Rough Ride

[themacnut]

I supposed that’s good to hear … in that maybe there’s something wrong with my suspension and Porsche can address OR I just need to get all seasons …

For me it’s butter smooth when the road is smooth but any unevenness or bumps on the road causes the car to rock left and right. This is all on normal mode.

Out of curiosity what did the lotto yield you in terms of the brand of the 22”

Michelin all seasons. I must have missed selecting the sportier tires when I did my configuration, or perhaps I thought I might do a little off-roading which hasn’t happened. Very happy with this tire.

Side note: That is one great looking car thermacnut. Ever since they showed your exact wheels on a reveal Macan, they have such a strong pull every time I see them.

Thanks! Super happy with this spec and wheels. The Gloss black on the wheel accent really makes the wheel look thinner and lighter with the machined aluminum surface just catching your eye, and black part blends in.

We were playing around in the configurator the other night, with the silver accent and has a very different look for sure. One other member I think has the Frozen Blue Metalic with the color matched sections, and that really pops in a different way.

Is Turbo's PASM tuned differently than 4 / 4S? More stiffer on Turbo?

Can report that IMHO the Michelin Pilot A/S 22” I just test drove felt a bit more comfortable than the Goodyear Eagle F1 Summers 22” that I own.

This probably isn’t “news” to anyone I suppose but wanted to pass this off for those considering summers vs all seasons.

Looking at Porsche overview for each model, 4, 4S and Turbo all show same PASM hardware. 4S and Turbo show additionally PTV Plus. 4S and Turbo also adds Rear Axle Steering as an option.

Given the power difference, and items noted above I would say the Turbo is tuned differently. My config has Sport Chrono, and Rear Axle Steering.

In my personal experience, Turbo Sport and Sport Plus offer a step level up each time in how the car handles, and how the power is put to the ground.

The Turbo does not come with RAS, that's an option.

Edited my original post to show it optional (4S and Turbo). With it, as I have, I’m sure the programming is different then a Macan EV without.

Now where are the UK guys to tell us it’s different for them.

Adding to all my posts: “Valid for US configuration. Your region may be different“
