Thanks, Thomas, for another great Porsche review. Personally, I have test driven both the Macan S & GTS. Although both share the same engine, the GTS is tuned more for performance as you get a really fun small SUV to drive. You notice this difference when you have driven both. The GTS package (interior & exterior ) with the green stitching looks sensational & a pleasure to sit in, priced at around $16,000 AUD. Adding the panoramic glass roof is a nice look as well. Here in Australia, the GTS is the Macan to order & costs around $1000 AUD for each service for the first 5 years. You can also buy an extended warranty after 3 years. Thanks again for the upload. Happy motoring.

Thanks Thomas, yet another great video !

Best daily driver ever

Amazing review Thomas. Loved the part where your entering the corner at around 219 kmhr. Very impressive handling.

It would also be useful to make a full review of the basic Macan (the 2.0 4-cylinder 265hp). Why don't you plan to do a su B review/test drive of the basic Macan? Thank you a lot.

Looks great! Let’s see how this will perform

Reason why I love the macan so much is the extraordinary value for money (it costs as much as a full-optional Velar D300!). You have a perfect and balanced blend of performance, agility, utility and comfort. Bigger SUVs miss the fun and agility part. This has everything you need.

Hi Thomas, between Macan GTS vs Pamamera GTS Sports Tourismo, which one would you choose? Which one is better driving, more agile and fun?

I love the interior trim corresponding to the body colour on Porsches.

Hi Thomas what you recommend out of the bmw x6 m50i or the new Porcshe Macan S ?

It's how I would specifically mine. Maybe yellow interior if I had CXX money, but then again we don't get PCCB yellow calipers I believe

Completely disagree. The GTS is tuned much better than S.. it's a very special machine! the S is good and base they are all excellent, but the GTS has the sauce!

Why does that sound so much better than a 911? If they can make the Macan sound that aggressive why not the 911? I know one is a flat 6 and the Macan a V6 but the 911 is so much quieter.

I sold my Macan Turbo for a BEV 3 months ago. I would not have bought the facelifted GTS. I prefer the 2 characters of the Turbo fast when you want it, quiet and comfortable when not. I’m not a fan of the centre console and plastic trim which shouts look at me. Turbo had a different buyer from the GTS and will be missed. I have already put a deposit down on the Macan EV so will have to put up with haptic capacitive switches everywhere unfortunately.

You can eliminate all the plastic with options so idk about that objection

I guess you either have a completely keyless entry with an ignition button or a classic entry with the car key in the ignition. That turn thingy sucks.

Can’t understand why Thomas seems to be whining so much about the price of the Macan. Perhaps it isn’t worth the money? In full-optional spec, lots of premium diesel sedans and SUVs will equal the price of the Macan GTS. That says it all. The price is indeed very interesting imo.

Such a nice car. Porsche nailed it with this one! Of course the Cayman is the one to go if you want a classic sports car for purists (or an old 911, not the new one, I know some will hate me for that statement :-). But if you want something that does it all: comfy, sporty, luxurious and also great for long roadtrips with the family … I believe the Macan S is the sweet spot - just perhaps add the air suspension and there you go!

Nice👌💪👍

Why don't people just get the S and get a tune

I was grappling with this. But my local Porsche dealer will sell for straight MSRP with no markup. My BMW dealership will not go less than MSRP. So the delta between the two was $10k. I went with the GTS. The M3 was awesome, but it doesn’t drive as comfortable as the GTS and it won’t depreciate as much in value. They’re both great cars.

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. Please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oISTpdiFnMSsnKw.html In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which exact body part you would be murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pp-epaOmoZTFaKg.html Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p21ou7qDZ5W7hKQ.html Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer.

And Microfiber leads to Microplastic .... also the vegan alternatives have sometimes severe disadvantages. Genetically engineered soy, avocados that fly around the world, etc. It's very difficult for consumers to assess the total impact of a product on the entire environment (climate, water, animals, people). In the end, with a rapidly growing population, now above 7 billion, the global economy simply cannot be sustainable. As a side note, according to a friend that works at BMW, the most expensive leather available as an exclusive custom trim, is made from whale penis. Probably not merely a side product?
