2017 Porsche Macan S Review...Greatest USED SUV

- 2017 Porsche Macan S Review featuring a bright blue model with espresso brown interior. The Porsche Macan is a best seller for Porsche and for good reason. The Macan S is the correct performance on the road. See my Porsche Cayenne Review: • 2019/2020 Porsche Caye...
I believe the 2017 Porsche Macan S is one of the best used SUVs one can buy. The performance and refinement of the Macan is uncanny among the competition. If you own a Macan S, please let us know how it has aged over the years.
Before continuing, a huge shout out to European Performance for allowing me to do this review for you. Info below:

See my 2019 Porsche Cayenne Review: th-cam.com/video/pH8GmWH623A/w-d-xo.html *Correction on the price of this vehicle, it is $46,500, I don't know why I said this near new Macan S was less than $40k sorry.*
I'm looking to buy a Macan S 2018 with the premium plus package and a bunch of other add on. 12000km on it. For $50400. Is that a good price??
Mate, your reviews are excellent - knowledgeable, competent, practical and honest - you deserve a LOT more viewers!
Oh I appreciate that my friend, I'm just happy to have supporters like you, thank you!
I bought a 2016 blue Macan S about 5 months ago (CPO). The thing is freaking amazing. I almost feel like I'm in a tall sports car instead of a performance SUV. Considered GTS/Turbo as well but the S is an absolutely incredible value for the ~$30-40K range.
Hows the reliability so far?
Any reliability issues? Anything breaking down?
any chance you can follow up on the reliability and costs of ownership?
@@4ndrew-Elysium It's been decent but it's no Lexus. (My Lexus and Acura have literally had no problems for their entire lifetime). The only major problem I've encountered hasn't been a mechanical 'issue' per se, but I had to replace my radiator due to a large rock hitting it and causing a coolant leak. Parts + labor at an independent shop was about $1500 (in California) so it's certainly not cheap if something major goes south. Other than that, I've only paid for routine oil changes and maintenance costs at the normal service intervals. However, 3 other somewhat annoying items were covered by my CPO warranty in the first 2 years of ownership: 1. The window switch broke off (apparently a common problem) so I had to have the entire assembly replaced since they don't sell the individual switches, through luckily it was covered by CPO. 2. A mechanism in one of my headlights that levels the light when the car is turned on completely broke. Once again, they don't repair the headlight - they just replaced it. And 3. The seat cooler for the driver's side stopped working, and had to be fixed.
These aren't really mechanical issues but pretty typical of German cars - at this point (a few years after I bought mine in 2020), I'd recommend getting a 2019 or later (after the minor facelift), and CPO if possible, though not necessary. I hear there are less of these little issues and it has a better infotainment system. Hope that helps!
Same question
You are literally one of the top car reviewers in the world. Your channel is so underrated!
I’m so humbled by that Barry thank you for your very kind words
Thank you so much for reviewing. I learned a lot and you mentioned SUV’s I was already comparing. Spot on!
You _REALLY_ always come in clutch with these videos! I’m trying to figure out what vehicle I wanna by next, I’m torn between a “new” and a “used” vehicle- like a new 2024 Tacoma, or a used 2016-2018 luxury SUV. You are one of the very few channels that makes videos on “used vehicles” from a “used standpoint” and so far you’ve covered all 3 of the used SUVs I’ve researched😂
I'm glad I could be of value to you my friend!
Been waiting for this!! Yesss!!!
Glad I could deliver my friend!
i hav 2015 model , its damn good, feel the same as your review, amazing car!
Excellent review
Thank you my friend!
Just bought this Macan. Funny enough I saw this video while on the way to pick it up.
Oh wow massive congrats my friend great ride I know you'll enjoy it
I'm actually in the process of buying this car! Do you happen to have records for it?
@@wj1763 my number is in the owners manual. Call me
Looks like the only options that particular Macan S was configured with, is the premium pkg, LCA, Truffle Brown leather interior pkg w/ burl walnut trim, and Dash mounted compass.
I like the looks
I’m thinking about a Turo rental of a Macan. Looks perfect!
Dude I'm going to test drive a fully loaded 2017 Macan S this Friday with 35k miles. If all goes well, I'm buying it!
Nice it’s a sick ride, just be sure to buy with a warranty or CPO from Porsche enjoy
Did you buy it ?
@@unclebob4964 @Uncle Bob49 I actually went to see another Macan S today opportunistically. It was a fully loaded (apart from Reverse Cam and Adaptive Cruise) 2014 with 60k miles. The guy was an enthusiast and the condition inside and out was absolutely unbelievable. However, the colours weren't my first choice. White on outside (not keen on this) and Red inside (not bad). The car drove amazing, the 18 way seats are so comfortable. The suspension just tackled all bumps at mid to higher speeds so impressively. However, here's the negatives that put me off. 1. The car is on the claustrophic side due to the high front console. The black headliner combined with sunroof (which is tinted and doesn't let much light in) and rear privacy glass (also tinted), means that the back of the car is very dark. The central tunnel is big and difficult to climb over. My girls love reading books in the car and they wouldn't be able to do this. The worst part is that the car wasn't specced with rear ventilation! So the thought of my kids being in a dark, cramp space with no air was a big turn off. The boot is on the small side for what we are used to. Aside from the amazing driving dynamics, it's not the most practical family car. Really has me looking at Cayennes now! I'll probably cancel the Friday appointment as I prefer more space to extreme driving dynamics. I'm sure the Cayenne will be plenty capable enough, especially as my wife will be driving it most of the time.
