Used 2015 Porsche Macan Turbo 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl Turbo 7AM) Consumer Reviews

The 911 SUV

Fun to drive SUV:very close to handling like a 911 in the sport plus mode,A great handling and driving car ;however interior space is small for a SUV;however it has all the space that I really need .Durability is questionable for a 95000.00 vehicle.At 75000 miles the transmission had to be replaced;even though it was far out of my 50000 mile warranty; Porsche covered the replacement 100%. I also had to replace the valve cover gaskets,at this time. I normally try to drive my Porsche vehicles 150000 to 160000 miles before I sell it or trade it ;however I'm a little nervous about the future dependability of this one;therefore I ordered a 2018 Macon GTS and will off this one at 85000 miles.

Porsche Macan is a Beast

I have had the Macau Turbo for 7 months. I owned a Porsche Cayenne for two years and enjoyed it but wanted something with a better balance of power, quickness and supreme handling without giving up sitting up off the road like an SUV offers. The Macan provides the best driving experience of any car I have ever owned. The 3.6 L turbo and the standard adaptive suspension make the ride like no other SUV and many 2-door sports cars can’t touch. The 0-60 in ~4.2 seconds and the ability to masterfully handle curves at higher speeds than you can imagine possible makes every drive an experience. Beautiful styling in both the interior and exterior. Porsche has built an amazing high performance vehicle in the Macan Turbo. The sports plus feature takes the performance to another level.

Perfection , but costly

The Macan is great all aspects....almost. Yes the purchase price is high , but you know that going in. The disappointment has been in routine maintenance costs. Oil Change at dealership is $400.00+, if you shop for a good repair shop you can bring that cost down to about $250.00. The 30K maintenance at that same independent shop was $840. If you equip it with the optional 20 or 21" rims the ride suffers and the costs of those tires will exceed a grand and even driving like an old lady , the tires are good for maybe 20 to 25k miles. Love the car, it just eats too much $$. I can only imagine what a water pump or some electronic component would cost. Buy it or lease it , But once the warranty is up , I'd advise moving on. Did I mention the car is great? It is.

Pocket rocket

Too fast, too sophisticated, reliable and one hell of a German masterpiece.

If you can, do it!
