It's mostly been maintenance but the biggest repair that I've done was a coolant line that runs front to the firewall burst, Coolant reservoir lost hold at the seam and needed to be replaced, and 2 other coolant lines that brach from the aforementioned reservoir got brittle and broke off when replacing the reservoir. Nothing so far has broke that I couldn't fix in a garage with a buddy in a couple of hours.

Love my 2015 Macan Turbo, triple black, exterior is Jet Black Metallic, pretty much all options, paid $50K in 2019 with 10,000 miles, lowered, GIAC tune, GMG exhaust, Flat Six Airbox, just reupped another 50K 5 year full warranty, paid for, I’ll add Apple car play soon, I live in So Cal, so car can last a very long time…
These last-gen reviews are fun. Since these will always be used cars, it’d be nice to see a section in the videos where you cover real owner reviews and long term cost of ownership. I think consumer reports collects that data for most cars.
@@Embrxceyourdemons had to take it in to Porsche for the infamous oil leak that the early Gen’s suffered from a few months back. It’s an “engine out” process which costs around $12k. Luckily I had the CarMax warranty, so it only costed me $750 out of pocket. Otherwise, thats the only issue I had so far.
@@markdafunky1 good to know car max warranty is legit. It just sucks they don’t negotiate on pricing but will dryads then to the list. Fun fact if it happens again supposedly it’s fixed via two bolts being changed. Can do it in a parking lot no life require d
The previous owner gave this car up for a reason .. Eventually the new owner will find out what the problem was but unlike the seller the buyer and new owner is left holding a 5k , 10k. Even 20k repair bill.. It's always best to never buy a sport or luxury car unless you have the money to burn to fix it when it breaks .. Most of these very expensive used BMWs and Mercedes out there are super affordable only bc the needed repairs and cost of those repairs are higher then what you paid for the car.
Wow, expert advice there. People give up cars for a multitude of reasons; age, mileage, downsizing, marriage, divorce, lease-end, moving, having kids, inheritance, new opportunity, new job. High maintenance costs come from the Labor Rate charged by the repair facility. Porsche dealers, depending on location, can charge over $500/hr, where Honda will charge $150/hr. So a 4 hour brake job will cost $1400 more at Porsche, but changing the brakes on both cars is an almost identical procedure. Yes, the parts are more expensive on the Porsche, but that stopping power is worth every penny. BTW, I’m trading in my Honda Accord because it needs tires and it’s the most boring car I’ve ever owned.
Why do you think that? Living in a neighborhood where everyone had luxury cars, I never once saw a person give up a high end car because of issues. Purely it's just because a new one came out. You make up these weird narratives. Just ask people dude. Make friends. You'd know this. Example, tons of my neighbors have fully furnished rooms that are NEVER used. They're basically decorative. So you can find used furniture basically unused, as they redesign the room from time to time.
Like most cars, they will depreciate, but especially luxury cars, they will depreciate a lot, so you can get one of these used for a pretty good bargain, and some will have more options than others, but if you want a nice luxury car, then why not buy it used? Although with German cars, there's always the maintenance issue, so warranty is preferred.
This Macan still looks fresh for being a 6 year old car same with the interior ❤️❤️👏👏 although being a used German car it’ll be kinda expensive to maintain and PLEASE GET A WARRANTY. It’ll be a bad idea to not do that for any car let alone a German car. Also I thought that same thing regarding all those buttons. Yes, there is a lot of buttons down by the shifter, but honestly, I love physical buttons, so I can get used to that, and the fact that it has physical buttons and less screens is a good thing. I don't like massive screens in cars, like what you see these days, I want physical buttons that'll help me do what I need on a basic infotainment screen like this one. Also that 3.6L twin turbo V6 with Porsche's 7-speed PDK dual clutch transmission is phenomenal. You can't expect less from a Porsche PDK transmission, that thing shifts lightning quick.
well I bet it sound/sounds/sounded like a whole lot a fun to drive eh? btw Matt can't wait to watch the weekly update video on Friday hopefully it will have/be having news/updates about any new cool cars/car news to talk about 👍👍🤟🤟also btw getting close to 450,000 subscribers on your channel and 55,000 subscribers away from 500,000 subscribers which is🤯🤯 to think about already time sure does fly by quick doesn't it good luck getting there Matt 👍👍🤞🤞🤟🤟
@@j.dmalone6544 well I'll let you know after I get one this weekend. It's a 2017 Macan Turbo with performance package. I'm a little nervous about the transmission and other things that can break, but I'm giving it a go. I've been a Lexus guy all my life.
How does it compare to Lincoln MKX ecoboost? I’m 6’-4”, weigh 225 lbs, you’d think American cars and German cars would have the common understanding that our people are tall
Not a well optioned Macan. Air suspension is an absolute must for a Turbo in my opinion. Had an S without it before, then a Turbo with. Very noticeable difference
It was actually the Cayenne that saved Porsche back in the day. When the Cayenne came out in 2002, it literally saved Porsche in terms of sales, so Porsche wouldn't have been what it is today without that vehicle.
Sweet, the only Macon sweeter than that on Matt was the pics of the silver one you featured, If I bought that one, first thing I'd do is change those out-dated wheels!
I have one and its not as reliable as a porsche sorry to break it to you ...a lot of them have been recalled and thats not cool at all ... the car stalls and cuts off sometimes wont crank ...currently waiting on a backorder part smh so porsche is def better...I have a porsche too
@@RubberChickenMan007they think because it's on the same platform, the cars are the same. Which means, because Bentley shares the same platforms, you're actually driving a Bentley! You can see how stupid now claiming platform =same car. Porsche tunes their cars different. Same with lambo, same with audi. This is why the cayenne, lambo, rsq8 and Bentley can all share the same platform and drive different. Each house is different. Also Porsche is it's own publicly traded stock right now. So they have incentive to outsell their in house brands as vw no longer owns Porsche fully..
Mainly because drivers who lease them, abuse them to no end... at least I assume these guys are leasers, in Ottawa anyway. CLA250's, lower end 3-series spinning tires and triple-downshifting e. ver. y. where.

