Good with caveats
Bought 2023 Macan T. I traded in my aging 911 for it. I did not buy another 911 because they have become too big and expensive. The Macan T is a fun car to drive if you are actively trying to drive it. The back seats are tight. The PCM is frequently confounding or crashes and won’t play any media unless you stop the car, turn it off then open the door close the door and restart it. The fit and finish is excellent. The upgraded seats are good. I can’t activate the around view monitor unless I put it into reverse. The dealer wants 300.00 to connect the my Porsche app on iPhone to the car. Porsche corporate is helpful and has normal humans that answer the phone. The PDK is fun and the exhaust has some fun subtle sounding pops. It’s like a refined hot hatch car but not really a great highway car. The base stereo is plenty good enough. Styling is top notch. Adaptive cruise works but needs supervision while using. The rear wiper appears cheap and flimsy. Should have been mounted from the top of the rear glass. The guages in the day are too dark not lit up and hard to see. The back up camera has poor resolution and has a strange perspective making it less useful. It’s a fun, clever designed expensive car with tech flaws that you have to overlook to enjoy the car. If you buy a slightly used one from a Porsche dealer you can get your warranty close to 6 years. Service is expensive probably to pay for giving you a loaner.

regret
Just a not good experience and a poor value. The sunroof visor isn't blackout, you can't close the back hatch from the driver door button, 360 camera activation button is buried in a confusing head unit, when the park assist camera does come on and it starts beeping you're too close to something, it doesn't show you where the problem is, you have to hold the memory seat button the entire time the seat is adjusting, the sun visor doesn't pull out to make it longer, tiny apple car play screen, 3 distinct and loud rattles, AC vent part broke at 1500 miles, disappointing dealer experience, very expensive oil changes. Need I say more? I regret my decision to buy the Macan S. Oh yes it does handle fantastic and a $250 pedal commander solve the anemic engine but there is nothing else good about this vehicle. No more Porsche cars for me.

PCM Still Deficient
The Porsche Communications Management (PCM) system is a huge disappointment. Many, many issues from voice commands to telephone integration. My Porsche account required new pairing codes and again shows the weakness in general with Porsche electronics.
