Always a great video, thanks Nick

The red Macan looks amazing!!! That color wakes the cars looks.

You have to agree Macan is the most sporty 4 seater Porsche especially in that price range. Easily the best driving SUV in the market as well... The high speed stability of Macan is unbelievable... For me with 2 kids having Macan is closest I can get to a sports car feel on road trips...

Youv'e found a reliable Porsche at last ? Quick - sell it !!

FYI I have a 2018 macan gts. With carplay enabled and waze open in the background, it still has notifications of police/road hazards. For instance if you're on the spotify screen or google maps screen, waze notifications still play in the back

Well. That was quick. Keep it for a year and keep switching so Porsche can't sell you more lemons

Seems to be his new job ! Porsche Dealer of New Zealand and the Eastcoast

Hey Nick, thanks for making the comparison video.

The air suspension makes all the difference for spirited driving. My Macan stays totally flat on twisy roads.

Great points about next track with apple car play. Also can't use next track to go through favorites only, which is frustrating

Thanks for clearing up sport mode. I thought it lowered the Macan, ejected the rear seats, changed glass roof to cloth, and moved the engine just behind the driver. Or is that only in the GTS.

Love my Macan, interested to know what options you are ditching on your new one.

Your videos got me obsessed with classical music

Thanks for the video. Did you do a video of options on your coming Macan and what options you miss and dislikes with your current?

Color can certainly impact the Macan. My wife’s 2017 S is in “Mahogany”. Much less pedestrian than many of the other more standard color options. As always thanks for another enjoyable vlog episode. 👍🏻

In NYC area stay away from 21” wheels. The 20” even with air suspension can be stiff over small sharp bumps but is generally good with air suspension.

Hi! Yes that is a good idea. I got the Turbo and 20” were standard. When I was thinking about 19” a number of people in the Porsche world said that the Turbo with the 19” wheel is not enough tire. The issue is rear tire width circa 40mm narrower at rear on the 19”s so they would not provide enough stick an positive throttle. I was not able to drive a Turbo with the 19”s to test the hypothesis. I think the 20”s are OK on the bad NYC roads but would love to have that extra margin of sidewall the 19”s provide. Has anyone on the thread run a Macan Turbo with 19” with all season or summer tires?

Hi Nick, 2020 Macan will have USB-C chargers. The smart phone compartment will have wireless charging too. PSCB brakes are offered too. Thanks for the videos.

Hey Nick, I like your open and honest discussions about Porsche cars you have owned and cars in general. I think you are a motor enthusiast like many of us out there. I just bought a 2019 Panamera 4E hybrid. Here's what I propose - a first among Porsche owners globally - why dont you fly over to Norway (Stavanger) next summer and we can drive around in my Porsche while sometime later I can visit you and you can show me around where you live in your Porsche. Each pays for flights and the host, well hosts with food and accommodation for a few reasonable amount of time. Each gets to discover and explore a new country, another Porsche and meet another Porsche owner. And then another. And then another. A truly first global Porsche owner's club.

Good to see you back in the saddle Nick! In 2017 I tested the PP vs the Base Macan and actually found the Base to be the most relaxing in town. The PP was just too high strung. This year I tested the new 2019 Base and found it a bit wheezy on the country roads, but it might have something to do with coming from a Panamera ST Turbo.. But why a Macan? Aren’t you a single dude now in need of something more potent like a 911 or Cayman?

My 2017 macan S DOES run waze in the background while listening to Spotify. I pick a destination, then hit stop then go to my music and it alerts me of police, etc. It's so nice. My apple car play totally lets me go in and out it works fantastic. Just have to be plugged in to work but that's ok.

Nick - in regards your comment that the previous version of the PCM did not allow apps like Waze to run I’m the background, is this not an evolution of CarPlay itself and also allowing Waze to be part of the apps? In minute 12:48 do we see your home address :-0? The little arrow to the right of the CarPlay screen is to indicate there is a second page of apps and not expand, me thinks.

