Some animals are more equal than others
Remember this?
George Orwell, yes it’s Animal farm.
I didn’t enjoy a bit of this but I had no choice! I was stuck with this for the entire senior year.
So being more equal got me this!
My neighbour rocks up!
Well, his got that awe to his presence too!
Don’t you want to drive?
-Of course I do!
However, I didn’t insist further. I continued waxing my beauty.
Now! He screams, while getting out of his car and heads home across the street.
Yes! That’s right.
My neighbour whom I haven’t seen for 4 weeks, who I meet occasionally left his Porsche idling on the road for a broke ass, nail biting, un-showered, haven’t shaved-in days, kid to go joy riding.
Behold, the drive!
I think having adjustable seat is a luxury, like no shit!
But having it happen by the push of a button is utter bullshit.
You just sit there aimlessly as your ass moves forward in a robotic motion to the end of time.
But nevertheless, Ray Ban Aviators, scruffy beard & no money.
Suspension hardened, sports mode active, exhaust noise loudest ( because, I’m here bitches!) & we are Go! Go! Go!
Interior: pretty much like the boxster GTS.
As high as I am, I can still feel the boxster within the Macan.
I got two kiddos riding with me: 7 & 11. Surprisingly giving me a layout of the fancy gadgets and buttons, it’s like we’re in a Learjet and this is the checklist🤣👻…
infotainment is brilliantly user-friendly, because iPhone connected. French Montana, for control.
Somewhere between adjusting the seat and pressing buttons we’re picked up X.
X, embraced Africa with sandals and shorts.
So I’m a car guy- which means I prefer stick. I love the spiking revs and crackling exhaust tones which the macan lacks.
Doing 60km/h in 3rd, I flick the lever, 2nd is achieved almost instantly and again, almost instantly my foot punched the metal.
There’s a split second of a delay before the nose raised and we were off to the moon.
But… this delay bothers me.
It’s not the gearbox. I call it a soccer mum safe pedal.
Considering the macan being a hot mamas ride. She could accidentally and purely out of anxiety push the pedal all the way and this delay just allows her to rectify this action from actually being processed. Especially at the school car queue.
However, being disappointed with this Isn’t the only thing.
Gearing down in order to speed up is totally not necessary especially anywhere between 4rth, 3rd & 2nd; there is a decent amount of horses to get you going and so the joys of a downshift are only experienced when slowing towards a stop.
I am impressed with its road holding, not for one moment do I feel less safe than when in a boxster.
I also hate when im supposedly in sports mode; if I take a tick too long to gear up it does it for me.
Really, this is annoying! BMW your 5series does the same shit!
This might change in sports plus! A mode, I’d dare not activate with the kiddo around.
This car bolts! Really for a soccer mum, maybe a touch too much.
I find fairly attractive, with the front end quite aggressive.
The seats! Oh!-they bother me. Too simple for a top spec car. Audis avants have great seats. (Well the RS range)
Other than all my complaints, it’s quiet, soft and fairly economical when it needs to be.
It’s sporty and aggressive when you want it to be.
It’s a good car.
I’ll drive it again, I’ll never buy one! I couldn’t afford to. If I could; I wouldn’t.
The poor tiger is confused, Porsche isn’t the only automaker to fall prey to this. In fact, most Germans; if not all are confused with the market.
One produces half a family car and every one competes.
E effort people. It’s innovation and technology. You’ve also sold out character and brilliance.
