Mecan S

2018 Porsche Macan S 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7AM)

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.

2018 Porsche Macan Sport Edition 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

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.

My Second Macan

2019 Macan S. Driving is a sort of art form as far as I am concerned, so it is mandatory that I search the entire SUV marketplace for the best. I believe I have found it in the Macan S. The driving experience of the vehicle is superior to all so called competitors. I drove them all to include MB, BMW, Audi, Jag............ Porsche has done a good job of taking quality materials inside for an elegant but simple layout. The tech part of the vehicle takes a little getting used to but simple to use after a little time. My S has excellent straight line acceleration with a very very small turbo lag. It goes around corners at speed with almost zero body roll making taking corners very comfortable. The ride is taught, but pleasant. Some steering feedback, but not a lot. I have a 911 as my other car so my field of interpretation is somewhat different than people who drive other cars I suspect. This vehicle is a solid 5 star, go drive one, I think you will agree. UPDATE, had the vehicle for 10months now, still very pleased. 7500 miles and no problems. This is a better refined overall vehicle than my 2017 Macan S, they have improved the rmp ratios for comfort driving over the old model. This 2019 Macan S stays in the lower gears a little longer making accelerating a little more aggressive and has eliminated the tendency for the vehicle to shift into higher gears at slower speeds. This vehicle is also able to default the auto engine stop to off, you do not need to reset it every time you start the engine like you do in a lot of other vehicles. Still 5 stars across the board............. UPdate 17000 miles. No complaints, all above writings remain constant and relevant to current.

A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing (Sly Lamb)

2018 Porsche Macan Turbo 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl Turbo 7AM)

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
