- This is the Porsche Macan Turbo. It has a new V6 engine and is the ultimate Porsche crossover, with a top speed of 167 mph. Putting its power through all four wheels, its launch control is aggressive, and its build quality is sensational. James and Thomas jump behind the wheel to see what it's really like. Because at $117,000 CAD, it better be good. Watch and enjoy. SUBSCRIBE!

Its great to seem them together again, it breaks my heart seeing couples apart.
Yes!
Voyeur then loool
LOL!
We could never be a real couple because he can’t handle me at my worst so he doesn’t deserve me at my best
@@jamesengelsman9369 Woah James, chill
I've never really thought about the center of gravity of tomato sauce, but you're absolutely right about it 😆
That's reason it's gone from the plate so fast
Talking about the centre of gravity of a liquid 😂
James: 6ft away--- 1 james away
Thomas: he's actually 5ft 10
These intros are the kind of hard hitting journalism that we need and deserve right now...
Throttle house is my fav Car review channel
say no more
Great work guys, thanks. I bought a Macan S earlier this year. I'm one of those strange people that wants a very sporty SUV! Personally I feel like I need an SUV - I live in Sydney, Australia. My driveway and also in-laws, friends, often are steep and awkward and normal cars bottom out. Speed bumps (in parks, at the beach) get bigger as more people drive SUVs and utes. And the roads are a bit rubbish off the highway. Basically we live in a city where - in the suburbs - an SUV is a lot easier to live with. I know it's subjective, but I'm never going back to a car as my daily drive. My kids have their own cars, the back seats are very rarely used, and with the seats down the boot is actually quite big, great for all our stuff for a weekend away with the missus. I optioned Air suspension, (PASM comes standard here), the torque vector rear diff, sports chrono and a bunch of other 'driving' options and I love it. Air suspension drops it down a noticeable bit lower in Sports Plus and I feel like it makes as close as an suv is going to get to a hatchback for ripping through corners on back roads (which I do regularly btw, every few days I sneak off for a rip!). I tried all the alternative SUVs (X3M40i, GLC43, SQ5 etc) and they are amazing in a straight line but (again subjective I know) besides that I don't think they are a patch on the Macan, if you care about the 'fun drive' experience rather than a cruiser. I would love a Cayman but (and yes, I know, the Macan is not a sports car) but I feel like I get 80% of the fun in the Macan and it's a great daily driver too. I would never buy the Turbo, the S is plenty fast for me unless I wanted to take it to a track. In which case I'd get the Cayman or similar as my weekender. Keep up the great work, love the reviews.
All fantastic reasons to have a macan S. Congrats on the purchase mate!
Thank you Thomas and James for this...
I've really missed you guys being able to drive the cars and review them.
I've enjoyed watching your quarantine videos but it feels great to see you guys out there together and back at it.
I'm so looking forward to the future uploads. #ThrottleHouse4Life
#Return2Form
Just got my Throttle House notification, life is good. I love these guys!
Quite possibly my favorite channel for car reviews. You two never disappoint!
Just in case noone else says it: I really like the new camera perspective from inside the car looking at the road while driving.
It's a great addition to your already great camera work.
9:47 If you look closely, you can see the car's "eyes" move
That's spooky
That’s the equivalent of VW’s AFS (adaptive front headlight system) it can pivot the headlight projectors up down and left right (up down for auto leveling when you are on a hill, left right for following the turn/curve). When the car starts the ignition, the system needs to do a quick calibration, hence the ´eyes movements’. Although personally I think it’s more of a gimmick (the calibration part)
@@wocaomade It's required with xenons. Some sort of law so you don't blind other drivers because of the reflector housing.
Yeah even my wrangler does that
@@pfsantos007 Very few new cars use Xenons now, definitely not the one in this video. Also, I don't recall Xenon using reflectors? I thought they use projectors. Also how the hell do you pivot a reflector housing?
Great video guys, thank you we’ve missed you!!! Can’t wait to see you guys do more videos with the actual cars in person!!!
Man, it's great to see you guys out in the wild🔥
Throttle House is the only car channel I watch from start to end. I don’t even skip the intro just for that *slap* 😂
The undisputed, best channel/partners in crime on TH-cam. Much love, from South Africa 🔥
Fun fact: the word 'macan' does mean tiger in Indonesian. The 'ma' is pronounced like it is in 'mark' and the 'c' is pronounced like how 'ch' is in 'channel'. Kind of like 'matcha' minus the 't' and with an 'n' added.
If you keep the hard c sound, you get the Indonesian word for 'eat'.
It eats up gas ⛽️ so also eats the road with that grill
Pierre Mikhael
It's a Cayman that has eaten an Audi Q5.
