Does the 2020 Macan (all trims) have instant throttle response in comfort mode?

Heh, looks like its got the same problem as the Panamera. Driving in sport mode is a bit overkill and another user said over in the Panamera forum that he switches between sport and comfort constantly. Not sure what to do here except get ssomething like Sprint Booster.

Depending on my mood, I’ll switch to manual shifting and Sport for better throttle response and lower-RPM shifting.

I drive around switching between those two often (well actually Sport+) simply for better throttle response. I don't love that the car squats lower and suspension firms up just to get better response.

This is one of the times where I wish you could customize some of the settings. I would far prefer a throttle mapping more akin to Sport but the shifting pattern like comfort for everyday driving.

Is that the case for Macans with SC?

I do have Sport Chrono. I don't know but I am totally willing to try this out. What is individual mode? I have been through the manual a few times and have not seen this although I am happy to admit if I missed something

With a 2015 Macan Turbo with Sport Chrono and Air Suspension, I can:
1. Set the PASM to Normal, Sport or Sport+
2. Set the ride height to Normal, Low or Off-Road
3. Set the throttle mapping/shift points to: Sport or Sport+ (Normal is not selecting either of these)
I typically drive with PASM set to Sport or Sport+, unless it's a crappy road, then Normal and the ride height set to Low
(with the Cargraphics unit enabled)
There's nothing called Individual in this vehicle.

I generally drive in Individual or Sport+ and sometimes just Sport. If I'm tooling around town or driving on the highway, I use Individual mode. The ride is nice and the throttle response is excellent. For winding backroads, it's Sports+. It firms up the suspension for spirited driving, but it's not harsh.

If one is looking at a Macan S with some options, the better choice is the GTS. It is simply brilliant. I notice no turbo lag and a fabulous ride with the standard air suspension and 20" tires. It is really the standout in its class.

The GTS wasn't available when I ordered mine, but if it was, I'd be driving a GTS.

I have a 2021 GTS on order, and have specked 21" Spyder wheels with summer tires. For those who already have a 2020 GTS with the 21" wheel/tire size, do you find the ride over average road surfaces too harsh? I still have time to switch to 20" wheels and rubber for ride considerations, but I really do like the look of the 21" Spyders. The trade off between performance and ride quality is what I'm trying to get a better handle on.
