Still sounds good without sports sound package?

[Gazzamaccan]

Hi all, does the base Macan still sound good without the sports sound package? ie does it sound sporty...I missed that on the options list and disappointed it can't be done aftermarket either after watching reviews, I wrongly assumed it would be a standard thing. Failed in my homework!!

yes. i didn't opt for it. and I have no regrets. you can still hear the motors pretty well.
i was much happier putting that money to other options

I didn’t option it on my 4 either and am happy with the base sound. My dealer said it can be added later, but am not sure about that.

You still hear the motors...but the sport sound is cool IMHO..

Would I be upset if I did not option it? Not really.

Sports sound probably good for short journeys.
But I guess many turn it off on longer journeys and when listening to music.

The dealer is wrong. Unlike with the Taycan no options can be added post-delivery.

I have the Sport Sound package and feel that it does add to the feeling of sportiness in Sport and Sport+ mode, but it's not a huge difference in my opinion. I'd be fine without it.

I'm likely in the minority but I own the sports sound package and I think it is worth less than $0. I would never buy it again.

I had the Sport Sound in my Taycan and thought it sounded gimmicky. I only tried it a couple times in a year. I'm more of a "quiet" car guy. I didn't include it in my Macan.

I am not a fan of fake sounds, so I intentionally did not order the option. Some may like it though, and that is fine.

Don’t waste thoughts on it.
I added it last minute and it’s quite a waste of money. It’s fun to use it on a mountain pass but you don’t really want it during daily driving.

 

[jsclarke]

I paid for it, and after trying it, I leave it off now. I wouldn't buy it again

My 4S came with it, however I turned off, I pref good music in a quiet car while driving spirited !!

The jury is still out for me. Sometimes I like the sport sound, and sometimes I turn it off. If I'm driving hard/having fun, I probably would tend to say I like it on. That said, even when commuting, I tend to keep the car in sport or sport plus 90% of the time, which (as I have it set up) activates the sound automatically, and I'm thinking about toggling the default to off for a bit to see whether I miss it. The one useful thing about having it on for sport / sport plus modes is that it reminds me that the car is lowered, so I can remember to toggle back to normal when parking - and avoid scraping the front spoiler on the curb.

My feelings as well. I occasionally turn on Sport Sound when I'm doing some spirited driving but generally have it turned off. Likely not worth the money for most buyers.

I'd let that go. I did buy it, mostly to tease my nephew. I've only used it the once and would not miss it in the least.
