This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2021 Porsche macaw GTS and the Porsche Drive subscription service.The Macan GTS comes with a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 engine with a 7-speed PDK transmission, 375 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. It goes 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds
and it has a top speed of 261 km/h. It has 17 horsepower more than the previous model.The base model Porsche Macan comes with a 2L 4 cylinder turbo engine with a 7-speed PDK transmission, 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The Porsche Macan SUV has a distinctive design with LED headlights with 4-point daytime running lights and 4-point brake lights. The new rear design has a standard LED taillight strip which; emphasizes the Porsche logo. The Macan’s broad shoulders over the rear wheels have some characteristics of a 911. The Matte black slide blades offer a nice contrast and are also available as an option in carbon fibre, silver and high gloss black or the exterior colour. The Porsche Drive subscription program flipped us out of the Porsche 911 Targa 4 and into this Macan GTS. Porsche Drive is a monthly, subscription, based service that gives you access to a selection of Porsche vehicles. Experience the thrill of driving a Porsche short or long term at your convenience. Download the app and take your dream car for a drive. Porsche Drive is available in Vancouver, Toronto and soon to be in Montreal. It’s also available in some US cities, check it out!

By far and away... the best reviewers on you tube...
Wow, we really appreciate that, thank you!
I agree! These two work so hard and provide a ton of info. Their knowledge is great. They deserve way more subs.
I had a 2015 Macan S, I loved it, it’s like a 911 and a SUV had a baby. You really have to experience it, Porsche redefined the segment.
I did have one issue, water in passenger footwell after a rain. Went to dealerships 4x over 6 months, no resolution after complete tear down. So after 30 year love affair with the marque I was not impressed with their handling of “this” known issue. In the past with the IMS on my 911, they honored a new engine post warranty but with this issue I just felt like I was being jerked around by the dealer.
Really enjoyed watching this review! You guys killed it. Picked up a Macan GTS 2021 a week ago and absolutely love it! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. Good for you, congratulations, enjoy!
Two years ago, wife and I testdrove both Macau GTS and it’s big brother Cayenne GTS. While Macau felt much nimble and fun, it’s back seat space and boot let it down so much, made us choose Cayenne GTS. When you have multiple kids, Macan is just too small, for some reason, it is much smaller at the back than its cousin, Audi Q5 which we already have one. Good review though, fun small SUV for small family or young couple.
Thank you for having the decency to call it a Porsche and not a Porsch. 5 out of 5 stars! 💕
Weirdly enough I've always liked the GTS variants of any Porsche over the Turbo model even though that's a higher spec vehicle. Power is nice but I prefer a vehicle with a manageable amount of power but quick handling. Great work as usual on the review!
Thank you very much! :)
Thanks for bringing us these great videos.I look forward to watching your new videos ever week.
Thank you so much! Really glad you are enjoying the content.
More to come!
wow..working so late..keepit up.. your hard work shows in your content..i can say probably the best in canada..appreciate all the knowledge shared..
Wow, thank you so much, that really means a lot to us. We are trying to give as much information as we can in our reviews in a short period of time. Glad you are enjoying it.
Thanks a ton
NOOO! Don't get rid of a 911 and get this if you have a 911 lol This was a good review, guys! Keep up all the hard work -- you can definitely tell how much effort is being put into these videos and I'm rooting for this channel to gain a ton of more traction; the subs that it deserves! Much love from California.
Thank you so much, that is very nice of you to say. Views and subs are way up, so we are definitely moving in the right direction. We couldn't be happier, can't wait to hit 250,000. Thanks for the support, we really appreciate it.
@@andreaspencer9813 so good to hear! don't work too hard this weekend!
@@djcoronel We won't, enjoy your weekend.
Great review of the Macan GTS! I would love to drive it ...maybe will do once the Porsche drive program expands to Ottawa
Yes absolutely or if you are on a business trip somewhere as well. Lots of options. Opens up the Porsche world to so many more people.
Motormouth likes the Volcano Grey Metallic paint.

Great review on the Macan GTS! This would be the vehicle I would like to have if I was in the market for a small high performance CUV. The residuals certainly tick the right box!
Thank you, I could also see myself in one of these.
Couldn't agree more!
@@andreaspencer9813 you have a Cayenne and I would prefer that over the Macan bc I prefer its size over the Macan. Either one is a good choice.
