Roundabouts on your test drives

[SteveInKirkland]

I find that taking roundabouts (at higher and higher speed) with and without sport mode enabled (4WD) on a Macan 4 gives you a pretty good idea of the differences between the Macan RWD and the Macan 4 variants. Rear wheel steering also changes this experience.

During test drives of different Macans at the dealership, I was using roundabouts to show my wife the differences in the car's grip on the road, and she reported this was the most effective method of understanding the differences (for her). I'm only passing this on because two friends have asked essentially the same question where the answer is: try the car in a roundabout at a higher speed than you would normally be comfortable with.

That is one problem with a car that drives this great... where is the best place to use it?

You should have used the Porsche roundabout video. More impressive IMHO

That video is great!

When I think of Porsche and roundabouts, this is the video that comes to mind...
The poor Taycan didn't stand a chance with that moron behind the wheel.

Driving my 4S with RWS through two separate roundabouts on my way home is one of my favorite parts of my day....