And in serbo/croat it means small male kitty, and big male cat would be macak (ma-ch-ak).
@@Raj-dv8bb nah, macan with hard c means building in Hindi, butter is makkhan.
@@TheOtherNeutrino and the 1st gen panamera ate a camel
Glad you guys are back at it. Great review
Let’s go! Love the honesty in your reviews! Awesome video!
100% the most entertaining automotive channel on TH-cam. Savagegeese is a close second
“Tomato sauce has a lower center of gravity” 😂
OMFG THEY'RE BACK!!!
im back bih
Great to see a new review after so long.
Im so glad you guys are out again driving cars!
You’re looking fit Thomas! Good work!
Honesty, that is what I love about you, guys. And yeah, the goofy clips are somewhat entertaining. Keep it up!
the intro was amazing guys keep it up!!!!
I strongly believe that this channel receives the fastest likes compared to all other automotive YT content. So glad to see outside of quarantine content :)
Missed you guys!!!! You are the best! Cheers from Quebec
Love the brunch analogy....brilliant!
I rented a Macan Turbo though Turo last year, and it is probably the best vehicle I've ever driven. There are cars I've driven that are more fun, but it's still entertaining. There are cars I've driven that handle better, but the Macan is really sharp in Sport Plus. There are nicer interior spaces in cars, but the Macan has really great build quality and comfy seats. It simply does everything well, while not being totally numb or boring to drive. It's actually very expensive though... that's the thing that would keep me away from the Turbo trim level, even if I am having a hard time imagining the Macan any other way.
Another review from Throttle House, and this time it's even more amazing! Another one next few days please...
Yay, welcome back!!
Favorite youtubers by far. Thanks guys
Check out TheStraightPipes. More fun than these dudes.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH as an enthusiast, I watch multiple review channels (including StraightPipes). Not a competition in my opinion.
PORSHE REVIEW Th has came thru as always 👍🏻
You guys rock, I love ur vids !
Love these intros. Never stop
The fact that those two are together is one of the only indicators that quarantine is over. Gives me hope
Love the intros, and great content
The way Thomas says "2020" is so soothing.
It's nice to see TH review back!!!
Another great review... 👍🏽
The next time someone says brunch, I will only think of James explanation
I love your videos and I'd really like to see more track test and reviews for more porsche brand cars
Love your vids! Keep up the good work. Also you guys should review the Dodge Viper acr
From the first vid, every vid they make is the best. It has that.... spice and more. They are funny, and really in my opinion one of the best, if not the best car community youtubers
The editing too, just the quality and time spent.
So happy to see you guys be able to be back at it
So glad to see you guys back in cars. I really appreciate the effort in your videos over the past couple months, but man this is where it’s at.
This has to be the best thing that’s happened in months!! Been waiting for a normal video again! Thank you guys for your hard work!!
Another stellar review guys! If I want zoom zoom, I'm buying a sports car/sedan, not an SUV; period. However, I love those trick headlights.
Glad to see some new vids!!
"Engineered the Audi out of it". God Bless Porsche.
lovely to see you boys back !
We returned on wednesday with the Civic video. Check it out!
The initial sketch 😂
The fact that don’t have 1mill subs blows my mind. Keep up the work guys 🤍
Love your intros! 👍😂
Love to see a local car channel. Here in Ontario. Most are from the US.
lmao, the seat buttons "look like a mario level". great seeing an actual car review on youtube again!
The intro sketch made me laugh so much
Question for TH: out of the 4 big ones what would you buy? X3M C, GLC63S, Alpha quadro....., macan turbo.
Yay my favourite car. I will watch this as soon as I finish cooking. Brb
Reunited, and it feels so good.
Even before starting to watch i liked the video
Nice vid boys! Question for Thomas, where is the project M3? And was Jason alot help with your trouble shoot on it??
I have a 2016 macan turbo and I absolutely love it! Im 6'5 and its perfect for me.
Reassuring to hear. I’m close to ordering a black on black on black GTS. Seems like the 14 way seats is the way to go for bigger people for comfort and not such tight bolstering. I’m in the SF Bay Area and these roads in the mountains would be all day fun with the Macan GTS. Except for being at the track on their vids and Straight Pipes, they’re mostly on flat straight country roads. This car is about power AND precise tight handling.
I loved the brunch metaphor! 8-)
My father picked up a previous gen Macan SE as his daily to replace a grand cherokee. He loves the size for around town and finds it fairly fun to take on weekend trips if he needs more space then his cayman.
Your intros are the best in the industry 😂
Facts
This channels has the best intros on youtube
so interesting video! i love turbo!
