Is waiting feedback from Toyota SE.

Yeah as far as I know no batch has one - and sadly it's blooming keyless (an option I was definitely NOT going to get for the Macan). At least it's relatively simple to disable key transmission, but I have additional physical security as well for ease of mind. Reminds me of the days before immobilisers :/ Not that an alarm stops anyone these days either.

Depends what you want it for - for track, certainly, you'd want to be it something with a bit more oomph/do something about it - for UK roads though it's actually nice to be able to pin it through a few gears and still be legal at the end of it. As impressive as stuff like the A45S was, it got to the limit so quickly it was over in a flash and then you're just sat there.