I believe the question was to compare the SQ5 with the Macan GTS.
Great review as always Andrea and Zack! ECU tune and that Macan should pump out 440hp(and void your warranty😆).. same motor as the Audi RS5/S6.
Amazing how different the driving experience vs its platform cousin the Q5/SQ5, some impressive engineering from Porsche.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. I agree with you, very impressive engineering, they are very different.
Very true!
As always an excellent review, but I am a bit biased on this one as I own a Macan. Your reviews helped me in my selection. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, we appreciate your kind words.
Great to hear!
Empty nester. 6 hour drive to camp in northern Ontario. Got a 2017 GTS Macan. Look FWD to the drive. Really like your channel. You guys make a great team!
Thank you very much, really glad you are enjoying the content. I can understand why you looking forward to the drive, great SUV.
Beautiful vehicle, One can dream! Great review guys thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
This is my winter car. Kicks ass, looks great.
Your reviews are great. A good team giving something others dont .
Thank you very much!
I have the Macan S and it goes 0-60 in 4.9sec (w/ Sport Chrono); I believe the GTS is 3.9seconds. Great Car, great review!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I really love the GTS.
This channel has really grown! Love the content and consistency!
Thank you so much, really glad you are enjoying it. We appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic Review! You guys are the best, you provide so much information. 👍👍👍 just so good. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much! So glad you are enjoying the content. We try to provide as much information in these videos in a short period of time.
Thanks for watching!
I have a 991.2 gt3 and a 2020 macan gts, which is just a great daily driver. Great review
Thank you, glad you like it.
Her voice is calming
I think this is perfect for a family of three or four, but going by the four options you listed I'd definitely pick the Benz.
Fair enough!
Great review more success I love you from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!!
Hi Zack & Andrea. Just to let everyone know I secured an order for the new Facelift model here in UK for October build. Only to find out yesterday Porsche are not allowing PASM or air suspension with PASM for new orders. Apparently the floods in Germany mean they have supply problems. Not sure whether this is chip or suspension component related but a real pain as will mean people won't be able to order the car with the better suspension until the supply problem is sorted out! A real problem for the GTS too which has air suspension as standard!
That sucks but worth the wait to get it
@@Motormouth... Car is now on order with air suspension with a confirmed Jan 22 build date. There’s a new supply problem though, Porsche have run out of the new GT 21 inch wheels so had to opt for the Spyder design wheels instead!
GO Andrea Go... see Zack holding on for dear life.. :-)
The reliability nose dives for me everytime I see air ride suspension. You know , not guessing that the as it bags will always leak eventually unless you trade in regularly .
They are actually very reliable. Not as bad as you would think.
@@Motormouth... They are much better now. It’s really not an issue for 10 years.
Now you get the Macan Turbo and GTS in one!
Another great review!! Thanks for all of the useful information.
Well I would never consider anything this small, but you did make go, hmmmm.... How do you that.... Great review, again
lol! Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!
Beautiful car! How’s the steering feel? Awesome review Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻
It feels wonderful! Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!
@@andreaspencer9813 awesome! 👍🏻
I just love your channel.
Thank you so much, happy to hear it!
You are so kind
Consumer Reports differentiates between “predicted reliability” and “reliability verdict”. That’s why reliability results continually change as survey results come in. So a car that may have a poor or below average predicted reliability may end up with an average or better reliability verdict. Conversely, a car may start with an average or better predicted reliability and end up with a below average or poor reliability verdict as survey results are finalized. Case in point, the 2019 Mazda reliability results have gone from above average initially to just average currently.
Good to know! Thanks Bill!
@@benoitmurray85 You’re welcome!
I used to own the Macan GTS and loved it . Probably, I will get a cayenne after . Can you guys advise the driving dynamic of the cayenne? I don't think base will do it for me so I m thinking Cayenne S Or GTS?
The driving dynamics are terrific. Every time I get into our Cayenne, it think to myself why would I get anything else. The steering is precise, the drive is dynamic, comfortable and you sit up higher. It's different from the GTS but very good. I feel the same way, I would get the S if we didn't have a diesel. The S has plenty of power, we recently drove the Coupe and in my opinion that's all you need.
