Quad pipes done right. I hate the ones that stick out three inches past the diffuser. My next mods would be a subtle lip spoiler and blacked out badges. Looks great!

2022 Macan S. A small sensor that was part of the AC system failed right when I got the car. Porsche insisted they had to source the part from Germany. Took them 5 months, 3 of those just happened to be during the summer. Sucked.

I have a sport individual setting that I use for daily driving. I set the steering and transmission to comfort, while having the engine in sport. This also disables ASS for me.

Back up cameras. I have a better one in my BMWs and Hyundai compared to my Porsche.

YES

I’d also recommend getting a 22 or above, which is when the interior was updated. Even though the fake buttons are extremely annoying and attract fingerprints, the pre update interior is hideously outdated, especially if you don’t get it fully loaded and are left with blank buttons.

Premium package, even if it’s just for the Bose sound system. I have it in my 22 Macan S and it still sounds pretty bad, I’d hate to imagine how the base system sounds.

I don’t really have a problem with large infotainment screens, but the gauge cluster is what pisses me off. I have an X6MC with a fully digital cluster and I hate it. Car makers are installing LCD screens to give the illusion of luxury and charging a premium for it, when in reality it brings down their production cost immensely compared to physical gauges. There’s a reason you don’t see tacky LCD gauge clusters in Rolls Royce and Bentley vehicles. Porsche has the best gauges in the industry. My Macan S has a beautiful analogue rev counter in the middle to go along with another analogue speedometer on the left. Then, there is a circular screen on the right that has the ability to display maps, music or whatever else you want. Perfect balance of old school luxury and modern technology. Unfortunately, I suspect they will be going down the route of big screens judging off of the new Cayenne.

I’ve got a 2022 Macan S and I love it. It is quite cramped however. If you want space I’d definitely go with the Cayenne if you want a Porsche. However, as a BMW owner I can’t help but recommend the X5 xDrive50e. Best PHEV SUV for 80k imo. But again, if you prefer having a Porsche I’d definitely choose the Cayenne considering your need for practicality.
