Bribed wife to swap with my car

We traded my wife's Cayenne Diesel for Macan S as our kids are older now and our youngest will now drive in a year. I loved driving it so much that I bribed her to take my 2014 BMW 535iX mSport and a promise that she can pick a luxury sedan when the BMW's lease comes up in 5 months. The Macan S is now my daily driver into Manhattan and it's a pleasure to drive. It's pretty comfortable, extremely tight and fun to drive. I got the White Ash interior package which is very unique and extremely high-end looking. Just feels like a million bucks when driving. The only knock on it is the base stereo is not very good (I overlooked it because I liked the White Ash interior so much and didn't want to wait 3 months). The S is plenty of power with 340 hp. Turns heads and just... so much fun to drive.

My Macan S is by far the most enjoyable new car in my long car-buying history. I have purchased Ford, Olds, Nissan, Toyotas, Honda, Acuras, Infiniti, BMWs, but not since my '98 E36 M3 have I been so thoroughly impressed with a car. Great handling PLUS great ride, solid, quiet (almost too quiet), fast, plus much better mpg than I expected (23.8 @ 2600 miles)...I make up excuses to go places just to drive this car. Didn't rate reliability because it's new & my 1st Porsche. Came from '08 and '10 MDX, & was going to try X-3 35i until the Macan info came out in January. Picked mine up in May. 8/16 Update: Still love this car at 2+ years and 27K miles. 100% trouble-free (only few software updates). Got over 25mpg on recent road trip. Still solid and rattle-free. Only "negatives" would be reg maintenance cost (i.g. oil changes) overpriced. And the sun visors could be a little larger. Update: At 40 months, still my favorite new purchase. Had 2 recalls handled with a morning visit, but zero problems to date. Still drives like new. Great exhaust sound. Usually get "new car bug" at 3 years. Recent test drives of new competition leave me unimpressed (except for new Panamera 4S which is out of my $ range). I check trade-in value every year (avg. of KBB, Black book, Edmunds, NADA), and residuals are extremely high. $about $14.5K depreciation for 36 mos, 35K miles. Outstanding. 2/19 Update: 54K Miles, still drives like new. I rarely keep cars this long, but this Macan has delayed the new car bug from attacking. Actually had to buy new tires last month. Replaced Michelin Latitudes with Michelin Pilot A/S 3+...really like these new tires. Only problem to date was exhaust bracket repair under warrantee.

One of the best SUV's on the market

This is one of the best SUV's you can buy at the 52-55K price point. Performance wise, it feels like you driving an larger sports car. Acceleration is on point, and handling is very tight for a car this size. When you hit the brakes you feel it. Aesthetically the outside of the car is beautiful, with curves and design that make it look very elegant and sporty. It looks like a traditional Porsche. Personally I'm not a fan of the interior, the cockpit layout of the buttons is too much for me and makes it feel like your in a 747. Also not a fan of the navigation system, but if Porsche is able to incorporate the new nav systems they have for the 718 for newer editions then that problem is solved. Overall great car, would take this over a BMW X4 any day.

Compared to any other car I have ever owned, this tops the cake! Drives like a car, yet sits higher and has a bit more carrying capacity than a car. I no longer get upset about sitting in traffic, even though this car wants to race!!

Fun to drive, outdated tech. Fuel economy is dismal and maintenance costs astronomical
