You’d think Porsche would have got slightly closer to the 21st century by now. Ho hum, I guess its about the driving experience not the gadgets, blah blah blah
I was driving home south from a Concert in Midhurst at 10 pm last night and after Cocking came up bend a VW Up doing 30 mph on dipped in a 60 mph area. How I missed the matrix lights from my last BMW had to let 3 short straights was unsure of length go before I came up to a known long straight I could be confident to safely blast past it. One "gadget I miss" but not worth trading up to a Cayenne for the ability to place a main beam on either side of a slower moving car on dipped lights.
Best feature ever are the matrix lights - had them on loan Audi RS audis originally then on my AMG e class so had to have them on the 911.

Really do turn night in to day - I was also blasting back along the 272 from Slinfold to home the other night and it makes life so much easier !

Yes the pdl plus lights on my 2019 Macan, apart from LED over Zenon are about the same sophistication of 2009 BMW adaptive lights and no way near the full matrix 2014 BMW Adaptive. it's so annoying the despite them being a common option on vw group Audi's of similar size to Macan, Porsche still only offer on 911, Cayenne, Taycan and Panamera (?).

Yes you can get them on the Panny

When I asked they just said it would need a whole new unit designed and fitted and probably not a lot of point when the model is so late in life
