Garage
My wife ordered her car to be built to her specs. She went for the base Macan, not for price, but gas mileage. And it is far from slow. It will get on any Interstate ramp in a hurry. She was returning from Stillwater, OK with three passengers on a two lane road. They came up behind a guy pulling a trailer going 45 MPH. He waved them to pass so she punched it, and passed safely and the passengers all said wow, and one said we are going 80! I have taught her that passing on two lane roads should be done rapidly to get back over in a safe manner.

It does handle much like my 911. And I suspect in a drag race she would out run my 85 911. Not that that is any major feat in modern cars.

The heat and air conditioning are unbelievably good. She returned from an errand, and parked in the garage. 15 minutes later we backed out, and by the time we were at the bottom of the driveway, it was blowing cold air. The heater is more amazing. On a day it was down in the single digits, we did not go 500 feet before it was blowing hot hair and the bun warmers were warming up. I have no idea how it can do that. Magic.
