No right spec, no wrong spec. All to your own spec. As Ferdinand Porsche said, "I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself".
Cheers, SPL And thank you, Ferdinand!

Being collected SaturdayWell, we took it for a test drive today
And it's fine, only over some terrible surfaces did it really show signs of jitteriness
It's better than the ride on a 4 series with 20" wheels with run flats for reference
Great news, MOB. Thanks for the feedback. I'm buying a Macan on 21"s and no PASM, but haven't test driven a Macan with that spec So pleased to hear from you & others that it's fine!Similarly, I'm confident that it will be a better ride than my Evoque on 20"s given the superior engineering of the Porsche.So are you buying that Macan...???

Almost all discussions about wheel size and PASM focus on ride comfort.PASM is about much more than ride, it's about how the car corners, brakes and accelerates.PASM together with its integration into sport, sport+ modes makes a big difference to the car.I recently drove a car on 18" wheels without PASM and the difference from my 20" PASM car was so obvious.Why this lack of interest in how the car handles?It's similar in discussions about the GTS, lots of talk about colour, interior trim etc and little about the way the car drives.Our cars are Porsches. For me it's all about how they perform!
I test drove a SD with 21s and standard suspension for a full day, yet had no issues at all over some fairly rough roads. Every other Macan I see has 21s and I would bet most haven't either PASM or air. Have they all got it wrong??
I'd bet a lot more have PASM with 21's than don't to be honest....
[Would agree with you if it was my car...........but its the wife's and she just wants a care that handles well enough for her. Which a Macan on 21"s with steel springs does very well.When she drives my M5, its all stays in comfort, when I drive it, I have the odd dabble