Seen this one a few times in the City I live in and sure is a beauty. Would have purchased if not so $$
Subscription services like Porsche Drive is an idea who's time has come. But, like all new innovations, I'd suggest letting the rich be the early adopters because none of these services are cheap. Once all the kinks are worked out and more accessible companies like GM and Honda jump into this, only then do I believe it will truly start making financial sense. At which point, I'll be very interested. The future of car buying will not only be electric, but also who will offer the best subscription!
Who doesn't love the legacy of Porsche and I have owned a 911 Turbo and it was my dream car and really enjoyed it. Here comes the but, but why would you buy a Macan and not Model Y Performance? It truly feels good driving an EV and especially one that is so good at everything the Y. I know the Macan EV is coming I think in 2023.
Yes, it is coming as a 2023, maybe as early as next year.
@@andreaspencer9813 Great.
How many do they plan to produce in 2022 and 2023?
@@starshipcaptain4753 I couldn't tell you, we will have to wait and see.
Did he forget a kid there for a second?
Yes, new kid
Congratulations! Happy to hear that!
Great review, you guys kill it every time! If you can get your hands on a Bently Bentayga for a review that would be awesome! Looking to get either the Cayenne Turbo or the Bentayga.
Thank you so much!
Great review once again ! The news of this model being replaced so soon came a bit late downunder however as all the current allocations are gone !
That's a nicely built Macan GTS ;)
Hi Zack and Andrea - superb video! Is the GTS with air suspension as comfortable as the S with just PASM?
It can be on the softer setting.
Thank you really glad you enjoyed the review. I like the S as well, but the GTS is just more fun to drive. In comfort mode the GST has a very comfortable drive in my opinion.
Does the turbo not have the air suspension?
The ride is great, but u 2 reviewing cars are the real stars.
Awe, thank you so much, we appreciate the support!
Hey Andrea, I need to put it in GTS for Got to Subscribe. Ok done. Keep the great content coming.
Awesome, thank you so much!
I love that you do the other cars to consider.
You can’t really compare the stelvio Quadrofoglio to these models. The Quadrifoglio is comparable to the Macan turbo, x4M and GLC63. The regular stelvio Ti Sport is more comparable to these. 0-6 5.4 seconds. Unfortunately Alpha Romeo doesn’t have an in between model, so it’s tough to correctly compare them
I love the smile on Andrea's face as she accelerates. Looks like a little kid driving a Go-kart 🙂
Thanks! I certainly do have a ton of fun, love it.
They're really not that quick, don't let her false enthusiasm fool you. They're nothing special.
@@JordonPatrickMears11211988 I think it's very special. Have you had a chance to drive one?
@@andreaspencer9813 I drive em on the regular, all models, all trims, really not that special. I work at a euro service shop. And I can't say I've driven a porsche, mercedes, or bmw that really makes me want one. They're only nice if you can afford to keep them nice and that's way too much effort with these vehicles. I'll stick with my 2013 jk sport. 160k miles and not a single check engine light, just a tiny exhaust leak, that I haven't bothered to trace out yet. I've driven plenty of other suvs from just about every other manufacturer, and I just don't see any reason anyone would get a porsche other than to prove they have more money(when most really dont and can't afford the repairs). The only place I could see them being okay is in Europe where they likely cost much less and repairs are probably cheaper as well. Here in the states it's just a flat out waste of money.
Can you explain the different Chassis options on Macan GTS and their impact on quality of drive? (I am having difficulty noticing the difference)
Should I buy the 2021 Porsche Macan GTS or wait for the 2022?? Not many 21s left in stock. I read that the 2022 will have more horses and probably a bigger price tag.
Do you think the Maccan GTS IS better than Stelvio Quadrofoglio ?
You guys rock!!! What a video 🤩☺️🥰 what a car 🤑🏎💨💨💨
Thank you so much!
Do most people lease these cars? Seems like a lot of people in the comments section say they used to have one. No one seems to keep theirs for the long run.
We have owned most of ours, leased a few. We kept our first Cayenne for quite sometime and our current one we will probably keep even longer just because it is a diesel. As for the 911's we've owned, they really hold their value. We had a buyer and just couldn't resist the offer he made.
beautiful car at 1/10th better performance than the Q5. We prefer our SQ5 for all the obvious reasons and it rode slightly better because of the tire wheel set up.
Macan GTS sounds gorgeous. In all modes i promise
Nice car!
