after driving bmw's for the last 25 years, decided to try a Macan S. What a great decision I made....smile.......... Powerful and my Macan S 2017 is a sports car acting machine outdoing most of the bmw's I have owned..........with the exception of my 3 series M convertible. It is a truly great combination of practicality and driving excitement. This is a Porsche, no doubt about it, from the sound of the engine to going around 35mph corners at 60...........its a Porsche! The ride and noise in the cabin are muted and comfortable, bumps are a little harsh, but the other attributes of the vehicle are well worth the small aggravation of the semi stiff ride. After all this is not a Lexus RX. Cabin is done very well with great materials and is big enough for me, 6'3", 260lbs. I am not sure what I would do to improve this vehicle, not anything I can come up with right now. 5 stars for sure...........................yippee!!!! UPDATE: 6mo owning the vehicle, 7000 miles. double down on all statements previous. nothing about the vehicle that I can complain about. it is really a blast to drive, so much in fact I find myself taking the long way to almost everywhere I go and going for joyrides very often. I have not had my first ticket yet as I am a careful driver, but the car is so responsive it is hard to drive the speed limits. Whatever speed you are going seems to slow. Get one or test drive one, until you do, you can not possibly know what I know. It is driving heaven. UPDATE, one year later.......... all review items remain at same high levels. I find myself driving places I don't need to go just to be driving. This is truly a great vehicle and it seems priced correctly for the quality and image that you get driving a Porsche. I am very pleased with this vehicle and it will be hard to drive anything else after this experience. update: 18 months owned, 18k miles. no further comments, all of my previous comments stand as written. Great Vehicle. Update, 23k miles. No change, 5+ stars! Yippee!! UPdate, 29k miles, vehicle still meeting all previous comments. I have owned a lot of top end sedans, sports cars and SUV's, this one tops the SUV list by a mile, my X5 was great, but no match for this vehicle. YIPPEE!! 32K miles now June 2019, nothing to add except the transfer case needed to be repaired. Dealer did it under warranty and vehicle is good to go. Thinking of a new one as soon as I get to 40k, next year probably. / Update Nov 2019. Traded in the 2017 Macan S for a 2019 Macan S. I like the Macan 2019 better for one reason, the transmission set up is much better. The 2017 shifted into the higher gears more readily and the 2019 does not. It is slightly a more aggressive engine-transmission set up without having to go to sport mode. The 2019 has increased horse power from the 2017, but you can hardly notice it, they both over perform in acceleration and handling abilities. The 2019 feels a bit heavier, but that is ok with me, it makes the bumps in the road a little less noticeable, this is an SUV not a track vehicle. Heavier or not, it goes through turns and is as sway resistant as the 2017, maybe better. The 2017 steering had a lighter feel and slightly more feedback when driving. The enlarged 2019 Nav screen is a big plus, the 2017 screen was to small. For some reason Porsche quit putting decorative roof rails on the car unless you order the car direct from the factory. Cost cutting??? You can not add the rails after market at the dealership. The vehicle looks better with the rails. Big bummer. Porsche has a winner with the Macan and they have not done much to change it from 2017, rear tail lights, no roof rails, and the bigger Nav screen seem to be the biggies. Some small aesthetic changes to the grill. It is still far and away the best in its class and worth the extra $ it commands. Update/Dec 2020, Macan S 2019, nothing new, excellent vehicle worth the extra $ over Audi, BMW, MB................. One very small nit picking complaint, the passengers side column between the front passenger seat and rear seat is thick, probably something to do with safety/overturn, but you can not see a small car where the column is if you look exactly at the right time. Need to look twice to be sure no car is there. It is a small blind spot, but a blind spot never the less. Otherwise, the vehicle is just about perfect. Update June 2022. My 2019 Macan S has about 19k miles on it now. Nothing changed on my reviews, 5 stars. Zero issues with the vehicle.

I have a 997.1, a Box S and a high mileage BMW X5. I bought this vehicle as a present for myself after finishing my last Chemo treatment... I've owned Porsche's for over forty years, numerous types including, 911's, 996's, 997's, boxster s, Cayenne and even a 914 in my younger days. The Macan is by far the best balanced SUV-sports car for the money you can find. Mine is not highly optioned. The engine is responsive in all ranges, the braking smooth and intuitive and the handling sublime; that's without any of the pricey suspension options. The base stereo is just fine and I consider myself an audiophile, the added sunroof and lane change assist were my add's along with the premium package.... $59.6k. The Macan has been a pleasure on long drives down the Big Sur coast or through the high Sierras... and the base seats are a lot more comfortable than my 997. The one thing you have to be careful about is the quickness of this car to go from 70 to 95 in a heart beat... its that fast.

