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.

Forgot I am driving an SUV

The performance and handling are the obvious reasons for why I got the Macan. But now, after 1300 miles, the experience keeps getting better. Being 4'11" is always a challenge but the seat and steering wheel easily accomodate me. And the side mirror doesn't block my view when making left turns - that is not the case in the Audi Q5 which I also considered. I can see all around which was a problem in the BMW X6 which has a rear window that left me with huge blind spots. The best comfort feature is the vented seats. In a black with black interior, the vented seats cool quickly and keep me cool on hot summer days. The only nit I have is that the Apple Car Play doesnt always turn on when I plug in my iPhone 6. Although it isnt an issue if my husband plugs in his iPhone 6S. I have one warning, it is easy to go very fast and not realize it. 50 feels like 35. 90 feels like 70. So newbies need to get used to the handling to control themselves...or not! Took a ride in my friend's Tesla and while the 400hp could do 0-60 in 4 seconds and make. you feel like you sere on a roller coaster, you felt the curves and the car feels looser. My Macan is much better and hugs the curves for better control. ----having trouble adding in the purchase date so adding it hear: August 2016 bought a 2017.

Just over 32k miles... in twenty months.

This is the long term review. From day one this car has been a pleasure to drive, my 997 spends most of its time resting in the garage. Also in the stable (kids & dog car) are a BMW X5 and two BMW X3's. The Porsche is a sports car with a hatch that you can drive comfortably for eight hours without fatigue... the BMW's are older, well made and are not as fast or handle as well. The M series may be different. The Porsche excels with handling speed and comfort. The car has been in for service due to brake booster issues (vacuum leak) at 30k miles and routine maintenance. Tire wear has been surprisingly little... I owned a Cayenne that ate tires, so having great Michelin tires that look and drive new with 32k miles on them is a bonus. I fully expect to drive this car well over the 100k mark just like the BMW's... oil changes every 7500 and enjoy a wet golden retriever and a surfboard in the back...

When performance meets luxury, beauty & co

For me, this is one of those beautiful looking cars with Porsche's classic design elements and luxury embedded. Performance is the soul of this car with amazing braking & acceleration. Pros: Luxurious, sound of the exhaust pipes, performance, good options which cover most of the use-cases & requirements, leather seats, panoramic roof, PDLS(this is a worth feature) Cons: the infotainment system looks pretty old though when compared to Audi/BMW. Expensive options which adds significant cost to the final price. Mileage is not great(340hp V6 engine). Rear seats leg room is not super great.

If you like to be different from the crowd

For the most part I love my new Macan. It was what I was looking for in the way of sportiness and practicality after having a Mercedes CLS that couldn't handle the bad roads of Houston. In sport mode it is engaging and quick but in traffic I just drive in comfort mode. Perfect size and easy to park. Only problem so far is my Sat radio function stopped working after 4 days and I have been waiting over 2 months for a replacement. Pretty disappointed that Porsche has not fixed this yet but hopefully soon. Getting about 21MPG combined so far.
