Doug gives a balanced and informative review without drooling or climaxing which is comforting.
Love the buttons ! I prefer this rather than searching in menu's in a screen (which is unsafe whilst driving)
Good review - no fluff, loads of detail: not my kind of car, but very happy to enjoy a cuppa while watching (not to mention, didn't fall for the 'clickbait' trap of calling it a 2020 - so two thumbs up for that! 😉). Top job.
I love Doug's videos. Don't stop. I always click and like when he gives reviews.

Very well done review. Thank You.
Is the bulge by the transmission tunnel a bigger or smaller issue on cars with left-side steering? I mean, the pedals are mirrored in the well, so what difference if any does that make? Anybody here driven a Macan with the steering wheel and pedals on the left side?
I just bought one! Love it! Good presentation.
No storage in cabin? Actually there are small drop open storage spaces built into the front of both front seat cushions. Great for change, tissues etc.
The stop-start gets MUCH smoother after 6 months or so. The Turbo is TRANSFORMATIONAL... a near super car in performance and handling. Feels like 50% more power than the S. If you have 4 people of average height in the car the room is fine in back. But it really is a car mainly for 2 people and luggage. Too small for 4 large people on a long trip with luggage. Too small for the HUGE prams and kids car seats these days, which seem to have 2x in size since I had mine decades ago! Perfect for say 3 year olds and older though. 14 way seats are the way to go. Side bolsters on the 18 way seats make it hard to get up an over them and into the seat if one is short of leg! Surprised Porsche reliability is so bad in UK. Consumer Reports and others in the USA rate most models above average. Maybe it’s the diesels?
The buttons are a super cool way to go. The black gloss is a pain in the arse
Beautiful car. Great review!
Super polished review👍🏾
Is it known whether Porsche are likely to release the GTS version?
That Mamba Green is more captivating than the car itself.
Top tip, DO NOT SPECIFY A SUNROOF. The sunroof will inevitably leak. I had one that proved impossible to fix. The interior of the car was ruined so they bought it off me.
Thanks good review
Doug’s the kind of guy.... Oops wrong video 🙊
No diesel due to the exhaust emissions law suit at Audi?
I love this green model
Great review expensive but very good reliable car
Love the Macan
Dougs a video machine atm
I just purchased one of these 2019 models last week, love it but was surprised there is no easy way to deal with radio presents....

@@AS-up3rf Pretty crappy right now; but I read in the owners manual that the first 3000km is a break in period and it states that fuel consumption could be higher than normal. I have not hit the 3000 km yet, but I getting about 13/14 liters per 100km right now with an average speed of 60km/h - Google says thats 30.5 to 33MPG if you need that conversation. I am hoping it improves after the break in they talk about in the owners manual.

@@AS-up3rf Really nice... way better than I expected. I was struggling with what to buy and spent time at BMW and almost even got a Etron - but the Macan took me 10 min and I was signing papers! no regrets, very nice to drive and fun in the corners! Lots of little surprises, like if you hit the gas hard, it seems to go into some sort of "sport" mode, and holds your shifts longer so you can hit the ideal RPM band. So much not documented, but really nice features to have.... I REALLY like this Macan S, with the new interior to me its near perfect....

No one really seems to compare with the X3. That seems like a more likely comparison at this price point than a Cupra Ateca
Macan or Mercedes GLC coupe?? please advice

Noora Tawaa: GLA45. Two weeks into ownership. I'm permanently smiling. But then I don’t have kids - another reason to be smiling all the way to the bank. It’s got just as much space in the boot and the back as my outgoing A4 Avant.
f-pace? whats that got to do with anything.
Sports sports utility vehicle, nice name
I bet whoever designed the rear middle armrest never actually used it, those cup holders are going to be exactly where you want to rest your arm and a real lack of anywhere to put your phone in the front console is pretty rubbish for a modern vehicle.
Should have a diesel option imo
Why that green color

"Enormous performance " are you joking, it's worse than the outgoing Macan
please dont look at camera while driving - not safe
This colour is punch in pompose face of black/white coloured limousine drivers....
3:10 nothing worse than a bulge against your left leg to detract from the serious driving experience the Macan has to offer.

Love the Macan but it’s getting long in the tooth, it’s an old Q5 under that new skin.
Good luck with that in 2021 watch sales drop by 90% These products planners are in dreamland We are nowhere near electrification!

Until they can get 500 miles on a charge, and 1 hour recharge, I won't be buying one. Even an hour is too long, when I can fill up with gas in 5 minutes and be on my way again.

"Best sports SUV you can buy." Really? Perhaps you should look at the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Faster, better handling, better looking. Better car.

@@lildoc @lildoc The consonant letter "C" follows by the vowel "A, E, I, O" is pronounced as Cha, Che, Chi, Cho. Porsche named the Cayenne's little brother after the Indonesian Tiger - Macan - Ma Chan. Not Ma Khan . Ma Khan sounds like women private i.e. Mike Hunt. There's no way that a world-class car mfr like Porsche would name its car that sounds like women private
If you truly want 'fun to drive' then get a Mini Cooper and save yourself a boatload of money.

Doug, please tell all your colleague and other auto journalists, and start pronouncing the word Macan correctly. The Porche baby SUV was named after the Asian Javanese Tiger, Macan from the Island of Java. The correct pronunciation is Machan, not Makhan. The "CA" sounds like Cha...cha...cha...not....khan like Aga Khan. Macan is not a German, nor English etc. word, but it's Sanskrit derived word.

I want to tell the entire world to stop calling it ma-khan. Macan is Indonesian name of tiger and it’s pronounced ma-chan with ch like Che Guevara. Not ma-khan with kha. Because if you say so, this means eat. Very different.
Love the shape of these but geez the interior looks cheaper then a Kia

Porsche is nearly as reliable as an X5 .. which judging by my friends X5, and my brothers Porsche, means it's pretty unreliable. I assume this reliability test negated anything from Lexus!
