  • First Porsche Macan S- IN LOVE! - 2017 Porsche Macan
    By -

    This is my first SUV; previous owner of Audi A5 and a few BMW 3-series cars. Wanted something sporty but higher off the ground. Really happy thus far with purchase. In addition, I purchased tire warranty and 5-year maintenance warranty. It is peace of mind for me. Interesting enough, I saw a nail in my tire just today so the warranty will come in handy inside of my first month of ownership.

  • Great driver but poor technology - 2017 Porsche Macan
    By -

    Moved up from Audi S6 to Macan S. Great driver very good acceleration, handling and braking. However its at least 5 years behind Audi for technology. Actually discovered after picking up the vehicle - has no voice control. Apple car play requires phone to be ard wired to special plug. Very little control over car features. If you want a great driving SUV this is top of the list - but be warned a Chevy Cruze actually is more technical advanced for connectivity.

  • Porsche misses big - 2017 Porsche Macan
    By -

    This car is full of mechanical problems. To include leaking fuel line, and exhaust brackets that easily brake causing horrendous noise. Well below even average quality. The roadside (yes you will need it!!) service is poor. The "concierge" service is a joke. They will tell you where you can go rent a car and they might pay for it after your $90,000 crappy car breaks down for the second time in 20k miles. Porsche has become a watered down brand with poor quality and even worse service! AVOID!!

  • wow! update "double wow" 2017 Macan S - 2017 Porsche Macan
    By -

    after driving bmws for the last 25 years, decided to try a Macan S. What a great decision I made....smile.......... Powerful and my Macan S 2017 is a sports car acting machine outdoing most of the bmws I have owned..........with the possible exception of my 3 series M convertible. It is a truly great combination of practicality and driving excitement. This is a Porsche, no doubt about it, from the sound of the engine to going around 35mph corners at 60...........its a Porsche! The ride and noise in the cabin are muted and comfortable, bumps are a little harsh, but the other attributes of the vehicle are well worth the small aggravation of the semi stiff ride. After all this is not a Lexus RX. Cabin is done very well with great materials and is big enough for me, 63", 260lbs. I am not sure what I would do to improve this vehicle, not anything I can come up with right now. 5 stars for sure...........................yippee!!!! UPDATE: 6mo owning the vehicle, 7000 miles. double down on all statements previous. nothing about the vehicle that I can complain about. it is really a blast to drive, so much in fact I find myself taking the long way to almost everywhere I go and going for joyrides very often. I have not had my first ticket yet as I am a careful driver, but the car is so responsive it is hard to drive the speed limits. Whatever speed you are going seems to slow. Get one or test drive one, until you do, you can not possibly know what I know. It is driving heaven. UPDATE, one year later.......... all review items remain at same high levels. I find myself driving places I dont need to go just to be driving. This is truly a great vehicle and it seems priced correctly for the quality and image that you get driving a Porsche. I am very pleased with this vehicle and it will be hard to drive anything else after this experience. update: 18 months owned, 18k miles. no further comments, all of my previous comments stand as written. Great Vehicle.

  • Fun - Safety - sure-footed on the road - Love-it! - 2017 Porsche Macan
    By -

    if you just want a good SUV, get the new Audi Q5. But - if you want a drivers car - get a Macan. Yes - 2 very similar cars on the outside - though on the Macan, the 4-whhel drive gives preference to the REAR WHEELS, and the Audi to the Front wheels. The Audi is built in Mexico with great German engineering, but the Macan is build in Germany. The only thing that really upsets me is that both the Speedometer and Digital Speedometer are NOT close to being accurate. At cars 75mph, real speed is 72mph, even at 30mph, real speed is only 28. So if you know this (and that my dealers said this is normal and within specs) - whats the problem - well - if the speedo is off by 10% as an example - when you hit 50,000 miles in 4-years and your warrantee is no longer any good - BUT you have only traveled 38,000 miles - what to do? Oh yes - from what I discovered, the "$830 Porsche Connect" is about totally worthless! Otherwise, thoroughly enjoying my Macan.

  • 2 months in and still love it!! - 2017 Porsche Macan
    By -

    I came out of a newer BMW convertible. Loved that car but needed something with just a bit more practicality. I looked at these on a whim and fell in love with the styling both inside and out. As soon as my wife sat in it she said....I want this car. Opted for the base with the premium plus package and 20" wheels plus a couple other options. Bought it for $52k net. I feel that its actually a great value for what you get and there isnt another compact crossover that can touch it in the driving dynamics department. Handles like a 911. Average mid 20s on the highway on premium fuel. No complaints so far. The back seat could be a bit bigger, but it suits my 12 year old just fine.

  • Love and hate this car... - 2017 Porsche Macan
    By -

    What I love about this Macan: Comfort, popular, good looks, quiet, fun to drive, good build quality. What I hate about this Macan: Maintenance is really expensive. In 40K miles I have spent $2250 versus Audi Q5 $1100 which I owned before. Audis brakes need replacement every 25K. The dealer also was very stubborn on taking anything off the MSRP. Would I repeat this purchase? Probably not, you can save a few bucks buying the maintenance contract ahead which they didnt even offer me.
