Macan S - Ultimate driving pleasure

2021 Porsche Macan S 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7AM)

I love my Macan S it drives so well and I treasure every moment of it. For the features it’s fairly priced. The only thing you should be prepared is high cost of servicing every time you take it to a Dealer you end up paying $2-3 k minimum..

The Plus of Porsche Engineering
Ex Golf-R Owner, 12/19/2020
2021 Porsche Macan S 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7AM)

A Macan S has become my daily driver after two VW Golf Rs. On the cusp of 80, I still wanted a car with a sporting character, but something that was blessedly quiet and that could accommodate easily a couple of friends and their golf clubs. I considered an Audi SQ5 which nominally is a better buy but rejected it as too SUV-like in its driving characteristics. I tested a Mercedes GLC AMG43 and found it much too truck-like, and especially so the one I drove with 21” wheels. The Macan S, however met my needs perfectly. For its weight, it is exceptionally nimble with a very tight turning radius. It is bank-vault quiet at speed with none of the annoying artificial engine sound that is pumped into my wife’s Audi S4. On European-like macadam roads, it rides with barely a ripple. On broken pavement, the ride is firm but never harsh. I intentionally purchased a Macan S with 19” wheels and without air suspension. I also will heap praise on the comfort of the Macan’s seat and the quality of its Bose sound system, the quality something of a surprise given the fact that the system has only 10 speakers. Fit and finish are impeccable. The car’s only real negatives, however, is the back seat’s tight legroom and price. While mine equipped with the Premium Plus package and Adaptive Cruise Control priced out at “only” $72K, it is plainly lacking in the many bells and whistles that are common in many cars costing considerably less.

2023 Base Macan vs Macan S
Melissa and Doug, 03/04/2023
2023 Porsche Macan 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
16 of 16 people found this review helpful
My wife and I went round and round for weeks about the base vs the S. I actually wanted the Cayenne but it's her primary car and said she preferred the Macan. I said, if we get the Macan it's gotta be the S. We'll I lost out on that decision too. She wanted the volcano gray base macan with the leather pkg and some nice wheels. I gotta admit the base macan is absolutely fantastic. I'm sure the S is nicer and more powerful and amazing to drive but we are 100% thrilled with the 4 cylinder. It's all the comfort and speed we need. It's my wife's car and she loves it. I try and drive it every chance I get. It's a pleasure to drive and you will be happy with either car.

Excellent vehicle but not perfect
Ole Miss Mike Houston Texas, 07/16/2023
2022 Porsche Macan S 4dr SUV AWD (2.9L 6cyl Turbo 7AM)

I bought my 2022 Macan S after a 6 month wait after ordering. I paid MSRP for $92K and change before tax. I have never owned a car that received so many compliments. Of course being a Porsche will get you that but my main compliment is for its Miami Blue color with 21” Spyder wheels. Performance wise my Macan leaves no wants. That engine mated with the PDK transmission and the suspension with PASM makes it more of a sports car than a compact SUV. The Sport Chrono package in Sport Plus turns it into a beast. A GTS spec’d out the same as my S would have only cost me $6K more (with a couple of free options) but it would have only given me .3 sec faster to 60 mph and I was told would have had a rougher ride. Just for the GTS badge in the back. The S is the sweet spot in this model line. My negatives are few. The standard speedometer and tach dials (dark gray) have a small hood over them that casts a shadow making the dials darker to read than they should be. At night with them lit it’s no problem but in daytime it lacks in my opinion. I wish I had paid for lighter colored dials. Sometimes with the key fob in my pocket the engine will not start and a warning display sign states that the car is not reading the fob. When I move the fob around inside my pants pocket the car will eventually start. Sometimes I have to move the fob 2-3 times. The 360 degree camera is a very nice feature but the back up camera view is not a direct view and a little curvy. I don’t like that. It takes some getting used to. If you pay extra for the Porsche crest on the headrests (like I did) they don’t show very well on dark upholstery. The (haptic) buttons I really dislike like everyone else does. You have to take your eyes off of the road to activate them. I wish they would have left the real buttons from the 2021 and before models.

