    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.

      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)

    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'.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      @John.Christopher 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm hoping for a GT4 RS Cayman. But yeah you could literally buy a 991 GT3RS for this kind of money or a nicely equipped 992 Carerra S

      I don't think it works like that buddy. Nobody has 150k sitting around and just decides to buy a Porsche. They decide on a car that suits their budget and then find one that fits their life. Not everyone has several cars and so they would need something practical. Do you think you could just ride around a GT3 RS if you have a wife and a couple of teenage children?

      John McLane What does it mean to “literally” buy a 991? As opposed to figuratively buying one?

  • @szneka12
    @szneka12 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I wanted a small, fast SUV and here's why I chose Macan over X4M, RSQ3, GLC63 and Stelvio:
    1: High sitting position is a massive pro for visibility, safety and driving comfort
    2: Porsche interior build quality. It matters - you spend 100% of the time driving INSIDE THE CAR:-)
    3: Smaller size = easier to drive in old European cities (stelvio, gle, x6m are way too big for me)
    4: Fast enough and PDK is easily the best gearbox
    5: GLC63 was stiff as hell, not comfy at all. Terrible for longer road trips.
    6: RSQ3 and GLC all have boy-racer interiors only, while Porsche you can also have nice wood/brown leather
    7: X4M looks a bit strange and X3 design is obsolete in my opinion (of course taste is debatable)
    8: Road presence of a Porsche is very nice and pleasant
    9: This car just makes sense. If you want a fast, compact SUV that doesn't look weird and isn't all "need for speed" and you want to sit a little higher - it's the perfect car for you. I recommend it a LOT. It's easy to fall in love in the Macan:-)
    P.S. Your back doesn't hurt at all after a 1000km trip in a Macan. The seats are super comfy.

      High seating position is antithetical to a good driving experience.

      Agree totally, on our second macan now. Wouldn’t want any other crossover

  • @morganvon5664
    @morganvon5664 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You guys nailed the problem with this segment. The ride is compromised for the sake of handling. But the handling is nothing like a real sports car. I guess it's how you look at it. It's either the worst of all worlds or a swiss army knife that can do many things. Plus, this particular vehicle has precious little cargo space and you need a different set of wheels and tires for the winter.

    • @johnhamill8687
      @johnhamill8687 ปีที่แล้ว

      Try riding in an X3 M or X5 M. The Porsche even in sport plus rides worlds better than either BMW. I have a Macan Turbo and its handling is excellent. Its not a 911 or anything like my M3's or M5's but still excellent.

    • @Rumblingbelly
      @Rumblingbelly 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Most people dont have endless money and need just 1 car so a compromise is a must. Do you guys know if this turbo 2020-2021 is very different from 2022-2023 GTS?

  • @peterdobbie1310
    @peterdobbie1310 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @7:20 guys, you seem to be criticising the car for being exactly what it is... anyone who buys this vehicle will be buying it for what it IS, not what it’s not ? All those proper buttons are a great thing - once you get used to the car how many times per drive do you have to push ALL the buttons ? Erm, never. I want a Porsche with utility, but not something huge, and certainly not the Panamera - which should be fired into the sun. I’ve had a Cayman, and it was bit like riding my ZZR1400: you have to take a beat to tell the vehicle “I’m in charge, you’re not”, before you turn the key. Really like your channel BTW, along with Mat Watson - you’re so much better than all that Top Gear crap.