Great vid. I have a question. I have porsche 911 and now I'm thinking of getting a car with more seats. I'm thinking Macan S (2022), Cayenne coupe S, and Panamera Sport Turisumo. Which one would you recommend and why? Thanks!
Beautiful colour 😍
Seeing them in social distance mode is actually how I am with my friends. One step forth one step back. Like dancing at a distance.
Wow that's a nice car
Hi guys nice to have you gyz on the road
And what a way to come back that with a porsche ❤❤
Could you review Alfa Romeo GTA R290? That would be so awesome! Love from India ♥️
''Tomato sauce has as lower center of gravity'''..!! Haaahaa good one!!
“🤚🏼-🤚🏼🤚🏼” 😂😂 incredible
I have a 17 Macan GTS as my daily and it blows me away everytime I get behind the wheel - ticks a LOT of boxes!
How about backseat space?
@@akifqadri10 It is tight, I mean it's fine for kids! I'm 5'11 and in my driving position if someone of similar height sits behind me legroom is a bit tight, but no different than a sports sedan. It's not as bad as most people make it out to be!
What’s your thoughts on it not being as fast as the comps?
How is reliability
@@ks3788 I mean the handling and feel are great, build quality is nice, it'll probably outhandle most of them, just the right amount of power, PDK, probably wont win a stoplight battle but it's a nice overall package. Trunk space is terrible...
My grandmother bought a Macan and I've driven it a bit and she asked me what I thought. And I said not to mark it down as a bad thing but it just drives like a bigger more powerful golf... I've had multiple golfs and it just reminded me of how they drive🤷♂️
I have mine configured with the air suspension and its very worth it
I like the video while watching the ad...I don't even have to watch the video to know that I like it 😉
I missed you guys!!!! I felt that launch both times though lol. I've driven the new Macan Turbo and X3 M and the Macan is hands down better, haven't had the chance to drive the Stelvio Quadrifoglio though I heard it's the only real competition for this..
Ive never driven a macan turbo but i own a stelvio QV and this car is addictive. Its a little more performance based than comfort based than the macan I think
this show is so good
These guys are the funniest car guys on TH-cam 😂
Reunited and it feels so right
Love to see those couples together again, like who does the same.
James!! Thomas!!! Helpppppp. I’m currently planning to go from a 19’ prestige s4 (USA spec) to either a 2022 macan s or 2022 sq5. If you had to pick between the two which would you go with?
Online a fully loaded sq5 prestige trim is $73usd and similar equipped macan s $83k usd (options selected to resemble sq5 prestige trim. Minus HUD and ambient lightening as those are not options)…which would you choose if you were going best “bang” for your buck(overall this makes more sense)?? Which would you choose for best performance?
It’s a big price difference and taxes and fees still have to be added. Also you guys are awesome!!!
I think Throttle House needs to do a review of a current (2023-2024) Macan GTS. It will completely change their perspective on this little hot hatch from Porsche. Its a riot!
Great review, and prophetic in some ways since Porsche have gotten rid of the Macan Turbo.
ive actually never really been this early on throttle house
good for you congratulations
@@imnotsharingmyrealnameonth5601 idk if ur bieng sarcastic, but thank you anyway bih
@@gurvaaz1703 lol just saying man, congrats
Wow, so interesting.
Lil Home Invasion love this exchange
We had two sons, aged about 6 and 4 when the Cayenne came out, and I thought, why in the world would someone want to buy a Porsche SUV?! Then the idea started to grow on me. We’ve owned 4-5 SUVs now, but never a Porsche. As I’ve gotten older and the kids are mostly independent, I’m more drawn to the Macan, just as a practical but still fun daily driver. Now I’d rather have the Macan than the larger Cayenne. I’ll still never buy either one, but it’s funny how tastes change as we get older.
I guess the same applies to me, I used to be obsessed with sportbikes and Porsches. But ever since I have a son, I now prefer having a 4 seater and naked bikes (Yamaha and Triumph.)
Buy it papa! Treat yourself real good!🤣🤣
I felt the same - until I test drove a Turbo, and wrote a check on the spot. Its a great car and I love driving it.
Just bought a Macan S D. Picking it up Saturday :)
Ahhh yes, James TheStradman
Entertaining video as usual! Gee that panel gap on the front fender is just atrocious.
Y’alls acting skills are getting good!!!!
Turbocharge everything!
No, just "turbo" everything
And that gentlemen is why we got the GTS with air suspension. Perfect balance.
How is the reliability, and how long have you had it?
Kings of Intros!! [ 𝙏𝙪𝙧𝙗𝙤 ]
great video, also, i agree that this incredible car from porsche does not deserve the turbo badge, i would also go for the S, nonetheless still a great car
A fast little porsche suv for the diminutive set. Nice!
