To my eye the rears look perfect but the fronts look just a hair too low esthetically. Might look different live.

Looks awesome! You have pretty much the stablemates I have pictured in my head. Love the GTI and GT4 and of course the Macan for the wife (really for me too).

Thanks a lot. The GTI however is for the wife lol. Doesn't look that way on the surface but she's the breadwinner. I bought her the GTI hoping to be a sort of gateway car/drug. I felt it wasn't working but then she agreed to do her first AutoX. She has done several since.

Funny I did the the very exact same thing driving it home from delivery. In that setting it's just enough feedback and the floatiness is all but gone.

First big snow here in MI. Went out with some friends in our winter beaters and did some hoon! Will post video later. The GTS in offroad mode did quite well. We got about 6 inches of snow and I had zero issues. This was on the cruddy no seasons.

That's awesome, great pictures too. I was a bit nervous to take it out but had no choice today and tested it a bit on snow and ice and I was really surprised how well it did on the all seasons. Very well planted vehicle.

Yeah super solid. Never had any issues. Quite the amazing CUV. Just wish it had a bit more rear bias when in sport modes.

Now that I've had mine for a while, they could've lowered it a little more. In low and in the firmest setting, in has good feedback though. I was worried about the AS, but in the GTS, it's acceptable.

Love your Macan. I have a thing for white and black cars too. It looks great lowered. Love the snow pics as well.

^Thanks a bunch. I have been doing the storm trooper thing for a few years now but I am really considering going grey for the next car. I quite like Agate though Volcano grey is so pretty in person. I am one of those folks whose wardrobe, furniture, etc is 95% black, white, or grey. Though I have always wanted something wild yet understated like a blue V90 R design. Shame it has no anger under the hood.
