The wife's Macan was easy to program to never do the engine shutdown at a stop, press a few buttons and done. It was trickier to program it to unlock all the doors when I am driving. Usually if I am driving, it means we are hauling friends to dinner. The manual recommends turning off the auto engine stop during break-in. The starter is more robust and it starts instantly, but I just can't see it saving us more than 1/2 gallon per year in the types of driving my wife does.

The lane warning thing is part of a package that just makes a noise, it does not mess with the steering at all. It also has blind spot warning. It is cool to see the lights on the outside mirror if something is there and hard to see, but in all my driving I have never had a problem with changing lanes.

The headlights turn with the steering wheel, kinda cool in a dark neighborhood, but again, never an issue for me. We did not order the adaptive cruise control. I can handle that as well. One of my friends that has the adaptive cruise said he was just tooling along in traffic and finally noticed he was going 10 MPH under the limit, because the car in front of him was following a slow 18 wheeler.

The neat feature is the cameras in 360 degrees. When moving at parking speeds or backup up, the ground around you is easy to see in 360 degrees. It is astonishing how it can show the ground from every direction and it looks so seamless. And of course it has sensors if you are getting close to an object. That is a cool thing.
