2024 Porsche Macan Consumer Reviews
Macan S - Ultimate driving pleasure
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
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.

Love my 2023 Macan T
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.

2023 Base Macan vs Macan S
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.
