Hello from Belgium,
Got a Turbo last week,
Car was ordered very early after Macan ev launch sequence,
Porsche lover for long, I wanted to give a try on these PORSCHE EV after having owned 2 Cayenne (17/19 models) and 992s.
Somewhere in the middle I got a audi etron (Q8) wich can help me comparing the previous experience of a EV.
As a daily drive, I oriented my choice buying an EV car initially prurely due to taxes on sporty ICE where I leave.
To my humble experience, and after driving 500km in it and as I read a lot of stuffs ( that really helped waiting for delivery btw) about softwares, interior and all but FIRST:
YES IT DRIVES GREAT, NO IT S NOT JUST AN EV, I OFFERS SOME REALLY GREAT FUN, AND IT GOES FAST!
Plus points:
- despite some weird video seen online, finition is excellent as i can compare it to the 911 or cayenne.
I have some of the following options:
- Racetex heated wheel = excellent (again its not as soft as a leather wheel) but gives some great driving experience
- 18 way + 21 wheels = VERY CONFY, not a 911 with SPASM
- extended leather = excellent
- HUD = great, limited car play use
- passenger screen = nice use, just one thing, if you try to help your side passenger while driving --> (not ideal i know) but you ll face that limited view unless you are parked, but great option
- rear electrical sunset screen nice
- electric recharge doors ( not the best, better go for conventional to my opinion)
- rear trailer hook, looks ok
- chrono pack: i like the watch but thats it, other than that not very useful
- electric noise, turns on automatically in sport mode, could a little bit more sporty or ICE ish but bring a little plus to the experience
- tinted matrix --> awesome as always, a big +
Overall very nice interior, not noisy to drive, impressive 911 look a like driving experience especially in SPORT MODE
Minus points:
- Armest doesnt move up: im not small but long cruise would be better with some adjustments I think
- Rear view camera, not at its best but you get used to the quality
- Dont know for other parts of the world, but they positionned the fire extinguisher (at least on 18 way) in a positon where it affects a bit the way you would put bags on the floor of the pax side (while driving alone and you would grab it)
- Rear window view is restricted (get some cameras)
- SEATBELTS --> check forums reviews on it as someone mentioned buckle noise issue--> TRUE
- Purely my choice but Im not yet convinced on my rims (macan design 21), probably would have gone for the spyder instead. For those hesitating, go and see them in real, as configurator doesnt show the real stuff to my opinion, especially the black parts are satine looking (not glossy but somehow visible),
Enjoy the waiting your cars or the waiting room it you re sitting the queue
again just a humble review, not up to everybody's taste most probably, but fair and enthusiastic!
Sorry: interior picture a bit dirty, winter coming overhere
