Wanted to give an update —

The Macan base is not terrible on the 101 highway. PDK kicks down from 7th gear to 4th gear really quickly. Easily hits and maintains triple digits when accelerating to pass. Handling and damping is good.

Not too crazy about the strangled warbling sound of the four cylinder engine though. It’s decidedly uninspiring. But effective. Mid-range torque doesn’t feel remarkably off from most of the other vehicles at speed. And I’d argue from a standstill, probably more AUC for torque, which is pleasant.
