Currently up on Islay in the Inner Hebrides for a week’s r&r staying with an aunt who has a gloriously remote farmhouse overlooking the North Atlantic. It’s up a mile and a half of potholed track from the nearest tarmac road.
Not exactly the Rubicon trail but still definitely more off-road than most Macans go. So I’ve been using the off-road mode and am impressed at how high the car can rise on the air springs to navigate bumpy surfaces, as well as how well the suspension deals with such a rough surface.
Good how raising it makes the sun shine too! Looks/sounds idyllic, does she like visitors, I hear there are a few distilleries worth visiting on Islay

When I first used the "Off-road" setting, I was surprised to see that PASM moved to the stiffest setting. I had expected the opposite but I suppose it's to stop the suspension bottoming out over large surface changes.
I've used 'Offroad' a handful of times but every time it kind of just overly aggressively spins the wheels - guess it biases towards a more torque-y map.
Nice view , really do like those wheels looks like a Dacia next to your Macan

Is that the “normal” bonnet gap that we should expect? It looks like it gets wider as it gets to the door.
The bonnet gap is a curiosity. After a long run up here, the rear edge corner (where it meets the front door) had slightly but noticeably flared out on both sides. Next morning, it was back to being flush. Almost as if the under bonnet heat was warping the clamshell slightly over prolonged use.
The other car is my aunt’s Subaru Forester. Island folk go in for unpretentious and reliable workhorses!
