Have you driven a Macan?

The Macan has much more room than a G8x, and is a very well-rounded daily option that is fun to drive (at least in Turbo/GTS trim). I’ve owned both together for a little over a year now, and I find myself driving the Macan 75% or the time. I don’t tend to keep cars very long so not sure what things will look like in 6mos or so if I end up taking delivery of an EV.

Cars with steel springs sit 15mm higher than those with air suspension. You can get AS on all models but it comes standard on the GTS. The GTS also sits 10mm lower than an S/Turbo with AS. However, you can have the dealer (or anyone with PIWIS) adjust the ‘normal’ ride height which is the baseline for the low and off road modes. I currently have my Turbo set ~1” below stock, which is a little lower than the GTS - which IMHO is perfect.
