Last night I had an episode of doubt where I almost regretted spending quite so much of a car when I could have bought something cheaper (or stuck with the Evoque).
And then, this morning I drove the short, gently curving, country lane toward work and those doubts got swept away.
I also almost forgave PCM3 for being a bit crap.

Reviews suggest that it's better than previous incarnations. Hope so as I'm quite interested in getting one (hatchback in my case).
Will test drive one as soon as available.

Invited to the PEC at Silvertone today with my wife to try The Macan, Cayenne and Panamera. About 20 or so people there split into 4 groups, 6 in our group. We chose the afternoon session as we had to drive there from Lincolnshire and didn't fancy a very early start or an overnight stay. We each had a car and instructor for the first session. I had a Cayenne S for a series of laps on the track, getting tips from my instructor and gradually building up speed, passed most cars on the track, I was encourage to really push the car. Next was a Macan Turbo on the skid pan, with the electronics fully on you could drive over the kicker plate with your hands off the wheel and it would correct itself remarkably quickly, you really struggled to make it spin. Even with the electronics fully off you really had to do something silly to spin it- honest - I tried quite hard! Then a few fast laps in the Macan Turbo. I hadn't driven this version before and was surprised how much extra grunt it has compared with my S version, passed everything on the track! After a tea break, the instructors took us on the Offroad track using petrol Cayenne S's, very impressive, pity we couldn't try driving it ourselves. Then it was trying a Macan up the skid hill and purposely provoking it into a skid, managed to leave the top of the hill completely broadside! Next it was swop to the Panamera for some fast laps round the track. The inside of the car and especially the dashboard was very impressive, but the car as a whole left me cold, too clinical for me, certainly would pick a Macan Turbo PP over a Panamera if I was going to spend that much money. Last session was a classroom one and fitness centre visit before having afternoon tea and hitting the road back to Lincolnshire. A good journey on the courtesy Cayenne S before I hopefully get my Macan back tomorrow after they have fitted the new PCM to cure my display problems, if it's not cured this time it's being rejected as they have previously replaced the wiring harness, then the drivers display unit and now the PCM.

Just wait until the withdrawl symptoms start after you have not driven the Macan for a couple of days.

Similar to my own range day yet different.
If you liked the Turbo then the Turbo PP is in a different league again as it is the PP that I drove on the handling circuits.
