I recently bought a 2018 Macan s with 20,000miles. I freaking love it. Rented a 2023 X5 earlier this summer on vacation and I would take my Porsche over it in a heartbeat. It’s pretty weird taking corners at really high speeds in an suv. If you’re a pro driver you might notice it’s not a sports car but I sure as heck can’t tell the difference.
Just bought a Porsche-certified, fully loaded 2018 Macan S and this review was awesome! And I loved seeing you fly around the public streets! Wish the driving part was longer just because it was fun to watch:) Thanks for the review. It was really helpful.
Congrats! I’m looking to get the same one can’t wait!
How is your car so far?
Great video. You cemented me into purchasing one today, a 2018 Macan S. I'm excited.
hey just wanted to say thank you for this vid! much appreciated the time you took to review this
Great job on the review
Brilliant & professional review,you really know your cars, 10/10
good content man, keep pushing congrats

Dude is just flying around public streets. I love it.
I just bought a certified 2018 with th Sport Edition Package w/ the 21inch wheels. The best value for the money for sure! I'm super happy. I already know my next car will be the Macan GTS with the bigger ponies! Nice video, thanks!
Great review Nate!
Great video. I love the older exterior styling MUCH better that the newer.
Thanks for your time
Great video! Thanks for the info. Just bought the Macan S and love almost everything about it. The only thing is the infotainment aspect, which is way behind other manufacturers. Ford and GM are much more advanced and I expected better from a luxury brand. The ride and aesthetics are topnotch, though.
a True PORSCHE Engine!, thanks! brilliant video!.
Really attractive vehicle.
Love your video man! Do you think there will be enough sleeping space in the back, if I was to use it for camping?
Thanks! Yes you can sleep in the car if the back seats are folded down. Head room is a little low though
@@carswithnate Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by head room? I’m 5ft 6 - do you think I could sleep completely straight without curling up?
Yes you can I’m 5’10 and I was able to just barely do it
You can use a hair dryer to warm up the eyeglass frame where it will wrap around the back of your ear. That way you can adjust the frame to wrap around your ear more so you won't have to constantly push your glasses up.
10:28...On this Grey exterior, the tail light looks perfect. The new tail light wouldn't be good on this one. But the Black and White exterior would be better looking with the new across tail light. Just saw the 2019 review and loved it. :-)
How is the headroom for taller people?
My 2006 boxster s, won't be usable,cruising, for , with my 1st, 1 year old granddaughter . Next car Macan!! Aloha from Hawaii! Thanks for sharing, info.!
Very nice video! Good job! I am considering getting a Macan S CPO with 34k miles on it. I am wondering if there are any issues with the vehicle. I heard the transfer case may have some issue after 50k miles.Is it a common issue?
I’m almost at 60k miles and no issues whatsoever. A lot of problems with cars get over exaggerated on forums
@@carswithnate That's true. Thanks for the info!
Will you do a review on the SQ5 sport back ?
I have a 2021 q3 video coming next. I will try for a sq5 in the future though !
I own 2015 Macan Turbo. Best real every day Porsche for a family. Sport Plus button turns it into tiger when your soul needs to let the steam out... 2015 Turbo is the BEST Macan for sure.
Nice I’m sure the Macan Turbo is very fun to drive
I am looking into getting a Macan s from any year 2018 or older. Just curious how is reliability on the engine?
@@computerman9971 They aren't.
@@pankajjoshi2032 Just curious what is the problems besides the oil leaks.
Nice review, Nate! I watched from start to finish. Well done. Looking forward to more content from you! I'll follow you in Instagram too.
From one car reviewer to another. :)
Thank you! I’ll make sure to check out your videos as well
@@carswithnate, Thanks man! I appreciate it!
S with red callipers would sell a lot more in Eu as an option - that puts them out of dealer warranty in Europe - save those for GTS and Turbo models only
The calipers on this car are orange though not red
@@carswithnate so not a standard colour
Agreed quads are a better look
I found a used 2017 and 2018 Porsche macan S less than $50k and both have less than 50k miles surprisingly lol. The 2017 is 1 owner whilst the 2018 is 2 owner. Both have good history no bumps/scratch/dents on both. I would really love to buy one by Xmas and I’m just hoping if this’ll last me on the long term basis. Would you say this is reliable? Better than any bmw or Mercedes’ or Audi? I just would like to drive some diff than what’s on the road and not a brand any of my family owns.
Porsches in general are very reliable, more so than BMW, Mercedes’, Audi. I have a 2018S with over 50k miles now and I haven’t had a single issue other than general maintenance. I’d say go for it!
@@carswithnate not as equally as reliable as Toyota/Lexus/Mazda products right? basically better or equal as any other japanese manufacturer?
@@DonnieDVILL according to rankings Porsche is right on par with Lexus in terms of reliability. It’s just more expensive to maintain a Porsche though
@@carswithnate ight thx for the reviews man!! i really appreciate ur knowledge and this vid!! now i’m just in a tough situation even though i got like half a year or longer to thing about this ahah!! cuz there’s no going back. i’m just in par debating either MACAN or STELVIO!!😭😭
@@carswithnate boy you here mixed reviews. I had a 2018 Q5 and should not have sold it. 57k miles and no issues. Only changed the tires.