Reaching our late 60's, my wife and I have had Blazers, Tahoe, BMW X-5, Mercedes ML series. We needed a somewhat smaller SUV but still haul grandkids, dogs, groceries, hardware around. The Macan S had all the accessories that we needed and wanted. The vision 360 degrees is great. Comfort is fantastic. Performance is perfect, this ole goat can run with any of them! The Macan is easy to maneuver and park. I took a close friend for a ride and he was astounded at the interior design and room! If you are considering updating an SUV and don't take a look at the Macan, you are cheating yourself.

Over the last 15 years I've had an X5 and two X3's, all brilliant SUVs in their own right, but this one is in a class all by itself. The drive and handling are typical Porsche; the more and the harder you drive it, the more confidence it instills. It's simply unflappable. It doesn't handling quite at the level of a 911 or a Boxster, but no other SUV even comes close, the aforementioned bimmers included. It even gets better mileage than either the X5 or the X3's. The Macan's styling is superb, and although it is built on the same platform as the Audi Q5, compared side-by-side it makes the Q5 look like a soap box. Admittedly the Macan S runs a few grands higher than all the other mentioned vehicles, but don't let that deter you from a test drive. It might just change your mind. It did mine. January 2019 - have had the car for almost 8 months now and still think it's the small SUV/crossover to get. Unflappable handling through rain, sleet, snow and everything in between. Fit and finish are also outstanding. I have two 55 lb dogs who ride in the backseat frequently and the Macan more than holds its own. Changes made to the 2019 model are minimal and mostly cosmetic. Will hold on to mine for a while! July 2019 - still have not changed my mind a bit...this is an awesome vehicle. Supremely dependable and fun to drive. January 2020 - this is a keeper for sure. Awesome handling, plenty of power, best-sounding exhaust on the planet! January 2023 - it's closing in on 6 years and 62k miles but still going strong and every bit unflappable. No mechanical issues whatsoever, and since I'm now using an independent shop for maintenance and the few minor repairs, cost of maintenance isn't even an issue. I'm setting my eyes on the all-electric Macan but I've read that it won't come for another year. That doesn't bother me that much; staying with this baby for another trouble-free and fun-filled year is fine with me. July 2023 Now they say the electric Macan won't come until mid-2024, and possibly with a substantial waiting list, but that still doesn't bother me. Pricing of the eSUV hasn't been released so it's possible it's out of reach. Staying with the 2017 (just reached 65k miles and humming like a, hahaha, well-oiled machine) is just fine, or even moving up to a later gasoline Macan S to wait for version 2 of the electric. There's a reason why the dealers are trying like mad to buy your used Macan. The car is so good, with a car wash and some cosmetic touchup, they can flip it and make $15-20k in a heartbeat. January 2024 Still getting lowball buyout offers from my local Porsche dealer every month, which I don't even open anymore. Just saw the first ad for the new electric Macan and it looks like it will be here this summer. Reports from the first looks are encouraging - the battery compares favorably with the best out there and the car still drives like a Porsche. Regardless, I'm still in love with my 2017 - it's that good! I have no problem with keeping it another year or so, then switching to one more gasoline Macan S before landing version 2 of the electric. Yes, there are decent competitions out there these days. They are getting closer, but they are not Porsche!

What I love about this Macan: Comfort, popular, good looks, quiet, fun to drive, good build quality. What I hate about this Macan: Maintenance is really expensive. In 40K miles I have spent $2250 versus Audi Q5 $1100 which I owned before. Audi's brakes need replacement every 25K. The dealer also was very stubborn on taking anything off the MSRP. Would I repeat this purchase? Probably not, you can save a few bucks buying the maintenance contract ahead which they didn't even offer me.

I love my Macan..it’s comfortable for long rides and it’s so nimble, that is a pleasure to drive...I’m so happy with it..can’t imagine downgrading to another car after this...my last car was a 2016 Volvo XC60 and I liked that car too...but the Macan is in a different class...

This is my first SUV; previous owner of Audi A5 and a few BMW 3-series cars. Wanted something sporty but higher off the ground. Really happy thus far with purchase. In addition, I purchased tire warranty and 5-year maintenance warranty. It is peace of mind for me. Interesting enough, I saw a nail in my tire just today so the warranty will come in handy inside of my first month of ownership. Updating after 3 years. Love the driving experience and overall layout of the Macan S! Updating after 4 years...maintenance has all been covered. With COVID, low mileage also helped... haven't changed tires yet.

