We regret buying a Porsche Macan

We have had multiple issues with the Macan. It makes a loud noise when driving over 65 mph. The driver's seat had to be replaced but the dealership did a poor job, resulting in pain when sitting on the seat. And Porsche Corporate does not stand behind its vehicles, they direct everything to their dealerships and they don't help/intervene when there is a problem with the dealership. Worst decision I made was buying a Porsche Macan S.

Macan is Awesome!

Porsche has a winner. This thing is better than the Cayenne, and more economical too. I got rid of a brand new MBZ GLB (10K miles) to get my new Macan. This SUV has plenty of room in back for whatever. My skis fit inside, which is a plus. Drives well uphill at freeway speeds +. Goes like hell downhill too. Driving experience feels like driving a Porsche car which I really enjoy.

Macan - Outstanding SUV with Sports Sedan Handling

After owning six SUVs from another German manufacturer, the Macan is by far the best driving one. Porsche has really figured out how to provide feed back with electric power steering. The suspension is firm, but eliminates harshness. All the controls are easy to use and you don't have to use the display to adjust the controls normally used. The Macan is the incredibly quiet. Several people have commented on how quiet it is. I have nothing negative to say about the Macan. Of all the vehicles my wife and I have owned over 50 plus years, this is our favorite vehicle. UPDATE: Of the nine SAVs and SUVs we have owned, the Macan is by far our favorite. While it does not carry as much as the larger SUVs, it is way more fun to drive. It has the best steering, handling and braking of any SUV I have ever driven. It certainly drives closer to a sports sedan than it does to a typical large and heavy SAV/SUV. Update 2: While the Macan remains our favorite SAV/SUV, the cost of maintenance at the dealer is absurd. They wanted over $1,800 for an oil change, brake flush and changing all the filters.

Macan S has A Rough Ride Without Air Suspension

My 2017 Macan GTS had a much smoother and refined ride as it had electronic air suspension that's why I went for the 2020 S. There was no GTS at the time. Frankly, I live in New York and the ride quality on most roads is brutally harsh. On the highway at high speed it is a true sports car. Its all good if you live in a location with smooth roads. Its fast and very well built. I would not have done this deal without the GTS suspension or pay much less for the base Macan, not the S.
