2018 Macan GTS is the BEST
Bought it sight unseen and no test drive. Of course, this is my fifth Porsche in 20 some years. The Macan GTS is unbelievable. Great handling, great mileage, drop it into sport plus mode and blow the doors off almost anything on the road.

Love my Macan S!!
I came from a bunch of trucks and before that several performance suvs. Including an Explorer Sport, Edge ST, Jeep SRT, and an X5 45i. This vehicle completely triumphs them all. It has everything you could want and need. I have AWD for Northern Winters, Heated and cooled seats, premium soft and smooth leather, apple CarPlay, Bose Sound, sport exhaust, spider wheels, 18 way power and memory seats. This is one very well equipped Porsche, I love this, everyone else builds performance vehicles that they modify out of base versions. Porsche just builds Porsches. It handles every bit as well as my buddy's 911 (he's test driven it and verified) it's quiet and comfy. My girlfriend is in love with it and prefers to ride in it vs her S5. This machine is SO capable, I can drive it at 130mph and it's just as stable and planted as many sports cars. I got mine CPO, which I would definitely recommend because the price can get very steep. But, the CPO warranty is amazing! It's 2 years and unlimited miles on top of whatever warranty is left. I've had zero issues and it's as reliable as any lexus on the road. Such a cool decision! I'm so happy I bought one.

2018 Macan S
This wonderful little SUV is really a Porsche sports car just a little bit higher off the ground. It handles and drives and behaves like a sports car on the canyon roads and mountain passes, yet will provide security and comfort on freeways and long distant drives. The S package is probably the best value for most drivers, giving you most of the important features and engines available in the model without the additional bells and whistles found in the GTS and Turbo models. These additional features can easily add $25k with Porsche pricing. At resale I believe the S model will retain more relative value. The driving experience in the Macan S is superb and everyone should try the Porsche driving experience at least once in their life. Acceleration and braking are incredible as is the secure feel and surround of this car. If you wish to carry tall adults in the rear I might suggest the Cayenne where leg room and head room is better. Otherwise I cannot fault this model. I hope to have many years of use from this German gem

Mecan S
Know that this car is overall quite good. We purchased the car in Florida where roads are fairly smooth and there the car rode smoothly. In May we returned to Wisconsin where roads are very rough. Our car has 20" Spider wheels with Pirelli tires. The ride of the car in Wisconsin is very rough and quite noisy, as the road imperfections are transferred sharply through the suspension. Not very forgiving and very sport car like. Our second car is a BMW X3, 2018 as well. Day to night difference in the ride and smoothness on the road. Not totally dissatisfied with the Mecan S however I prefer to drive the Bimmer 10 out of 10 times.

Grandpa thinks he's Johnny Dark
I love my new Macan, I had a 2016 and thought it was great until I drove the new Macan. This is the quietest vehicle I've ever owned and I've owned a bunch of them. I never thought I would drive a 4 cylinder car until I drove the new sports edition. Wow, what a 4 banger..Mighty fine ride as my dad would say and that was back in the fifties. Would I recommend this Porsche. Right as rain and living in Oregon I know a little about rain. Take the coast highway Cannon Beach down to Brookings and you'll be in heaven. Roads are twisty with high banks with the most beautiful scenery you'll ever see. It's a drivers dream. See you on the road.

A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing (Sly Lamb)
After 17 years of 3 Lexus SUVs, which were competent and reliable, my wife and I consolidate a couple of cars and ventured out into the world of Macan. We were going to purchase a Macan T, but decided that we needed to check out if our 57 lb dog would fit into one. We went to our local Porsche dealer and there was a used 2018 Macan Turbo CPO (certified and with a two year warranty that we extended to five years) that we could drive. It was optioned with almost everything, except sport chrono and the performance package, wand since the car came with 400hp was unnecessary. On the first drive, we decided that it had to be ours (and our dog also fit into the rear). It was even ordered without the Turbo moniker, and in Carrrera White Metallic looks like a well mannered lamb, but engage the turbo and it becomes a very remarkable wolf. Superb Burmester sound rounded off the option list and the car originally was a 107,000 dollar machine. Its road handling, while not like my 911, is so far superior to any SUV I have ever driven and it feels more like a sports car than an SUV, that it seemed to have everything I ever wanted in a car. Entering onto a busy major highway is so easy with the turbo working that it is much safer than what I was accustomed to. Everything is high quality inside and out and in my Porsche Club, I have led 911 Turbo Ses and made the drives challenging for them. Gas mileage has been 20.3 combined for us and while it is now with premium gas, and a bit more expensive, is still quite good. Another plus for me is that since the Turbo is lower than my earlier SUVs, I no longer have seam injured male parts clambering down from high seats or climbing into the seats. The air suspension makes bumps disappear and I always drive the car in Sport Mode, which allows the car to really stick to the road and makes the transmission downshift when it is slowed down. The automatic PDK transmission shifts quickly and effortlessly, both upward and downward. The double insulated glass makes the interior quiet, bI have yet after over a month of ownership to discover any flaws or negatives. It now sits next to my 40 year single owner Porsche 911ut lower a window and the sounds are pure Porsche and the two of them make a terrific pair! Update: Still could not be happier with a car. We have added a second dog and she now weighs 44 lbs and both fit well in the Macan, one on the back seats and one in the hatch. Wonderful power when desired and I prefer to keep the car in Sport Mode, although when I go to my gun range I put the machine in Off Road and it does not skip a beat. I consistently achieve 21-22 mpg, which for a 400 bhp machine is remarkable. My Porsche Macan Turbo has become my favorite passenger machine. One friend rode in my Macan and went out and bought one. I can not think of another brand or other car .that I have any desire for

Terrific
Have driven about 1000 miles in 3 weeks. Macan is quick, comfortable, quiet and fun to drive. Technology is reasonably intuitive.
Best car ever (so far)
Coming up on 4 years of ownership, best car we’ve ever owned. Fun to drive even though it’s a base model. Reliable as anything, does what it’s supposed to do, always. Would’ve loved remote start.
