How often would you need to adjust it? It really makes no difference to comfort access because as it’s an SUV the wheel is never low enough to restrict egress. 🤔
Unless more than one person uses the car that is, and one of them has a restrictive extremity :cry:
Precisely, and (as I mentioned previously) I'm 15 inches taller than Mrs C so we have the wheel on a totally different position.
Yep. And don't forget it was originally there for a good reason otherwise Porsche wouldn't have bothered fitting one.

Take solace in the fact that adjusting it manually is far quicker to do than the electric version 😉

On that basis, they should/could ditch electric seats, windows and sun roofs! ;) :P

Well it would make the car much lighter! I think you are on to something there - I wonder if I can spec that?? 🤔

Yes, feel robbed :oops: 75-80k luxury SUV and part of the luxury element has been taken away. Sure, may not use it much once steering has been set up but this is an option I don't have on my current car and would have been nice to have considering a lot of the tech on the Macan Gen 3 is dated.

Sadly not. My car was marketed as a lightweight 911, but they only really paid lip service to that aspect (although I love my car & the ‘lightweight’ approach was not a big factor for me).

So they could have gone for things like wind-up windows and completely manual seats (mine are 4-ways). Needless to say, I didn’t spec a sun roof, PDK or other weight-adding options like rear axle steer or front axle lift. ;)
