Did I miss the Macan turbo? Not really from a driving perspective. I did like its front seat luxury, that was unbeatable. I didn't miss the mpg's, would have average 21 instead of 28. I didn't miss its width (turned out the ski village had tight parking). I didn't miss its driving dynamics (they are far from bad, but I actually have fun in a sporty 3-series, just like the old days).

The devils advocate argument is that you could own the Tesla 3 and rent a vehicle for a weekend trip like this.
That aside, this post summed up a lot of things. ICE vehicles still matter. I knew you’d hate the Macan. And Vermont is still mostly rural.
