Thanks for your great review! I had a 2016 Macan S for 89,000 miles. I bought an extended 100,000 mile warranty. When I traded it in for a new Macan, I got about 40% of the original price. The Transfer Case on the older models will need to be replaced, but Porsche extended the warranty on that item. I used my S as a daily driver and crossed the U.S. twice each year to travel to our summer home. I did not drive the car to its capabilities (probably never got it over 4000 RPM's, as I am a lawful driver), so the 2024 Base model was fine for me. Indeed, after I attended Porsche driving school and took a hot lap with a professional driver, I sold my third 911 because I was only using about 20% of the car's capability. Net, net, the Macan S was the best car I have owned in my 72 years on this earth! I think I will miss the six cylinder for acceleration, but the jury is still out on that! Thanks again for your great review!

Nice video. Great points and spot on. Bought a Macan S 6 months ago and love it. Only piece I differ on is the wheel size. The 20” look fantastic. Don’t notice any poor ride quality. Still decent sidewall. These cars are amazing to drive. My splurge option was the sport exhaust. Worth every penny. Sounds amazing.

What year was this Macan?

I bought a new S in May 19. Great SUV but I’d recommend going for the Air Suspension. On PASM even in comfort it’s a bumpy ride on poor surfaces. 3.0 engine a little rough but swift. PDK fast shifts but 1st to 2nd shift can take too long in Sport mode. That aside steering handling and build quality are very very good.

However steering, grip and handling well behind the Macan. No regrets. I feel that with Air Suspension the Macan would move even further ahead. The next Gen Electric Macan might be worth serious consideration......

Hey Keith I haven’t heard that in any other reviews I watched or from a few owners I know. But maybe it’s just something they’ve never brought up. Looking at a CPO Macan anyway so that would hopefully be covered.

I made a bold purchase and ordered a 2017 Macan turbo with over 100k miles on the clock, it should arrive in 3 weeks, no warranty so I am now guessing what would leak first :D As I heard the 3.6 liter engine is the original Porsche engine all other trims are Audi engines. If you have any thoughts I would appreciate

How close is a GTI to the Macan base? Do you think the GTI an under priced Macan, and the Macan an over priced GTI? The two have the same EA888 engine though tuned differently. That said, do you think the current issues surrounding the EA888 such as the water pump, leaky upper timing chain cover, turbo rattle and carbon deposit are present in the Macan base? Is it really a larger Golf R with a fancy badge? I love using my current GTI with DSG as a daily driver. When researching the Macan, I found many similarities such as door panel switches, middle consol buttons, entertainment module, light switches, back seat controls, and trunk design. Did you notice a huge difference between the two?

We bought a Macan S after looking and driving almost all SUV models. Nothing compares to quality and build. Except the Cayenne

and if it breaks down out of warranty it's "POOR-ER" :D

Porsche doesn't stand behind the quality of their vehicles. Transfer case on my 2015 Macan S has failed twice now in only 27,000 miles. This is a known issue which caused Porsche to extend their warranty to 7 ys. Their "improved" transfer case lasted only 2 years 2 months and 9,000 miles. I am out of warranty by 6 weeks and Porsche turns their back on problem and sticks me for $3,200 repair. Don't buy a Porsche w/o extended warranty for entire length of time you expect to own it. #1 rated warranty company - Endurance - won't even sell coverage on Macan. That should tell Porsche and all potential buyers something. Customer experience is far from an expected premium car brand experience.
