So...22 years of BMWs, mainly M cars (since e46)...
Lately, I was hearing people complain about the steering feel and feedback of the M car, I have experienced rattles and buzzes, the size of the M3 grew a bit, The s55 and s58 sound, and so on...and I did not notice or agreed with most of those.
Then I got into this "lowest end" Porsche (Macan GTS) and all those things became so obvious...
The steering is marvelous, precise, communicative, great feedback and weight. The suspension (Air with PASM) is amazing and very noticeable difference even on fairly good Texas roads. The engine sound is so much better as mentioned above, there is not a single rattle or buzz in the car (although the materials are not super luxurious/different, the build quality is a notch higher).
The size of the Macan is also perfect in my opinion, not to large, very wide, fairly low for the type of vehicle.
