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

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.

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.
