- Winter is coming. Or...it was supposed to.
As a result, the Mustang convertible gets put in storage. It's a Mustang, add snow, it's not as fun (especially with the soft top). This gave me a chance to get a vehicle for one of the most coveted brands in my life and see if the hype was worth it..long story, it was.
I wanted to use this as a space to show what owning a Porsche Macan was like and some of the little interesting pros and cons of owning one. Any questions feel free to ask!
Good video. Lived in Germany for over 10 years, I can answer the issue about remote start. It is not offered on these German made vehicles due to the laws in Germany. It is illegal to start and or have a vehicle idle with no driver.
Thanks for this video. Very enjoyable. I picked up my brand-new Macan S just a month ago and I am mind blown by it! You've absolutely nailed it with your comments on the PDK transmission. I just can't see how this car would be as awesome without it. Beyond that, it really is unlike any other SUV I test drove or have driven, and I really do think it's worthy of the badge :)
Nice purchase.
Great vehicle
Since you had the Macan S, have you ran into any issues/maintenance you had to do? If so was the bill costly?
Time for a Cobb tune now
Great video! Looking for the same here in 2024. This is essentially the exact one I'm looking for.. how many miles? Well priced? Any issues you've noticed?
67k miles at $27k. No issues other than a small Check Engine Light that was a very quick/small issue, not even noticeable.
I am looking for a 2019+ I think that was the refresh model?
That's correct
beautiful car, congrats ... the soundtrack was awful imo
How much are oil changes and tire rotations??
Oil changes at the dealership are around $200-$300. However independent Euro shops are closer to $100-$150 for me. You can do it yourself pretty easily. Tire rotations can be done just about anywhere. Average cost for me for other vehicles has been $20-$50
Oil changes range from $80-$150 at independent shops in my area. Also please be aware that Macan rear tires are Wider than the front (for better stability). Therefore, you can rotate tires left-to-right, but Not front-to-back. This can lead to Macan tires wearing slightly faster than other vehicle tires that are rotated front to back. . . especially if you drive "aggressively" . 😁
There is no way you could ever regret owning a 911.
Picked up a 2015 S with 75k miles about 2 months ago. The PDK just went and the replacement is $15,000! 3rd party warranty will only pay $5000.
15k is insane dude. Also how’d you manage to break the pdk?
Also only 75k miles and the pdk already giving issues? Man with 15k I might as well just buy a new car.
Omg that's too new for that serious of a problem. I guess reliability has carried on from Q5, which I owned. Absolute most unreliable car ever
Was regular maintenance done? Did the previous owner give you maintenance records?
@@RubberChickenMan007 Yup! I have meticulous dealer service records from the previous owner. Thats one reason I bought the car. I also had the PDK serviced 1500 miles prior to it letting go.
Don’t panic when your vacuum lines leak. It’s the cost
First time viewer, so I'm not certain about your typical content. I will say, clean your car before you shoot it? The seat adjustments... just gross man.
Advise, I have a Macan S 2020, and I bought a $150 adapter that plugs into the USB port and gives my car android auto. Reliable, simplistic & wireless. I'd check it out.
Sorry but that beautiful car doesn’t go in that 💩💩town and weather. Perhaps a 4runner or a Subaru…
Thankfully you bought a proper Porsche and not the 4 cy. base Macan! Bravo!
How bad is the 4 cylinder base?
@@micjakes1you won’t notice the lack of power until it struggles to accelerate on the highway
I, for one, understand the statement of a "porsche product", so I purchased the macan s because the base model has a vw engine. The Macan S was built by porsche.
Audi Q5 with a body kit, sorry...
As an owner of a 2018 S as well as a 2022 Q5 I can tell you they may share a platform and some parts but they are far different than “a body kit”.
