Not all I had hoped for

The first week of ownership now. I’ll submit another review in a few months once I’ve had some significant experience. I was lucky to find one that was sensibly speced out and not loaded with frivolous (and expensive) options The delivery experience was great, shout out Suncoast Porsche. But when I decided to get to know it better, I went to the owners manual. Imagine my surprise when virtually every topic I wanted to explore told me to go to the digital manual. Thank heavens for YouTube. It covered all I needed. But c’mon man you can afford a decent manual. Most of my concern was with the PCM system. Compared to my 22 BMW it’s way behind and difficult to use. For this price one should expect a far easier and robust system. As to driving, it’s a Porsche, enough said. I did own a Macan Turbo + and this is not that fast but I’m ok with that. Aside from the PCM I’m pleased with having found a sensibility equipped true drivers car.

Macan GTS is NOT an SUV

An SUV has no right being as much fun to drive as the Macan GTS. Do not think of this as an SUV. It is sports car wearing a box on its head!

2024 Macan S The 'S' Stands for Sweet

My progression to a Porsche was eight years in the making. In 2021 I traded a '15 Infiniti Q60 drop top for a '21 Audi Q3 S-Line. Engineering, power, and features were all there, but missing something. In '23, I traded the Audi for a new Porsche Macan base model. What a step up it was. But still missing that 'something'. Fearing the introduction of the electric Macan would mean one of the three ICE models was going to become extinct, I traded again early in '24 for an 'S" model. Nothing more to say other than it is missing nothing. Before the first 500 miles had been clocked, if gentle on the little pedal on the right, I was achieving 23 - 25 MPG which can be attributed to aerodynamics, horse power, and torque allowing the engine to stay in the higher gears. However, let the ponies out of the corral and you will not be disappointed. The turbo four in the base model just had to work a little harder. As for fit, finish, and comfort, I've not had anything that compares. The 21" wheels and tire combination, along with the 3-way shock absorber settings, give a ride that compliments the 375 HP in whatever driving mood you're in. The exhaust note is nothing but pure luscious music to my ears. Not a single doubt or regret in my view - buy an 'S' if you can find one.

Wife hates it

Yeah, my wife hates my new Porsche Macan S. To bad for her because I LOVE IT! I have owned many different makes and models but this Porsche Macan S is heads and shoulders above any of them. I love to start it up and hear the exhaust growl! It gets even better to go through the gears. The exhaust crackles and pops as the PDK goes through the gears. I might be old but driving this little beast gives this old man lots of driving fun and excitement! It handles like it's is set on a rail. It's been over a year now and I still mash the gas accelerating off the line, ok, stop light. We live in a small town (population around 35,000) where there are not many Porsche cars. The reason my wife hates it is due to all the attention my Macan gets. I get people ask me about it all the time. Lolol I have owned Corvettes, MB, Acura, Lexus and others but nothing compares to my Macan S. If you used to enjoy driving but have lost interest or it has become boring, I suggest to buy one of these. You will enjoy driving all over again! Just Do It! You will not regret it!

Top Trim Audi Q5

2025 Porsche Macan 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

Regrettably got the base model and after 1 month and roughly 1,000 miles, I'm highly disappointed. Traded a 2023 BMW X1 for this and although it's better in some ways, it falls short on expectations of what a Porsche should be. Got the base engine with very light options (premium package and tow hitch) which ended up at nearly $70k after destination. Starting off with the pros for this car: High quality cabin with excellent materials and build quality Quiet and comfortable ride on both highways and broken pavement Seats are very comfortable with lots of ways to adjust and decent bolstering Responsive handling and excellent steering feel Excellent braking ability and brake pedal feel Porsche badge (yes it matters) Now for the long list of cons: Gutless engine, not something you expect from Porsche. Mind that this is the same engine on the current VW Golf GTI and Audi Q5. While it works for those cars, it just isn't enough to be in a Porsche. Great for city driving, but will need some planning for certain highway maneuvers. The programing for the transmission is also highly questionable. Power for this engine comes in at 2.5k RPM and really shines above 3k RPM. However, the transmission likes to short shift (even in sport mode) and prefers to keep the car between 1.5k - 2.5k RPM. The result is a constant race to the highest gear unless you just floor it in which then it will give a about half a second delay before proceeding to downshift. Horrible, just plain horrible MPG. If driving normally I got 16 city / 23 highway. But if driven like a Porsche, I got 14 city / 20 highway. Backup camera is a joke. The quality is just slightly better than a 7 year old Honda CR-V. Picture quality is very grainy and is completely useless even in light rain. Interior storage is nonexistent. Center console can store 2, maybe 3 kids juice boxes. Door pockets can't fit a big water bottle (not even felt lined). No sunglasses holder or coin tray. Car is showing it's age. The current gas Macan is based on the previous generation Audi Q5 from 2009-2017. Porsche did a good job massaging the old Audi, but the competition has long since caught up. This is still largely the same car that was launched in 2015, 10 years ago. Top down 360 surround view camera isn't standard even at $70k whereas it can be had in it's German competition for around $55k. Overall, this is an excellent luxury car, it's just not a very good Porsche. Please do yourself a favor and avoid the base engine. The base model is essentially an Audi Q5 - Porsche trim, but with a $10k additional upcharge for the just badge (not counting the upgraded mechanics and interior). Would recommend getting a used S for the same price. I am planning to trade this in for a CPO Macan EV in 3 years once the values for those plummet.
