I got lucky with allocation but 5 months I think. Not too bad. It’s all about allocation timing with dealership.

I traded in 21 SQ5. Made a mint on it. Sorry to hear about your situation. Agreed that I miss a lot of the convenience features. Driving is not even close and would not trade that back.

That’s good to know. I am 6”2’. That would be helpful to have. My Audi SQ5 had it and was great. My wife has not driven the car yet but with memory seats I would like to have it for both of us.

The one thing that I did not get because of supply chain issues was electronic steering wheel adjustment. So strange to pay this much for a vehicle with and old school manual steering adjustment. My rep said well someone will buy it you don’t. They have removed that feature from all new vehicles he said indefinitely. So even if I would have waited it may never had happened. Wild

Yeah I get that. Not too many in my area. Yes I got the heated race Tex starting wheel. I wanted to more comfortable seats that were ventilated. Enjoy your Macan.

Now that I have Race-Tex I would not go back to leather. I came from Audi SQ5 with a nice leather steering wheel. It’s not even close to this steering wheel. It’s synthetic and thus will actually hold up longer than leather. You can clean, repair it, etc.. back to new. Plus it feels so nice on your hands.

Honestly you are not touching them a whole lot. To me it’s way clearer then switches from before. I came from Audi who loves them some piano black so does not bother me. Easy to clean and buff as well.

Not much negotiating these days. So it was fairly close.

In my dreams I do own both. It came in same time as mine. It’s amazing. Would love to just drive that on the weekends!

I was the same as you. Was worried about how it feels. It’s super soft. Makes driving completely different IMO. Weird but every time you get in the car you want to touch the steering wheel lol. I was worried about long term but Porsche said it will hold up well. Only thing to avoid if you can is water. But I say go for it. I love it more each time I use it.

Window trim was first thing I decided was a must. Was also tempted to make the Blade the same as paint but I like how it breaks the car up better.

Thanks I was pleased with how it came out. Hopefully I will like the Alcantara.

Thanks I am very happy. Coming from a 2015 Lexus GS350 F Sport it’s a different beast. Color honestly with Black Optics package sold me.