I really wanted this Porsche and we traded my BMW X5 for it and my hubby's 911, however, now I don't want to take it many places because it was so darned expensive that I just want it to sit in the garage! lol I miss the shoulder and open room of my X5 and some other little features that you don't realize you enjoyed until they were gone. Soft close doors, heads up display, just the roomy feel in general. I love, love, love the Macan, however, being in my 50's now and not in my 20's, I enjoy the ease of getting in a vehicle as well as getting out, and that is very tight in this beauty. However, once you're in, it fits like a glove and rides like a dream. I'm torn with keeping her or getting the new Audi SQ5 or the Volvo XC-60 R Design. I'm truly a car person and giving up that Porsche for one of those is definitely going to feel like going a few steps down. I'm torn I tell you!!

I came out of a newer BMW convertible. Loved that car but needed something with just a bit more practicality. I looked at these on a whim and fell in love with the styling both inside and out. As soon as my wife sat in it she said....I want this car. Opted for the base with the premium plus package and 20" wheels plus a couple other options. Bought it for $52k net. I feel that it's actually a great value for what you get and there isn't another compact crossover that can touch it in the driving dynamics department. Handles like a 911. Average mid 20s on the highway on premium fuel. No complaints so far. The back seat could be a bit bigger, but it suits my 12 year old just fine.

2021/1/15 Update Still loving it, no issue came up so far (knock on wood). Maintenance is definitely on the high side which is what I signed up for. I love Porsche exterior design. I mean, who doesnt? When I was doing compact SUV shopping, one other factor was headroom for driver seat. I am 6'2'' and most compact SUV does not fit me well since I love driving while sitting upright. You will be surprised how much headroom you get from this seemingly small vehicle! To get this look I want, I am sacrificing cargo space. But I just picked a full size bed frame (in boxes) using this car no problem! Driving it is fun as everyone has talked about even mine is just the base model. Turning radius surprised my colleagues who rode a few times. I have only driven it for 4k miles so maintenance cost and everything is still unknown to me. We will see.

Bought a CPO 2017 Macan GTS with 9600 miles. Equipped with over $25000 in options including the incredible $4700 optional Bermester stereo with 16 speakers and 1000 watts. The air suspension is amazing giving very comfortable ride in normal and very firm and controlled handling in sport or sport plus. 911 owners who have ridden in it are very impressed. The sport exhaust has a great sound. As usual, the wife is right!

Moved up from Audi S6 to Macan S. Great driver very good acceleration, handling and braking. However it's at least 5 years behind Audi for technology. Actually discovered after picking up the vehicle - has no voice control. Apple car play requires phone to be ard wired to special plug. Very little control over car features. If you want a great driving SUV this is top of the list - but be warned a Chevy Cruze actually is more technical advanced for connectivity.

3 years of lease with this Macan. Hopefully this is ending in february od 2018 and we can rid of it ! Lot of problems , too often in the car dealer . We had problems with steering wheel and transmition once, have several issues with brakes noises, problems with stero/radio not working properly.... That it was not expecting when choosing a Porsche. Even though when big issues happened we didnt have any support from Atlanta headquarters and Miami dealer. A deep disapointment overall. Two friends of mine (company' peers) have had Macan and they are cancelling lease too, so I guess it is not a good bet . You are warned by three diferent clients!.

This car is full of mechanical problems. To include leaking fuel line, and exhaust brackets that easily brake causing horrendous noise. Well below even average quality. The roadside (yes you will need it!!) service is poor. The "concierge" service is a joke. They will tell you where you can go rent a car and they might pay for it after your $90,000 crappy car breaks down for the second time in 20k miles. Porsche has become a watered down brand with poor quality and even worse service! AVOID!!

We were T-boned in an intersection spinning our car sideways towards where the other car is coming from. The curtain airbags did not deploy. The passenger door where my 10 year old daughter was sitting twisted that both doors on the right side cannot be opened.Porsche claimed that it has to be at a certain speed and angle for it to deploy. Seriously? It would have been a different story if we were injured. Luckily, we were ok. What is sad is porsche stated that there is no need for further investigation since the technician claimed that it did not meet the threshold. Well how do I know if the sensors are working ok if they dont test it? If you care for safety, I don’t recommend porsche cars. I believe its better and safer to drive asian luxury cars for the price you pay.

