Great driver.

Drives better than expected. Very comfortable seating in the front seats. Not much room in the rear seats. Performance almost equal to the Boxster S it replaced, but much easier to get in and out of. (This becomes more of a factor each year that goes by.)

Great style and fast, otherwise terrible car

This car is insanely expensive maintain compared to cars in its class (I’ve had 2 range rovers before this). I have the S. It looks and sounds great, but the climate control is inconsistent, the Apple car play doesn’t work properly and simple things like the moon roof not closing after multiple attempts add up to make this car not worth the cost. Most recently I’ve had standing water in the back seat from a leaky moonroof. Luckily the dealership and more specifically the sales person that sold me the car went out of their way to make sure I had a loaner car on short notice and have dealt with the issue with zero hassle. It was all covered under warranty but it’s not what I want to deal with spending that much money on a car.

Excellent car! Love the way it drives!

It’s tight in the back, but I don’t have small children. Everything else is awesome! Love the controls right up at my right hand and love the heavy weight of the car. I feel safe!

Great drive

Ive owned two BMW 3 SERIES, 5 CORVETTE, my wife drove a 2000 C-5 20 years. I could not get her out of that car. The BMWs were hers also. My wife loves this Macan. We bought it used 48,000 company leased car. 10,000 later and first service since we bought the car 8 months ago. I have a 2012 Gran Sport, we dive the Macan for all road trip. It sporty, it fast and fun, it comfortable and room for wife shopping. We just got back from the hill s of Arkansas, man this car a blast. I'm 65 and I autocross a Corvette. I'm pressed..

Great car

Very sporty, still a Porsche underneath. Sporty and good for getting groceries and getting mulch at the garden center. Transfer case was replaced at 20,000 miles, no cost to us.

2017 Porsche Macan

Great value for the money! Love the style inside and out. Love the way the car performs on the road, you would think you are driving a sports car not an SUV.

Simply a Drivers SUV

Love the Macan! You get the utility of a small SUV with the absolute drivability of a Porsche. Holds the road like a small sports car. The 3.0L V6 in my model S has enough power to be crazy fun without getting me too many tickets... Although the 3.6L would be cool. The interior is very comfortable with amazing fit and finish. Leather is nice and soft. Back seats don't have a ton of room for adults, but I don't ride back there!! It is pricey to buy and to maintain, but it IS a Porsche. When I'm ready, I'll buy another one.

Most reliable and comfortable car I ever owned

This vehicle met all my needs including long distance drives, comforts and safety. My wife loved it a lot and she mostly used it for her work and commute. Its interior is also very comfy and has a very good sound system.
