Best SUV ON the market!

Best performance and fun to drive. This is second Macan I have owned and my fourth Porsche. I am interested in buying a 911.

Owned them all, this is the best of all.

From looks to performance, I've enjoyed the whole experience. I've been driving 64 years, & this is the most complete experience to date. It's spacious and gives acceleration when asked for. Let me add that my wife loves it, so , that's a plus.

Next car we'll own?

My first car was a Porsche 365 back in 1958 purchased new for about $4000! Enjoyed it very much even taking cross country trip with two young boys in back seat. Have been waiting for the right time for a Porsche product while biding our time with 5 BMWs tip now. This maybe the time!

Day One

After 24 hours love it. The apple interface takes some time to get used to but once set up is awesome. The car in sport or sport plus mode is a blast.

Everything you want from a Porsche

My last Porsche was a 96 911 targa and I loved it but as time went by and the family grew so went the 911. Recently bought the Macan and wow has Porsche stepped up to the plate in terms of high tech in every way from handling to electronics. This car begs to be driven and even though it has enough room for 4 possibly 5 it handles like a real sports car. The power is amazing and the transmission shifts so fast and precise, I will never go back to a manual. Very happy with the car, build quality is superb, visibility is perfect and handling is...well, lets say it's what the badge implies, pure Porsche.

Schnooky is most fun, enjoyable and comfortable.

Loved my Mercedes E 350 cabriolet, until I test drove and then bought my new Palladium Metallic Macan. Some complain the trunk area is too small, but for me it is perfect. Some complain that the back seats do not have enough leg room, but for me, I'm driving it in front, and my friends in the back have never complained. What more can I say - just love it!

Awesome SUV!!!

Love the user friendly interior and the exterior looks great. The style is 10 years ahead of other manufacturers. It drives well and you are in total control. The Macan is built with care and is very well balanced.

The Ultimate Macan

I test drove all competitors products in this segment, i.e., mid size luxury SUV. I was looking for an SUV that had style and practicality. However, my first priority was driving dynamics, handling, fun to drive aspect, and the overall feeling you get when you are in the vehicle. Without a doubt, compared to the competition, no SUV came close to the Porsche Macan. Furthermore, in my opinion, the base Macan with the turbo 2 litre engine was the best of the Macan lineup. Yes the Macan S and the Macan GTS are much more powerful vehicles with 0 to 60 times like a that of a muscle car. But where other than a race track would anyone use that power. More importantly, the base Macan feels lighter and more responsive in corners and is a better solution for driving fun in the real world and within the confines of speed limits. Nevertheless, driving a base Macan through canyons and twisty road allows for a perfect blend of power and handling offered by the 2 litre turbo. It never runs out of power and it handles better than the other Macans. So I recommend saving the money and adding more fun.

Beautiful Car

For the money, the Macan delivers the performance you expect from a more expensive car. It's a beautiful ride!
