Default Sport+ Necessary?? (Macan 4Cyl)

Hi!
As i still have a window to alter my Macan order, i wanted to know if the Sport Chrono Package is really necessary to include in my list.
Is the Sport+ really an improvement over the Regular Sport button mode available as Standard?
Even though my order is for a Macan 4Cylinder (250hp) and not really the 'S-340hp' version, I still do drive the car in spirited style and would need it more permanently in a vigorous modes.
Thanks for your views,
W

Hard to say as I’ve not driven a 4 cylinder base model with it. I really like it on my Macan GTS although I must admit I don’t use it that frequently. But there are times where I’m certainly glad I have it. If I were you I’d probably get it, but that’s me. I’m a ‘performance option junkie’.

I drove a base without and wasn't fond of not having sport plus. I use sport plus almost all the time in my GTS. I've started using sport a bit more, though, to keep the revs down when toodling around.

Yes I added PASM also coz I opted for 21” wheels and the dealer said it’s better off with PASM..

The Sport+ Chrono Package is still not in the list, debating it!

My wifes has a 2.0t with 21 inch turbo wheels and I add Burgertuning JB1 piggyback...took 10 min to install....only one word.....Amazing! Best $390 spent in the Macan...day and night..., smooth, fast, it adds aroun 60hp, feels better than a stock macan s I drove before, the torque shines at low rpms, almost never had to use sport button.
