I'm expecting this is just a safety net and the misses will get used to the vehicle, vs our current X1 (similar height, more flat seats) and M5 (lower, more sporty seats) - it's the combination of bolsters on the seat base, depth from seat to edge of car, and height. All together, made the exit...

Thanks for all the info everyone, I have now booked a test drive with the dealer, explaining I need to understand this better. He said what has been mentioned here, tap the chassis/suspension setting, set it low. Will see how practical that is in reality, as it seems like a bit of a faff.

I read the manual, and Smart Lift says you select the level, so I read that as I could set a low level at a specific location, i.e. 'Smart Lift' is a bogus term, it should be 'Smart Level'? Am I reading this incorrectly?

I see, would that then lower to the lowest level? (sorry, I have never had a Porsche, so not familiar)

Now the GPS setting to lower would be very helpful, thanks for the info. I'll check that out with the dealer.

Ah yes, I see it now. I missed it earlier! Thanks

Well, Macan sits quite high, and shorter people have to 'slide' off the seat to touch the ground ☺, so lowering would be nice. An X5 with air suspension can be lowered, it drops ~40mm I think, and it makes a bit of difference. Are you saying the Macan with air suspension has no manual control...

I am wondering if it is possible to have the suspension lower automatically for entry/exit, to make it easier to get out particularly (without brushing your legs on the side sills).

Thanks, I looked, I haven't compared the specs to my 'desired' spec, but there certainly seems like a bit of choice for new cars coming, especially 7 GTS and 7 Turbo, only 1 4S! Is it possible to determine the availability date of these, or is that just 'soon' as they are listed?

Thanks, I'll have a look there again.

Are you finding them on the Porsche website, or somewhere else?

Ah yeah, my plan is to go for a proper try, and get an extended test drive and give the comfort seats a good try.

Phew, thanks for the clarifications, I panicked! However, I would also prefer electrically adjustable steering, as we would share this car.

I recently visited a dealer to view a Macan electric with my wife, and she found the 14-way seats 'pinched' too tight around the thigh/hip area putting pressure on her back (she suffers with back troubles). We didn't get a chance to test any of the other seats, however, the sales guy suggested...

Ha, yeah good tax benefits for business users, but unfortunately I'm a private buyer (in the UK obviously).... Taycan was quite dreadful, like so many EV's they are apparently 'disposable' so value falls off a cliff. On top of the latest round of political announcements, it drives more and more...

What is the collective wisdom regarding depreciation on Macan, the video suggests a $52k offer for a 1Y old / 13k miles vehicle that cost them $99k, gulp, almost 50% loss in a year! That is crushing in any book.

Quite a short review, but I enjoyed it. Some comments on her video were quite critical about the Macan being "Audi crap", and objections to the price, especially with 'necessary' options added. As a [potential] newbie to the brand (I've ordered BMW's for 30 the past years), I recognise the...

What size wheels do you have? This is a 'common' problem on BMW X5 and 22" wheels (rear 315/30 R22) according to Kwik-Fit, as, they say, "due to the setup and the tyres being extremely wide". Fundamentally not an alignment issue, but "expected". I've no idea if they were talking total rubbish!

Why not on 4S, am I missing something (looking in configurator)?

Thanks, I will certainly look at both. The 4S is my current thinking.
