That the sat nav map returns automatically after a phone call has come in.

Adjust the sensitivity of the parking sensors.

And to echo others - close the tailgate with the key

Stop the blind moving with the mirrors

1. Something to stop water pouring into the boot when opening in wet conditions (not easy I suspect).
2. Better Satnav ie less susceptible to odd quirks.Including an easy & quick( permanant) mute feature for satnav.
3. Voice control that actually works.
4. Stop radio turning on every time ignition is started.

Blimey so many basic usability faults. Don't think my BM suffers from any of these (except you can't close the boot lid from the key which I suspect is a nanny state "feature")

500PS and 100KG lighter. 
That's quite easily possible.
Spec a new one with just SC no air pano 19"so etc.
But I drove one the very same and it didn't feel any noticeably quicker than my heavy optioned Macan ie tow bar Air Pano 21"s PTV

500ps is easy via Racechip jonmacan2017-04-15 09:53:33

All the above plus ....... permanently illuminated speedo & tacho, not that I ever look at the speedo and rarely need to see the tacho. Would look better than two black holes though.


The optional white dials also fix that problem...

That analogue speedo is as much use as a chocolate fireguard but apparently another Porsche "tradition"

- Android auto (available from all major car manufacturers - except Porsche)
- Close the boot from the key, or better still a foot activated open/close like the F-Pace has
- Track skip buttons on the steering wheel (my Volvo has this and I miss it in the Porsche)
- A setting to automatically fold the exterior mirrors in when the car is locked
