My loaded 2015 Macan S
Stop! Warning! Do not drive Porsche Macan S unless you want to buy a ridiculously fast, ultra responsive SUV. At 48 yo I'd owned over 35 cars, 20 of which were brand new purchases others were used. When I bought my macan s it was a CPO with only 23k miles. Im not an emotional consumer either the numbers work or they don't. However, if the numbers didn't work I'd have bought it anyway. How fast is this vehicle you ask, all you need to know is you can pull out in front of most anyone except another Porsche. You need to worry about rear ending the vehicle ahead of you. The braking system is phenomenal 70-0 mph in 89 feet. The pros CPO warranty has a $0.00 - deductible and adds 2 years and up to 100K miles from original warranty. The bad $389 oil changes, $2,200 - brake job

Not premium brand quality, reliability, or CS
I have owned my 2015 Macan S since new. It has 27000 miles and has been at the dealer for almost 6 weeks now. Porsche has a known issue with their transfer cases - both on Macans and Cayennes. Since this is such a common problem they extended warranties on both - Macan for 7 years and Cayenne for 10 years. Why not 10 yrs for both cars??????? My Macan is now on it's 3rd transfer case. This latest replacement is on me - $3,200. Porsche refuses to acknowledge they have not fixed the transfer case issue and also refuses to continue to cover the costs of the repeated repairs on same part. Trying to talk to Porsche management is totally impossible. They are not interested in voice of their customers. My car also has 7 modules that I am told are coded incorrectly. How does this even happen??? Cost to replace 3 of the 7 is $4,900. OMG If all 7 end up needing replacement the cost will be insane. No one has seemed to be able to diagnose the issues my car is having. Porsche techs, Porsche field reps, Porsche field rep manager. Again, this car has only 27,000 miles and has been babied its entire life. Anyone purchasing a Macan or ANY Porsche - GET AN EXTENDED WARRANTY for as long as you plan to own it. I'll be getting rid of my Macan once if finally gets out of dealership servicing. I no longer see joy in the car and no longer feel it will be reliable. Previously had 2 Mercedes for 17 years - with no major repairs the entire time. Porsche is a nice car to drive and looks good but if its quality is poor and Porche client relations is poor then it is not worth owning one

Buy One Buy Two
I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8....470 hp Hemi a blast to drive.....right up until I bought my wife a Macan S. I trimmed it out to my liking so suffice it to say it's a bad azz all around vehicle. The power is plenty, the handling is insane and I love the look of this car....Agate gray with black wheels. When I have a choice to take a car out it is now always the Macan.....always. The Jeep is 4 years old now and guess what I did? I ordered a Macan Turbo for me. 120 more days and I'll have no more envy issues. I looked at the GLE 63S and other bigger Performance SUV's but afer a year of looking I was afraid whatever I Bought wouldn't equal the Macan. Why fight it? If I hear one more time the Macan is the baby brother to the Cayenne I'm gonna lose it. The Cayenne to the Macan is like a Cessna to a Gulfstream. Please.

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.

Best Luxury SUV
Great mileage, over 25 mpg, great handling, ride, and acceleration. Cost is inline with competition, but resale is sky high. One weakness is interior storage space for a purse, etc. We test all cars and this is the one we bought. That says in all. Buy it and enjoy.
