Macan S loaner

Synthetic crossover yuckiness.

I figured with the updated motor that the vehicle would be fun.

It’s not.

Damping and body control are good. Steering is heavy. In and around town the trucklet feels like the four banger. On the highway is it’s strength. Can accelerate between 60-90mph well. Cruises at 80mph sans drama.

It’s just a soulless contraption.

Externally it looks like the old EX35 (not a good thing). Inside it’s a hot mess of buttons.

Maybe I was expecting too much. But there is too much lag in the engine at low speeds.
