meh. I love having the adjustable air suspension in my Cayenne. I did have a problem with it faulting because the computer though the pump not pumping pressure fast enough. $30 pump piston ring and seal . . . 15 minutes and done. (read; not a "HUGE no-no"). It's kind of sad that people get scared away by problems that they don't understand. Some even convert over to steel springs, just so they can understand the system.

On the Macan - my only reservation would be the size. The Cayenne is already pretty small. (compared to other ut's) Really great urban vehicle. Great on long interstate trips too.