But I think the HP is around 430hp not 375hp like mentioned.
Great car!
Zack looks very tense :)
I love your channel, please keep making more videos
That's the plan!
Thank you so much! We will!
Awesome car….it’s a Porsche why wouldn’t it be right!? I am a watch guy as well so gotta ask what watch you’re wearing in the video? Nice blue face and looks like a Tudor or Rolex?
Good eye, vintage Tudor blue Snowflake
@@Motormouth... just bought one myself and love it!
Wow...Sweet car, with a big sunroof!!!!
Sure is!
@@Motormouth... something we love... Zach struggles to like....
@@ilord112 YES, i LOVE a good sunroof. It's the best. :)
Almost everything from Kia on up, now has an standard/optional sunroof.
Hehe, I think people love sunroof are kind romantic...
I own a Porsche Macan GTS and it absolutely rips. It can do 0-60 in 3.9 flat dude I have tried it Porsche under stated their numbers 12.7 1/4 mile No joke. I am telling you it can do all that and some light off roading too. Its a do it all kind of CUV. If you need more room than the Cayenne is a better fit but I have 3 kids and we still fit fine in there. When we have more people to haul we use our LX470 for that but make no mistake this is a beautifully fast Porsche.
Fantastic review ! Would love to get your opinion on the Macan S vs Range Rover Velar. I am keen to get one of the two as my daily driver out here in Dubai..
Bro get the Macan S more reliable and more fun to drive
I'd take Andrea over the macan any day of the week
I looked at Macan but ultimately ordered a Mercedes GLC 43 which I love.
I couldn’t justify an SUV that is smaller than the MB with less cargo room than my Golf R and even in the case of the Macan GTS, has less power for a lot more $$$
The Porsche option pricing is insane, far worse than MB.
The Cayenne is the sweet spot in their SUV line but for me, too big, too $$$
Would you recommend the macan or the jaguar f-pace
Very nice video, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Andrea, been a subcriber for years now, but i think those legs of yours in the youtube thumbnail is just unfair, i had to click (almost a clickbait, but its not) 😂😅🤣
This car makes me want to get my life together
It’s a turbo only with less power. Why not get a turbo then?
1:24 Doesn't this sound like the intro lady from NFS: Hot Pursuit?
Do you prefer the Macan GTS or Cayenne GTS?
Both are great but if you need more space go with the Cayenne GTS.
I will help you get more comments in your videos. YOU NEED CONTROVERSY. so pick a feature in the car and get into a debate about, then ask your views to settle the debate with their comments.
Wonderful review
My younger son's initials are GTS 😁
Cool!
I'm waiting to be approved I hope they approve me. I'm just excited to be able to afford it.
How are you guys be able two owns three porsches?
What a world we live in
We've been fortunate, we definitely work a lot.
@@andreaspencer9813 congrats good on you 😀... hard work definitely pays off. I am hopeful one day to own my dream car which is a Audi RSQ8 🙂
@@sleepyjoescumbag1663 Thank you! Beautiful vehicle, I hope you are able to buy it one day. :)
Does the Macan have the Porsche motor or the VW motor? Keep in mind there is not always what it seems
Audi developed the V6
100K+ car and you're worried about repair costs? Maybe skip this.

Talk about the "Porsche Drive" program, not the car. There are plenty of videos about Porsche cars.
Better buy an extended warranty on any Porsche you buy...IF you can find a car warranrty co to sell you one. #1 rated extended car warranty will not cover Macans
Sehr schön 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Toronto roads don’t deserve Porsche cars… too much potholes 🤣🤣
Vancouver is pretty amazing!
I think I would go for a regular Macan. Why overspend on something that's not really a sports car.
Is the regular Macan responsive and conected to the road despite the lack of power?
not 18 inch wheel wheels but it is 20 inch.
The reliability is fine while it's under warranty. Jd power measures reliability while under warranty, so it's pretty useless stat. Let's hear about reliability in years 6-8 with 80k miles on the clock.
They used to do it for 5 years but stopped because at that point it is about the owner's maintenance of the car or lack of...
The front end looks like the Mini Cooper, with that sloped bug-eye look. Hate that look.
Are you telling me that some people will trade their 911 for a kid (and a Macan)??? What a shame! lol!