15' Turbo still holding strong 131k miles. Youll never find two exactly alike. It can also hold a 65in TV in the box.
What has been the biggest repair you've had to get done? How many times have you had it walnut-blasted to clean the intake valves?

70k is nothing for a turbo when taken care of

The heated wheel button is funny. No marker telling location or light.
Buying this without a warranty would be the stupidest thing a person could do.
You bet. Very tempting, but in the end if driven as a daily it would absolutely destroy one's wallet.
If you buy a car older than 5 years old good luck having warranty.
@@watsonanthony8438 buying from carmax is probably best bet for getting a solid warranty.
If you're that broke you don't need to be looking at owning a Porsche. 😂😂
Take low mileage and it is pretty decent as reliability for its class. I think 4-5k a year in maintenance cost on average is not that high.
I have a 2015 Macan S (bought on 3/21 w/ 59k miles) and it’s an awesome vehicle, so I can just imagine the Turbo being even more fun 🙌
Update on reliability and costs?

HUH what was done on your service?
@@ValkenDnB --Aired up the tires at a dealer.

Really liked the view angles you used. Nice !
been on the fence for one of these or a new one, very tempting indeed.
Only reason id consider leasing is to avoid the maintenance.
Agree, I’m in my fifties, and already know if I make it to my 70’s one of my great regrets in life is. Or being able to afford a new Porsche.

Buy a certified factory wananty
Same reason I never bought a Mini, not that reliable and then you're paying BMW repair costs.

I like the uniqueness of the Stelvio but I'm gonna have to go Macan cuz Alfa Romeo is owned by Fiat/ Chrysler.

What is the reliability for a 150k km car?
Been trying to get my spouse to get used Macan! 35k is on the lowest end for that. Hard to find an s for that
A lot of vehicle for the money.
God I would love that I considered one a couple years ago I believe it was the GTS it was 45,000
edit is nice too !
That's a lot of car for the money. I wonder how the tuning market is on these things. 12s for an SUV still blows my mind.
I think aftermarket support is pretty decent!
Nice, but the Turbo Performance Package (basically a Turbo S) would be the one to get. 👍🏾
Or just get a Cobb tune along with lowering the car slightly (easy for those who have air suspension)
Looks like a cool Dad mobile, I picked up a black Infiniti FX50S with 135k for $12k to use as mine.
Massive thumbs up to you Sir, from someone who's only been driving VQs since '06. That 5.0 is considered exotic in the Nissan stable.
Was the Macan the car that saved Porsche back in the day? That is absolutely on the other end of "not enough buttons".
It was actually the Cayenne that saved Porsche back in the day. When the Cayenne came out in 2002, it literally saved Porsche in terms of sales, so Porsche wouldn't have been what it is today without that vehicle.
