Congrats! Once you figure out that key, let us know your impressions.

There are more buttons in these things than a 737 cockpit. I don't drive it enough to have figured them all out. The owners manual is dense. One button I have figured out is the Sport button. It's the first one I push when I drive it. Helps with the slight turbo lag from a stop.

Enjoy!

At least you can find buttons by touch without looking. I absolutely HATE most modern cars that are full of touchscreen control panels that require looking away from the road to find a button. In my opinion it’s totally unsafe.

Oh, I agree, wasn't complaining about them. I appreciate Porsche's approach here, especially not sticking a big screen above the dash line in my field of vision. The ergonomics in my wife's Macan are terrific.

I'm learning .... but not accidently goin' 85-90 on the short trip home

The speedo is now blocked (by the steering wheel position) from around 50-150mph from my view....

This is going to be a problem

Between adjusting your seat and the steering wheel, you should be able to fix that and still be comfortable.

I largely drive my Cayenne Turbo with the cruise control to keep my speed in check. It wants to go too fast (effortlessly)if you are not concentrating.

It's been a hectic car shuffle ... I have spent a few minutes learning and adjusting things ... not many.

I will RTFM ... but they are both in my parents' garage .... staying dry

KISS??? I have now violated my basic principles and everything I have ever stood for ... oh well

LOL ... she sure looks purdy .... for a truck

My week has been a blur since I tucked her into the garage last Friday... but I'll know where the steering wheel and brake pedal are... and not on I-40 or in city holiday traffic ... later today or tomorrow. I'm gonna love it .... but KISS it ain't for an analog man