LOVE YOU MADAME AND SIR
EXCELLENT
Wifey looking smoking HOT
Goodness, the price is too high for these EU utility vehicles. It may or may not even compare to the CR-V or Rave 4 in terms of performance, and reliabilities.
Someone buy me a Porsche
You don't really want one. As a porsche tech, you really don't want one.
@@JordonPatrickMears11211988 even the newest models?!
@@hisride any German or European high end car... bmw, mercedes, range rover, porsche, etc... sure, they're fancy, nice, got all those cool features but by the time you hit 75-100k shit will start breaking and at 150/hr+ for labor alone(that's cheap in Houston compared to dealers) repairs will kill you... and shit will break for the stupidest of reasons... like the biodegradable wire sheathing. If you can afford one of these vehicles and don't live in that country(Germany, etc), then buy a similar type vehicle from a American or Japanese manufacturer, pocket the savings, and you'll be able to afford damn near any repair that vehicles might need in its avg 300k lifespan.
@@JordonPatrickMears11211988 what a shame. All the needless crap that comes in cars today is just a money pit. Back when it was just you and the car know what I’m saying
@@hisride I do know, because I drive an absolute base model 2 Dr jk... manual windows, locks, transmission, rack and pinion steering. The fancy euro cars are just money pits for people with too much money and status symbols for those who don't have money. I mean on the low end an oil change is gonna cost you 150 at a good service shop... thats not including engine and cabin air filters, wipers, or anything else that you'd regularly service. And he'll, some people don't even have the money for the oil change and go to a jiffy lube or somewhere, where some dumbass 18 yr old never touched a wrench in his life will dump the trans fluid and double fill the engine oil... literally saw it a month ago.... the jiffy lube owner got lucky with just needing a trans service and oil change to get the car back to the customer. And a bunch of these cars use the xenon headlights instead of led or halogen and that's gonna run you 300 bucks a side, if it's just a bulb, between labor and the bulb... the bulbs alone retail at 150 or so.
but my God it's called Sport SUV.
In my province max speed on the hwy is still 100kmh, at 150 kmh this is the ''reward'' - 6 demerit points Immediate 7 day license suspension Immediate 7 day vehicle impound Up to 2 year license suspension Minimum fine $2,000 Maximum fine $10,000 Jail up to 6 months 100% + Insurance increase. Why would I buy a Porsche or any car for that matter that was designed for speed????? Vanity is the only reason. Amount of people that will take their leased performance machines to the track is next to zero, its all an exercise in showing off.
in one state where i live in australia, the northern territory, there is no speed limit but loads of wild buffalo camels emus big red kangarros, not fun collecting one of those at 160kph, but porsches, ferraris lamborghinis are just a fashion statement or status symbol, they just happen to have 4 wheels and you can ride around in them, cost or reliability dont really matter
@@djizzah driving Ferrari wearing budgie smugglers and thongs, real aussie dream. My brother in law was a paramedic in Tassie , scraped his share of dead bodies off the road.
Smell of jealousy 😂
@@alexkaka7197 hardly, simply logic. I bought new boat this year and decided to keep my 6 yo suv. Simply different priorities in life.
@@robertduklus6555 yea, no offense . I agreed on what you say this time
Don't get one unless you like 300$ oil changes and 1000$+ repairs for stupid basic shit. As 'great' as porsche may be, the cost of continued ownership isn't worth it, not to mention the entry cost of initial ownership. Same goes for mercedes, bmw, audi, et al. They're all way too expensive to buy and maintain when you can get the same quality experience from more cost efficient vehicles.
Maybe you should stick with Toyota...
@@Motormouth... Toyota's are pretty damn reliable... and if for some reason something does break, it's not necessarily going to cost at least a paycheck... a tiny clip for a center console latch today was over 900$ to replace... a power steering pump on a boxster is almost 3 grand to replace, if not more depending on labor. Yeah, I'm definitely sticking with my older, cheaper, vehicles...
Unbelievable how these reviews are mailing these influencers rich. For driving new cars. What a dog. What a world. Technology created jobs and killed jobs.
I wonder where they're being mailed to? And who's paying for the exorbitant postage?
So hokey...I can't
my friend got one, injection pump went just outta warranty diesel, $9000!!!...piece of junk, stick to kluger or hilux..only one decent porsche for money no object folk, the 911
