Looking for feedback on Turbo, would you buy again?

perhaps you could do the same for the UK to help others visualize options in your region.

Why? The configurator visualises it for you. What I did was explain in words, briefly, what the differences are as the person I was replying to wasn't sure.

Only suggesting to be helpful to add to this thread. Carry on.

Had the opportunity to test drive a Macan Turbo today, very impressed with it. I sold my ‘23 Taycan CT 4S last October, and miss it. Question is for current Macan EV owners, would you buy again? What options are you mad you skipped? Lastly, is there enough rear seat leg room? I am 5’ 8”, my husband is 5’ 11” and we have tall kids (the 15 year old is already 5’ 9”), the kids managed in the Taycan ok, hoping for a bit more room in the Macan (it would not be used for road trips). Would be placing the order this coming fall or winter.

I love my Macan! However, I mostly drive alone or with my wife. Occasionally, my college kids come to visit and both sit on the back for short trips to restaurants or places in our city. We use my wife’s Tesla model X for out of town trips because it’s more spacious. I suggest waiting for the electric Cayenne before making your decision as it may suit your family needs better…

I love the Porsche Macan Turbo and would purchase again. I am, however, curious about the seat comfort. I have the 18 way seat package, but was curious to know if the 14 way seats, which seem slimmer, are more comfortable.... especially when exiting the vehicle. The larger, 18 way seat can be a bit hard on the crotch area when exiting the car.

Also, my only complaint, so far, is the sun visor. It doesn't slide and can is quite useless and annoying depending on the direction of the rising or setting sun.

I would second this.... I don't have a turbo but a 4S. My only regret on my configuration was not getting the full leather package. I have the partial leather package one step up from the standard interior. It's not readily apparent from the configurator what really changes. I wish I had compared the two packages specifically in person at the dealer. I still love the car, but my only minor letdown. Personally, if I was trying to mitigate the cost, I would have downgraded from my 21 inch wheels back to 20s.

I have the full leather package (all black) in my Turbo and, IMHO, the additional panels (while not many more than with the partial leather option) really improve the overall feeling inside the car, giving it a more tailored look. Two notable areas where the additional leather is appreciated (by me) are (i) the upper door panel and (ii) the outer part of the centre console "ring". In addition to matching the texture of the dash leather (the partial leather version of the upper door is noticeably different in texture), the stitching pulls the doors into the dash, adding to the cohesiveness of the interior design. The outer part of the centre console is a high touch point and I was quite surprised to discover (when I first sat in a demo vehicle with the partial leather option) that the standard outer console was a hard textured plastic. A minor point for some but a major disappointment for me; the full leather package wraps this upper console ring in leather. I also went with leather inserts on the door panel and passenger side dash (replacing the standard carbon-fibre trim) to minimize the materials. Well worth the CA$220 upgrade IMO.

Of course only you can decide if the upgrade is worth it.

In case you're interested, my build: PSQX45F1

EDIT: And to answer the OP's question, I would definitely buy the Turbo again!

We have a ‘24 Cayenne S E Hybrid and a ‘25 BMW XM, so we are covered for longer trips. Both kids fit fine in the back of my Taycan Cross Turismo, and after the test drive, I was able to check rear seat room and think it will be fine for shorter trips (less than 2 hours) for both kids.

Thanks everyone for your input. Wasn’t on the internet much last week as the kids were on spring break. Plan on ordering towards the end of the year, unless tariffs hit.
