[Help] Fun or Practical, I can't decide!

Thanks!
That's very similar to what I am thinking for long run, although I might not exactly replace Macan ICE for Cayenne. It's pretty much because at this stage of my life, I haven't see the exact value of Cayenne yet, it seems still fails to cover the 5 people/6 people travel scenario although it's indeed bigger.

it's a bigger/nicer macan - but yeah it's not a "step up" in passengers - owning one I love it - the greater space is sometimes appreciated and better legroom and general space in the rear seat…

Hi Rivercrab,

I live up in Highland Park and love my 2022 CT. I purchased the car lightly used and got a good discount. I commute 35 miles round trip daily, garage my car overnight but leave it outside during the day.

I have had zero issues with the car, except for warranty work. I drove last winter on all-season tires without much difficulty -- ground clearance was never an issue. Admittedly we didn't get much snow last year but the car handled whatever we did get. I switched this winter to snow tires and so far I love how the car handles the early winter chill. Still waiting, though not rooting for, for significant snow. My range (a mix of highway and suburban streets) is about 270 miles in the summer and 200 in the winter. (My old Tesla S never did 200 in the winter.) And in the winter I always preheat the car before leaving my office.

The CT is great fun, very practical, and thus far has handled everything Chicago winters can throw at it. What is not to like?

If you live nearby, I would be happy to take you for a spin!

@DavidD - What snow tires do you have?

@Rivercrab - I have a MY22 RWD and live in Nebraska. On the tail end of a blizzard that dumped snow and before that a layer of ice. On all season, no issues getting around. Snow tires, with RWD, would be amazing. Even with RWD and all season tires, the car launches and the recuperating braking system slows down the vehicle without sliding because the calipers are not in use right away, I think that's how it works. When it does slide, it quickly adjusts to a steady control. Not sure about the science of it, but, the car seems to propel itself in a more linear and, therefore, controllable fashion on the snow. It is utterly amazing to drive on snow. Can't wait to get snow tires. Happy journey's!