Macan T

2023 Porsche Macan T 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
9 of 9 people found this review helpful
Thanks to Edmunds, I was able to get the car at a fair price. Given that the dealers are marking up every car on their lot, Edmunds tools helped us get the Macan T instead of the base. Macan T is just an awesome upgrade compared to the base and not too pricey as S or GTS. It feels like a perfect match between price and performance. The features on this Porsche is what you would expect from a Porsche plus more. I am very happy with this car, before this I drove a BMW 5 series and a Z. I clearly see what I get for the extra $. If you are thinking about a macan, I would recommend it!

After 6 happy years with an Audi Q5 we decided to make a change. Researched the new Genesis GV70, the BMW X3, Land Rover models, etc, and decided on a new Porsche Macan T in exterior Chalk with Bordeaux red leather interior. Its a stunning combination and we are absolutely in love with our new car. And it is in a relatively affordable package. This SUV is the perfect combination - my wife enjoys the size, maneuverability, style and looks for a daily driver, and I love the touches true to classic Porsche design and history that I can enjoy on a date night or a road or freeway swing with my adult son or friends. The acceleration through the PDK transmission gears and the different Sport Chrono modes and Sports Response button, as well as the feel of the steering are more than enough to create that dream sports car feel for me behind the wheel. It came optioned with the 18 way adjustable sport bolstered seats and they are amazingly comfortable. The ebony gloss haptic touch surfaces in the center console are awesome. The interior is not over the top fancy but is classic and well built in every way. It is a thrill to drive every time I get behind the wheel.

Just bought a new Macan S after driving a 911 for the past ten years. While the Macan may well have a generic look, it is still a Porsche at its core... fast, tight, just the right size, and oh so fun to drive. I needed a back seat. The Macan was the answer to having it all... even though I am keeping my 911.

Without an upgrade on the power seats adjustment is limited. At this price I would expect a fully adjustable power seat on the driver’s side
Handles better than other SUVs at this price point

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.

I am warning you that Porsches are not built well. If you buy one make sure you get an extended warranty and definitely trade it in before the warranty expires. Our Macan has spent more time at the dealer than in our own garage and Porsche doesn't seem to care. I should have known better when I popped the hood and saw all those cheap plastic components everywhere! We will never buy another overpriced Porsche again!

From the first test drive, I knew it was the right SUV for me, The ride and handling are ideal… my only change would be upgraded seats for a bit more comfort long distance…
Best car I ever owned (50+ years).

Excellent performance. Super fast and glued to the road. Storage capacity is adequate for my needs (despite it being cited as a negative for this vehicle). Bought it used, dealer certified, essentially as good as new. Was lucky to find a car loaded with all of the options close to home (after searching nationwide on Edmunds for over a year).

There is just something about that Porsche purr…This thoroughbred can run! The Macan lives up to the Porsche brand. Went old school & ordered the walnut trim in the interior (no charge). One of nice things about Porsches is you can order to your specific wants. I am definitely sold on the brand, & will be a repeat buyer…great experience w/no regrets. Update: Feb 2025 & continue to be impressed with this automobile. Absolutely no problems. Porsche’s commitment to automobile excellence has sold me on the brand!

For a 4 cylinder it’s unbelievable fast. The base is less than a 10th of a second slower than the twin turbo Macan S.

In auto or manual mode my downshift paddle shifters gears 5 thru 1 do not slow the vehicle. The engine revs and the RPM’s increase but the transmission doesn’t engage to slow the vehicle.

I tested a variety of other brands and it really isn’t even close. This GTS is amazing it gets driven 3 times a week. I would recommend to anyone. This vehicle makes driving fun again. This is the only reason to buy it. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Rear tires will need replaced at 25K miles, because they are a different size from the front.

Our 2023 Macan T performs well. The engine is a delight and handling is excellent. However, it developed an annoying issue with the RPM and speedometer needle rattling/vibrating when entering, opening the door and starting the car. Very strange indeed. The dealer could not duplicate the problem at first even after providing a video of the issue. But now, the frequency of the problem is becoming more frequent. So the car is going back to the dealer for evaluation. Other issues relate to pairing the PCM unit to the iPhone when using the My Porsche App. It has been an ongoing issue.