Yea my friend Macan is certainly a bit cramped. Cayenne would fit your needs much better especially a more loaded one with ventilated rear seats. Plug in hybrid variant would be nice to save on some fuel as well
@@aerotus888 I think you’re on the right track. I ordered my 2017 and was able to customize it a bit. ( and boy is THAT ever expensive !!! )
The missing options you mentioned would bother me too !
My other thought is the fact it is a “first year” Macan. That alone shouldn’t be a deal breaker…..that’s just MY hang-up.
The Cayenne has been around for ever…..and roomier for the kids.
At the end of the day, I do think you will be happier with the Cayenne……or a bit better optioned and newer Macan.
Good hunting…..
I've driven an SQ5 (2016) and it was below expectations. Most notably the suspension stiff and unbefitting of a family cruiser. It just wasn't enough to get me excited over a standard 3L diesel Q5 which I ended up getting years ago. Sold that as it felt too clinical and the 4 wheel drive forward bias was unexciting and felt like a driving a box.
This car definitely has been underestimated
Can you do one for the 2019 one? Thinking of getting one next March or April and am curious on your take!
I will see what I can do my friend, yea the 19 did get revised a lot more, closest I can offer you right now my friend is a 2019 Cayenne review I did which is in my pinned comment.
@@MeynMotorGroup Bet appreciate the reviews!
Damn thank God another review. TH-cam was getting kind of dry.
Damn really I thought we were oversaturated with reviews lol
WOOOO!
Glad you could make it my friend!
I see that Lc500 hiding in the back lol.
So beautiful and apparently looks even better in person.
D-B-A i saw the limited edition yellow lc500
Very sick car
Haha appreciate that guys, yea LC doesnt do itself justice on film has to be seen in person
Dude I was thinking the same thing
Very nice, that blue looks sharp!👌👍😍
Agreed!
Good
Like you said Kevin it's surprising that it's still on the lot!
Yea this was super nice for sure 👍
The Porsche Macan shares its platform and wheelbase with the first generation Audi Q5 (2008-2017). The suspension configuration is based on, and heavily modified from the Audi, but the engine, transfer case, suspension tuning, interior and exterior body are unique to the Macan. in other words this is not a Q5, it is a Porsche on an audi platform which isn't bad. that is pretty much were the similarities stop
I hate how the recirculation button turns off bye itself!
The steering on the Cayenne and Macan of all this generation just let me down. Really feel artificial, the exhaust note isn’t bad though
I love the design of all Porsche cars but the SUVs have never grabbed me. Nothing wrong with it (and it’s engineering is near perfect) but for some reason I’d never be motivated to fork over the cash. Whereas, I look at something like the Velar and start making excuses for all it’s shortcomings.
RR is another great suv very smooth experience just lacks the handling and trans of Porsche. Styling is def very subjective so I don't blame you
beautiful and fun vehicle but the maintenance must be expensive
Why do you keep on showing a 2019 refreshed facelift model while reviewing a 2017? They both might be blue but aren't the same S.
He’s showing and testing a 2017.
What year is your Macan ?
you are a good reviewer but you forgot to mention the not so great fuel economy not to say bad and the weight is 4400 lb not 4000
Yea the weight figure was all over from 3900-4400 depends on the spec and model yea this is not a vehicle one buys for fuel economy 😆
Hi Kevin, the Car sells very well in Europe customers with a little bit more money like this small SUV very much because you can drive the Macan very Sporty but not with the Base Motor the 2 L Turbo with 240 HP it is too weak, thanks for the Rev.
Yea Im sure this is highly coveted for sure, it is a nice prestigious Porsche afterall
@@MeynMotorGroup yes that´s right.
Id imagine some of the diesel variants would be the better option instead of the 2.0T petrol.
Diesel models we don't get in the states but I'm sure it is a torque monster
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
First like always boss!
Exhaust Sports Auto Yea bro Happy Friday TGIF 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Exhaust Sports Auto Will holler back at u in a few as soon as I finish watching your video in a few 👍🏾👍🏾
Yes sir happy Friday 😊
Exhaust Sports Auto 😎👍🏾👍🏾
I know it was definitely fun to drive bro I like the rear looks but not the front at all another car with that duck 🦆 beak look lol
Yea if anything most people don't like the front, I thought it looked clean af lol 😂
Exhaust Sports Auto Lol ain’t knockin other people’s opinion on it bro just my opinion 👍🏾👍🏾
For sure bro 💯
Not mlb mqb platform
Mqb is for front wheel drive based budget models...Macan is on the MLB
@@MeynMotorGroup thank you
Get your self Spyder wheels.
It will completely change the profile of the vehicle.
I agree... just put a 2021 Macan S configuration on order from the factory in Germany... and with the Spyder wheels and PASM+air suspension.. can't wait to get it in May!
Just bought this Macan. Spyder wheels are one of the first thing I'm getting.
Porsche doesn't stand behind the quality of their vehicles. The 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.
Macan S is just audi q5 3.0t sline non detune
sounds like an audi s6
Nice!
I'm 6'5 do you think I could fit in this?
A used Toyota Matrix is way better and more reliable. I own one + a Porsche 928s 32v 5speed.
Trolling on a new level 🤣
@@MeynMotorGroup lol :))))
