driving quality !

enjoy and have fun with your amazing Macan Turbo!

I have to say, being able to save specific driving settings has annoyed me in the past, like the fact that sport mode always came with sport exhaust by default. I remember companies selling aftermarket modules to change some of these default settings.

I wouldn't cancel my order for that of course, I'm sure you'll love the car! As a personal note, I have found Sport+ to be overkill in 90% of driving situations 😁

It doesn't remember... And sometimes when you are offroad and you park to get some nice landscape shots, it goes into normal which is not cool considering that ground clearance is important...

👍 @nulled in the past, I always checked the Sport Chrono box to get the dial, but this time I really hesitated, since the dial is now standard. In the past, it was also the only way to get the PSM Sport mode (i.e. stability management not entirely off), but I'm not not even sure it's true anymore, and it's questionable on a Macan anyway.

one thing though:
I mainly drive in sport mode as i like the car to be lower (it does when you go to sport mode) but in normal mode, even i f you lower the car in the settings, each time you start the car, as it goes to normal mode, the car goes back to a higher height, and u need to lower it manually if you want,
OR .... just spin the wheel and you are in sport mode but im wondering if there is any way to get the car lowered in normal mode as per some sort of memorized customisation,
thks!

I have my Normal mode programed with the lowered chassis setting and, as long I don't change to Sport or Sport Plus, it stays this way every time I start.

Oh, good to know. My problem is I switch to sport regularly, and it's when I go back to normal that I lose the lower suspension.
