Snap. Apart from Air and comfort glass we are identical

^^^ keep the Air Con on summer and winter and in auto setting. I've never had an issue with steamed up windows ever in 5 years use. There is a rapid clear button to concentrate / boost air flow to the screen, but I've never had call to use it.

Heated steering wheel needed only if you live well up north or suffer with cold hands IMO.

Power Steering Plus well worth the small outlay, particularly with 20" or 21" wheels.

Bose if you really like your music to be home hifi standard or you do a lot of slow city commute driving.

…………. heated screen ( essential as in the winter the windows steam up really badly whatever you do with the aircon/heater ) and the heater keeps the screen clear…………..

In 6 years of Macan ownership I have never felt the need for a heated windscreen and don’t ever get problems with the screen misting. I would however say that it is important to leave the climate control alone in Auto mode all the time and not fiddle with the settings.

As soon as you touch any of the A/C settings (other than temp), it will drop straight out of Auto mode.

There is always the option of using the A/C Max button to quickly clear any signs of misting.

Clearly ( no pun intended ) we’ve had a very different experience. Possibly because you have a previous model Macan?

Things i wish I’d added.....
the sport side skirts...

Remind me, why?

Honestly, because they’re easier to keep clean than the matt black plastic ones. Its an area of the car that gets especially dirty and after a while fades to grey if not waxed. The sport ones are painted so easier to clean. I also think they look a bit better

My ability to wait til 2023 is being tested (i'm incredibly inpatient). Have requested a test drive in a SQ5 Vorsprung which after discounts is not far away from tthe price of reasonably option loaded S order. Did others try the same? If not how did you cope with the adrenaline rush of picking your spec. and putting down the order and then a flat anti-climax for weeks and weeks

You will be disappointed in the SQ5 after you have driven a Macan and I have driven Audis for 25 Years, They are good but if you want a smile on your face when you go out for a drive wait for the Macan