It is funny to me how he says they don't really depreciate when I find them 3 yrs later for half the price 😂
It was more so they don’t depreciate much after buying used. 🤣 also keep in mind they did two facelifts for the macan since this model.
@@carswithnate But they cost $9K a year to keep running right. These things are shit.
What is the exterior color name. It’s very nice !
Agate grey
I'm gonna get a 2016 gently used Macan S !!
Nice man congrats it’s a great car
You cant go wong with it! 😂
Did you get the Macan and if so how is it working for you?
Hey man I am looking at a new car at a young age and have always wanted a Porsche. I think I have made a decision. Just curious how is reliability?
Mine has 50k miles on it and no major issues besides one oil leak which is well known issue on the Macan it was about 2k to fix
@@carswithnate yeah that's not bad at all. I am a high school student with around 45k to spend and I have always wanted a porsche so I am looking at these
@@computerman9971hmm a high school student having $45K laying around🤔
@@paulstephens9274 I’ve been working since I was 14 with multiple investments.
So they still hold their value even with oil leak problems?
This car in the video has 45k miles and no oil leak problems
@@carswithnate That's good. I've been doing research and they are notorious for oil leak, it's because of the poorly design Audi that they were duplicated from.
@@kawikadee9670 definitely sounds like something to be aware of. All I know is that the Macan’s were holding value very well even before Covid
@@carswithnate How about now? I have been looking heavily for a Base Macan or Cayenne. Base is OK with me, but I will try an S for a good price. I don't want to have to deal with oil problems tho.
@@ToOpen6seven sounds like you should get a Lexus NX
Hi, didn’t you see the big ‘max’ on your spare tire? What language is it? So you intentionally ignore it so that u can tell a story…
UCSD?
对
@@carswithnate I love how you responded in Chinese haha
what are the main issues with these vehicles?
The only issue is oil leaks
@@carswithnate hello! In every model, or just specific models, for example diesel ones?
@@skrd77 he reviews the cars he’s not a mechanic do some damn research
@@DD-hj3sj I have do that but is not clear. Maybe not a mechanic, but neither cameramen for sure!
Transfer case and timing cover, oil leaks.
2022 models soon.
BRO driving like a cloud, does this model even have the air suspension in the video ?!
Nope, the Macan just rides that good
wow thanks Nate, how does this compare tot he alfa stelvio ? @@carswithnate
How the fuck is there so much wind on your shirt and zero in the microphone
Lavalier microphone
@@carswithnate sorcery you say
That's a pretty lame excuse for the key on the left.
“This thing is sticking right now” on a long straight road….😂
You must not know where that road is nor do you ever drive on a real race track. But nice try and being funny
@@carswithnate not being funny - thanks for the nonsense and incorrect assumptions…
I feel like Porsche would be really cool to have in the 90’s maybe early 2000’s but with all these new features of today cars it makes this Porsche look pretty mundane. You’ll pretty much buy this car for the name and/or speed
The main reason to buy Porsche is for the interior quality and the way it drives
Sounds like you buy cars for the Apple play and maps, clown
Porsche doesn't stand behind the quality of their vehicles. Transfer case on my 2015 Macan S has failed twice now in only 27,000 miles. This is a known issue which caused Porsche to extend their warranty to 7 ys. Their "improved" transfer case lasted only 2 years 2 months and 9,000 miles. I am out of warranty by 6 weeks and Porsche turns their back on problem and sticks me for $3,200 repair. Don't buy a Porsche w/o extended warranty for entire length of time you expect to own it. #1 rated warranty company - Endurance - won't even sell coverage on Macan. That should tell Porsche and all potential buyers something. Customer experience is far from an expected premium car brand experience.
Interesting from what I've heard Porsche is the only German brand thats reliable
@@DiaperSNiFFER I guess they have gone down the same rabbit hole as the other German brands.
And the timing cover bolts which are made from aluminum and break which then cause oil leaks. I had PPI’s done on two Macan’s, both had oil leaks, i then decided to go with a used 997.2. I cannot stress a Pre Purchase Inspection (PPI), or a big warranty.
@@randyp6370thanks Randy, I heard the same. Seems like a major manufacturer defect.
Lil bro you got the wrong impression or info on so many things it was hard to watch this video so I skipped a lot of parts. The Macan doesn't compete with the Cayenne, that's a level up in class and size so there's no point comparing them
I owned this car for many years so I think I know what impressions to have. The cayenne and Macan are both Porsche SUV’s. Most people can’t even tell them apart unless they know the Brand well. The cayenne is mostly for more space and a v8 if you buy the higher end trims. The point is that the Macan gives the same feel and experience as the cayenne for a lower price point. So unless you want more space and the v8, you should just get the Macan for daily driving.
You spent 15% test driving? 85% on talking about the car….it should be the other way around….for now i won’t subscribe…
I had one. Biggest piece of shit I ever owned. First and last Porsche I will ever buy.
🤣
Why?
Porsche is a two syllable name not one! That's POR-SHUH! Would you like your name pronounced as Not?! Americans are irritating!
Nate is a one syllable name lol. My name is pronounced like “Nayt”
@@carswithnate Porsche is not pronounced like a horse!
Yep!............." POR-SHITT!
I heard it's a p.o.s. Wanted one but the reviews are garbage... just an overpriced VW.
But it’s Porsches best selling vehicle
Sounds like you can’t afford it anyways,, try going for the vw
