I think most of people here have not driven a Macan 3.

I think most of people here have not driven a Macan 3.6 Turbo engine with 400+ HP. This car is amazing you can't compare this one with other lower Macan models. this is the one to have.. We owned several Porsches including Cayennes turboS. This is a compact daily driving machine with Lot's of power and is fully loaded. The turbos 3.6 cost over $100K after taxes for a reason , Please don't compare this model with other low built Porsches for middle class, this is a High End Vehicle for a reason ...maybe the same as compare the Boxer with a 911 Turbo S.

Wouldn't but a used porsche again

Heavy heavy heavy service fees if you take to dealership. We bought a 2016 salvage Title for 25k and have put roughly 35-40k into it over 3 years. Transfer case went out. Brakes are a 4-5k, transmission acted up porsche Said a new mechantronics unit "may" fix. $6,700 and we said no thanks. Lease a new one, keep it under milage, then run when lease is up. We may go bmw next and cross our fingers. This porsche has been an absolute money pit, yet wife loves it and only wants porsche from now on. Of course, when all the expenses land on me right

Only for midgets

This was a great car in the beginning. When the warranty expired, it was a total pit. Definitely not for a family. The back passengers need to be leg less to ride or a car seat for kids under 5. Step up to the bigger brother for more room if you want to stay with Porsche. I went to a Jeep trackhawk and been zero issues

Both a fun and practical vehicle

This vehicle provided an impressive driving experience while being a practical solution to my daily needs. Routine maintenance costs were certainly on the high side, but reliability was equally high.

Worst Porsche I ever had

Great concept for a small SUV. Was great for the first 50k. Then the electrical issues began. Very poor engineering and construction. This car was manufactured with a planned obsolescence.

Best car I've ever owned.

Fabspeed Exhaust sounds amazing!! Beautiful Camel Interior. I love this vehicle and am sad to say goodbye. I am purchasing a larger vehicle for the family. Never had any problems and have all maintenance documentation. From the moment you start her up, the elegance of the Turbo-Charged engine with Fabspeed Exhaust is undeniable and demands attention from all that hears.

By far a good blend of performance and utility

I owned my Macan S since new. The fun factor is there in the drive and how it handles like a smaller car like a Mini Cooper. It saved me with the automatic braking that comes with automatic cruise control. One thing to keep watch is the transfer case. Google Macan S transfer case and you will see. I got my transfer case changed under warranty. You will notice a slippage on start up. It is not normal, it is the symptom of the transfer case going. I do my own oil changes and is quite easy to do. Red 14 way seats do come at a premium. Overall it is a fun car to own and drive.

Stunner

Words don't do justice to the joy I get from seeing, sitting and driving this sports car like SUV. I thought a Cayenne Turbo drove well, then I tried this. very reliable, shifts lightning fast, mileage is not the best. It handles excellent, stops on a dime. 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. Not much else can beat it. The resale is 53.3%, while a 4 Runner is 58%. Look for the loaded models, that come with air suspension, 18 way seats, pano roof, sport exhaust, and Sports Plus. I suggest you pick one up ASAP.
