Audi take note. Buttons & control knobs work not haptic screens that you can't use when you get sun glare on them. It is dangerous to use when driving as you have to take your eyes off the road when using it.

Great review as usual :)

Really nice review. I absolutely adore all the buttons in my 2021 Turbo. Your exhaust note sounds a little more sporty than mine outside the gear change. The 18 way seats are incredible and like nothing I've experienced before. Your GTS gives me brake envy. I love my PSCB but they're still not PCCB. Thanks for the video.

I've had 2 of these. This is my winter car. They kick ass and the body and interior kick ass.

Miami blue... like it. i'm sure I say every time but very jealous and thanks for creating and sharing your experience.

Finally! Now waiting for the 718 GTS 4.0 review

I was not a fan of the macan untill I got in a loaner car. It was just a base but wow I was impressed with how it drove. For a vehicle of it's size.. it's amazing. I can't imagine how awesome top of the range models are

The vehicle you are driving in this video that you show "all these buttons down here" early on, does have the Adaptive Air Suspension. It’s that button with the side view of the car with the arrow pointing down underneath it. I’m fairly certain all Macan GTS variants come with the Adaptive Air Suspension as standard. But a special version that’s 15mm lower than you are able to get on any other trim level. Maybe you can opt out of the Air setup, and specify steel springs. But it would be odd to have that on a press vehicle I would think.

Porsche has traditionally done more with less in terms of being able to set a fast time on a track or road course. 375hp does seem low for a vehicle of this size and weight (and in the current market) but, just like Porsche cars of the past, keeping the revs up and really using the suspension and handling capabilities to their fullest will really hustle this Macan down the road. It's a recipe that Porsche has been working on for a very long time and they are very nearly perfect at it.

I love the GTS packaging across all Porsche cars.

In the US PASM w/air is standard. Additionally, the video footage you showed while it may not be of the car you were driving was equipped with the PASM w/Air. Was this an overlook Henry or does the Macan GTS in the UK not come standard with Air?

Great review. Porsche have done a cracking job with the Macan, it does drive surprisingly almost stunningly well for a big car. As a Cayman S owner for 14 years now if I could justify the extra £££ (substantial 😕) I'd swap it and the daily driver Merc for one

Love the sound of a PDK shifting

Awesome spec, my only issue with the Macan is it’s truncated rear seat leg room. It’s pretty cramped for taller passengers.

You have got to stop doing all this Porsche GTS. I love them all. Good reviews.

I need the thermally and noise insulated glass in the #Porsche 718. The turbo S for the Macao really doesn’t costs much more than the GTS so which do I get?

My car coming in july this year. Can t wait

Hands down the best SUV I've ever driven.

Was this a press day for the media? Suddenly there are a host of video reviews of the GTS and they’re all in Portugal. What does it sound like at start up?

I’ve noticed that pano roofs are not featured on GTS press drives is for the ultimate driving experience?

8 way? Those are the 18 way seats aren’t they? Love my current Macan GTS. Not a fan of the single light strip at the back. I am sure it will eventually grow on me.

Love my Macan GTS 2020!

is something with the video quality?

Thanks for the video, always appreciated. Would i be wrong/annoying by suggesting it would be worth mentioning the reason for the engine size (namely the chinese market + tax reasons)

In my limited experience as a Porsche owner, noise was a problem: I wanted a touring sporty car. I wanted to listen to good music on long drives over unchallenging high speed motorways. Having never chased horsepower (being content with 'adequate'), I was concentrated on reasonable ride and superior road holding on the twisty bits.

did they put the opf in the NARs?

Love the car, but also the place... Sintra, Portugal!

Sweet! Now I can get to the grocery store faster than all those Civics out there.

Ive had the 718 GTS. Fkn loved that car... only thing is that i liked my Macan Gts more. The new one looks sick. Gotta have the air suspension on Macan though. Must.

Couldn't agree more, loads of buttons is cooooooool :-)

Those green rims.... wow

I don't have favourite band. I did have a favourite back in the day called S Club 7 🤣

I don't understand why you would make the rear wiper assembly that much more complicated by putting the button for the hatch at the base of where the wiper arm attaches. We've already figured this placement out. Put the button between the license plate lights where the overhang is just like every other sane manufacturer, or where the grab handle for the hatch is.

The current darling of the motoring journalist anti-SUV brigade is the Audi RS6 which actually has an unladen weight greater than the Macan. However, said scribblers are obsessed with the weight of SUV’s but not estate cars which not so many years ago were rather sniffly referred to as the wheels of choice for Antique Dealers and Travelling Salesmen. New GTS looks good but I’ll stick with my S Diesel and ride the torque.

i think another reason for the big difference in sound between this one and the 'old' one (which really does make a pretty wonderful sound) is that the old Porsche-developed 3.0 V6 T was a heavily oversquare design, in typical Porsche sports car fashion; probably also explained the powerband. this one, in contrast, is slightly undersquare, in pretty typical VW/Audi fashion. the upside of that is that all the reviews I've seen or read so far make it seem like this one really rips from down low - eager to drive it and see. in the Macan turbo, acceleration testing results are way ahead of Porsche's official numbers. And maybe it will sounds better if the US models come without the GPFs, anyway.

Is there a carfection shop? Need me some stickers/merch $$

Is Henry the only Host on this channel now? I could of sworn that i have seen other guys as Hosts in the past too?

Always an enjoyable video. Not a fan of this VW Tiguan SUV however. I'd take the Stelvio.

What I don't get is why the Taycan does use a touchscreen for basic controls unlike the rest of its lineup. Same as the VW ID, and the Mazda EV. For some reason, every automaker has decided that an EV needs touchscreens for anything. It makes no sense and it has to stop.

Love my macan gts!!

The Mamba Green GTS looks like an aftermarket makeover.

A perfect gift for my mom

It's weird how many manufacturers are going to a 3.0 turbo V6 as their "normal" engine, and a 2.9 turbo V6 as their performance engine. I guess we're in an age where turbo pressure can be controlled so well that displacement doesn't matter as much anymore; you can just push in more psi's.