What colour are you going for in your new Macan?

good lookin' out Nick, if i was in the market for one, I'd hit you up. does your dealer also run similar discounts on outgoing model year for caymans/911s? also, you the sound effect in the transition into the 4 banger macan made it seamless

Hey! I am looking into leasing your car, lol I found it on the Porsche of Fairfield website. I live on Long Island. My question is, is the car loud enough without the sport exhaust? I love a noisy car with gerbils. Should I find a base Macan with this option? Or does having an S model include the nice sound. My name is Alex. Please lmk. Thanks

I live in a city that is an hour from the nearest Porsche and Audi dealers yet I see way more Q5’s here than Macan’s. They share the same drivetrain yet reports say that the Q5 has a roomier rear seat. The Q5 also has more leather inside.

Congrats on the next Macan Nick! I happen to like my Cayenne S in Quartzite Grey Metallic but hey to each his own as they say. I think with the limited number of color choices on the new cayenne that seemed to be the best choice other than plain black to me? White cars a are kinda girlie if you ask me but whatever. Also Cayenne is bigger and bright colors like Lava Orange seemed a bit over the top to me anyway! Another terrific video and keep pissing off those GTS guys! Cheers.

Should I get 2020 Macan or wait for the 2022 model?

Miami blue....Miami blue!!!!

I was thinking you should buy a 997 GT3 or C2s for a sports car.

So, if you're trading this in the very near future, and this is currently your only car: Is Porsche allowing you use of this vehicle until your new Macan arrives (presumably a custom order from Leipzig)? Or are you getting another loaner in the interim? Genuinely curious how dealers manage this.

What do you think of a Porsche Cayenne coupe compared to Macan?

Excellent vid Nick, maybe a merging of BMW and Porsche in car entertainment system would meet all your needs 😄

Fully agree about needing color on the Macan. After driving the four cylinder I think you have to go with the V6. Way too buzzy and basic feeling.

Any chance you are doing a test drive of the new Bentley Continental GT V8? Been getting a lot of emails since they landed.

Nick really likes winter

Nick, Fairfield has a black '09 911 S that looks really nice. You should add it, along with a new Macan. I am thinking if you do not want it, I might!

Hey Nick, waiting your comment video on Taycan configurator :)

Now for the Honda Odyssey. Just do not get the all black interior.

They are nice but too slow. Ive gotten a few as lenders and they dont move out enough.

as to American car colors, you forgot to mention silver. (I agree with you - my A5 is Scuba Blue with brown top)

Sad to see it go Nick. I have a 2017 Macan S Diesel in Volcano Grey here in the UK and it’s a stunning daily car and wonderful for the motorway. I prefer the old model rear lights to the silly new rear light bar. To any Porsche fan who hasn’t tried a Macan you need to give it a go. So luxurious and comfortable

I agree with you about color but in the end didn’t care enough and ended up with 2017 CPO black-on-black. I just don’t care about color as much as you do. Thanks for your help with your dealer but I went with my local Greenwich dealer. It is a brilliant luxury car. Cheers!

You should have gotton the Turbo. The additional power is transformational. Still too heavy too high to feel a sportscar in corners. More like a GOOD sports sedan. Gives some 911 feel via the staggered wheels and incredible rear wheel stickiness.

Porsche Daddy got money to burn!

2:13 for many cars today, the colour pallette is limited to black, white, silver, some type of grey metallic, and one shade of blue. It's depressing. In the 1980s you could buy an Oldsmobile in a myriad of colours many having 2 or 3 shade variants, with pinstripe, two tone paint, and Landau roof options. It was fantastic.

Interesting the assignable steering wheel button (diamond button) will not advance the track when using the Apple Car Play music app in your 2019 Macan. The button in my 2018 Macan works perfectly with Apple Car Play. I noticed the difference when I had a 2019 loaner from the dealer. The assignable button also works fine with Apple Car Play music in my 2019 911. Guess it was a PCM change, or omission, by Porsche. (Incidentally my 2018 Macan did not come with the Apple Car Play option but I was able to retrofit it to my car with a software upgrade.)

Haha! I didn't think that colour would last with you.

Seems like I see some of those Connecticut drivers in California lately .

As an Audi Q5 owner in which the Macan is based on. I know what you mean. It is an SUV that works best when driven in a relaxed manner and pushed at 30-50%. Once you get it above that level, You'll quickly start to think about a sporty sedan like a BMW 3 series or Porsche sports car. I am not sure a Macan S will be able to fix your cravings for a sports car though. You may end up getting a real sports car in the end.

All GTS's Nick! Not just the Macan.
