Smooth ride, excellent performance, maneuverable!

Perfect in its niche of a compact SUV/crossover: luxurious, spacious, powerful, comfortable, maneuverable. Ideal for those who love style, and do not want to drive what everyone else is driving. Ideal for those who do not like/need sedans or low profile sports cars, but are not ready to settle for a huge SUV. That's when Macan comes in place! Compact SUV is exactly what it is, but add here 340 hp (for base model Macan S), smooth ride, amazing maneuverability, interior comfort and at least two packages - and you will enjoy it without paying $100,000. Almost 1.5 times less! A little problem is that people do mistake it for a $100,000 car, which is flattering but not needed.

I have a Macan S I bought new, and was unaware that they have some major issues until I hit 60K and I was told my engine needs to come out for an oil leak...this is a common problem, along with the transfer case. The car needs suspension work at this point already as the bushings are worn. The car drives like it has 100k miles.

Transmission failed at 22k. Could never get good sound quality. Though I bought new found hood had been painted. Sold back to dealer.

The Mecan

Not only does the car look absolutely fabulous, but it handles and drives like a Porsche. The interior looks like the cockpit of an aircraft. We bought this car because a neighbor who is a car buff said it was the best car he has ever owned; he was spot on!

The car has had no mechanical problems over the past 2 years. It is fun to drive both short and long trips. My wife likes it better than her car. I will not buy anything other than Porsche from now on.
