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

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.