I should start off by saying I am a Cayenne owner who got the chance to drive the Macan S as a loaner car for 4 days. I was generally quite disappointed. I've driven many kinds of cars, and the Macan simply does not stand out. I'm surprised by the overwhelmingly positive reviews, as the car does not live up to it. It is a rather average ride dressed up with a somewhat fancy interior that isn't particularly spacious or functional. Porsche has a way of making cars that are large on the outside and small on the inside (this complaint applies to the Cayenne as well). The rows of buttons in the center console is getting old, and the entertainment console is a joke compared to what you'd find in a Tesla. The exhaust note is a gimmick aimed at impressing new-to-Porsche owners, as the car is not particularly fast. A small capacity engine aided by turbo charger just doesn't cut it. After you spend some time with the car, you really start to feel like "Hey, this drives like any other car!". After my short stint with the Macan, I couldn't be happier to return the loaner.

The style is tops and so is the drive. As far as handling Mercedes and BMW does a better job . Another disappointment is the seat as it does not raise itself enough as well as weak on the lumbar department. A car of this stature should always be top of the line even without optional equipment. Possibly the newer models do as I’m referring to 2017 models

Best small SUV in the sport luxury market

I bought my 2017 Porsche Macan S in November of 2016 straight from the dealer with port of Baltimore shipping documents still inside the car and only 14 miles on the odometer! The smell of fresh leather and paint was truly intoxicating and so was the initial test drive! I bought it immediately from the dealer as the car had literally arrived on the showroom floor the day before. Thankfully I ended up driving it for the next 5 years until I had to relocate overseas for work. This is honestly one of the best small, luxury sports SUVs in the market, I had test-driven a Jaguar F-Pace SUV, Porsche Cayenne (base model) as well as an Audi SQ5 but had concerns about their reliability and finally decided to check Porsche Macan and hands-down it had a more comfortable ride and better handling than both of those cars. In addition my 2017 Porsche Macan S came with a Sport Chrono optional package which honestly was too much performance for such a small SUV (I can only imagine how fast the Turbo Model is). In my 5 years of owning this car I had no problems whatsoever, other than one fuse that went out in the back for the tire air pressure pump and that was replaced by the dealer right away. I also took my car several times "off-roading" in heavy snow and it handled exceptionally...the computer slippage system and breaking on ice/sleet was even better than my previous car Volvo S60r (AWD) which had been designed specifically for winter climates. My only minor complaint about this car would be the limited passenger space in the back and visibility from the rear window but again this "complaint" I was already aware of when buying a small SUV and learned to deal with it.

Have a ‘17 Macan S with 56k miles bought on CPO. Pampered from new. Had oil leaks from the timing chain cover - apparently most Macans suffer from this. Required an engine removal to repair. Also the transfer case went out. Again, most Macans are impacted. A number of lesser issues. Porsche is very reluctant to honor warranty issues; they used to be much better. The car drives and looks great, too bad it was under engineered, and poorly supported by Porsche. Don’t buy one!

I have owned BMWs for over 40 years. This Macan GTS is my first Porsche and it is great. It needs two things 1) to be available in a manual transmission (I know I can't shift as well as this transimission but It's more fun) and 2) to have a day time backlit tach when the lights are off (even paddle shifting needs a visible tach). I offered to buy a second Macan for my wife, but she won't give up her Mini because she loves a manual transimission too. I still have my BMW stick, as well. Our left feet are so bored with no clutch to operate. Having said all that, the Macan is still kick to drive. Love the way it sounds in Sport and Sport + mode.

Initially when I first bought this car, I disappointed in the space it had. My initial SUV was an Infinity FX 45 and it had plenty of legroom and trunk space. When I purchased the Macan, I compromised on all of that but I quickly got over it. I challenged my Macan with its handling on the roads and curves. I’m not a race car driver but the handling is undeniable. I love the quick acceleration and its smoothness on the road. It a beautiful car with Style & Grace from the outside but it’s meant to be a beast when you really drive it!

SO Many Big Problems

I had one for 6 months, transfer case started making noise, took it to Farmington Mi. Porsche because the warrenty on the transfer case was extended 7 years. Mine made it by a few weeks but they said it was the transmission that needed to be replaced, $10,000 plus. No thanks, my mechanic owns a repair shop checked it and said he could hear the noise coming from tranfer case. Back and forth with Porsche Corp. got nowhere. DON'T Buy one of these unless you like going to repair shop and have burn money. Check out all the problems owners are saying before even considering one
