Really? I had mine “properly” set up but was always underwhelmed. Made more noise than cooling! On all 3 Macans I used.

More noticeable when you switch to another car that does it properly.

I felt it was a system designed for a car 30% smaller
Used to have 2016 Macan Turbo PHCKCL70
Previously a 2014 Macan Turbo.

Don’t know if it’s different in gen3 but mine is perfect, too cool if anything… 🤔

Not knocking, Jon! ;) Just felt that a Kia might fit the bill for Toddie, as he’s after a car that is much cheaper than a Macan, has more kit as standard, cheaper servicing/longer warranty, and possibly a more pleasing (to him) choice of colours. :)

Only joking Simon 😂 I tell you what though, if these Kia’s had the engine/suspension of a Macan (or even close) they would be ahead of it!
As it is, they are a bit slow and dreary but great tech and build quality…

Add a software update where you could choose how light/heavy the steering is.

Add Quartzite Grey to the colour pallette.

Add a 12V socket to the passenger footwell to make dash cam installation easier.

Include more leather as standard.
