' 2015 Porsche Macan Turbo ' Test Drive & Review - TheGetawayer

Can the new Macan Turbo convince a diehard 911-fan ? I road test Porsche's 400hp / 165mph Compact SUV in southwestern germany to see if it can rightfully be called a sportscar ( by Porsche that is ) ...

I created this video and I own all rights to all content in the video !

What a beautifully shot video! I am going to have to copy some of your style! Really really nicely done. None of us are shocked that you like the Macan of course : )

[czaterski]

The best review of Macan I've seen on youtube. Music, pictures, description are really great. It should be the benchmark for others.

Awesome review Guido! I missed watching your reviews! You made a lot of really great points about the Macan. I absolutely love it and it's my favorite SUV. Like you might have guessed from Beth's instagram comment, we'd love to own one of these whenever we need more room in the future. I was very impressed with even the regular Macan S when I did the ride along with a race driver this past summer. I think Porsche hit a homerun with this car and the huge sales figures definitely make sense. Looking forward to many more awesome reviews from you this year Guido! Stay warm! lol

cool review Guido.  Happy to see you still out in the winter doing review...LOL.. the sound of the Macan launch control sounds so mean.... Pissed off even.  Thanks for this. Still not feeling the design but for anyone who want Porsche performance in a small package of an SUV, here goes!

Hey Guido I really enjoyed your review of the Macan Turbo! Great to see it being driven aggressively during the winter season. I must say you are starting 2015 off right and you have evolved your video craft nicely. From a production stand point this is the best video of yours I have viewed. Keep it up as it is great to have the enthusiast point of view on these terrific cars….Best Regards!

I love the professionalism and quality of your reviews. This one helped me a lot - I am waiting on delivery of a 2016 Macan S. It will be my first Porsche. Thanks!! Very enjoyable to watch.

Excellent review. Excellent car. I notice the quality of these videos getting better and better with a noticeable increase in picture quality.

Your review of the Macan really hits the nail on the head! Absolutely correct when you said this car is for those who want to drive a Porsche as a daily driver during the week while leaving their 911 as a fun weekend car. I love my 911s and I would never trade it for anything else but the Macan gives me what I need during the week for a daily driver which handles rough urban roads, jaunts to the grocery store and extra cargo space my 911s was not designed for. I have the luxury of owning both cars which I highly recommend for those who would rather drive their sports car all the time but need something more practical around town that still drives like only a Porsche can.

one of the best car reviewers on youtube..keep up the good work.

Glad your still active and making videos. I've seen all the Porsche videos. Been waiting for your macan review and enjoyed it. Going to have to show my wife and see what she thinks about the car. Thanks!

Great review.

I, like you, am not an SUV fan..in fact I've always hated them as a die hard hot hatch/sports car fan.
However, having to cover some roads every winter that flood & get muddy I felt pushed down the 4x4 route.
I was steering the wife to a Golf R...but she thought it would be too low for the flooded roads. I reluctantly took a test drive in a Macan S..Wow!..I was (and still am) shocked at how tied down but agile it felt. To cut a long wait/story short...it arrives tomorrow!
It's a real Swiss Army Knife of a car.

[TonyEarlsTrinityLawns]

Thanks for the great review ... I imagine you are somewhere in the Shwartz Wald? with those nice twisty roads.
I'm please you had no negative comments about the "sports seats" in the Macan. Phew .. that is a relief.
I cant wait for a Turbo .. I will make do with a Macan S Diesel.
I could tell you were really excited about it.
Tuss!

Sehr Gut Review! You captured the essence of what the Macan is and its niche to appeal to non-SUV drivers like me. I have driven  sportwagon Audis, BMWs etc until now-I test drove the Macan a few weeks ago here in Colorado where I live so I want the AWD bad weather capabilities with a Porsche that can take my bikes, dogs and still is a good commuter. The 911 is parked for the winter. This Macan is on order - I have to wait 4-5months for delivery,   Love your reviews- I always look forward to seeing and listening to you!! Keep up the great work.

Can't wait to see the review tomorrow, bit late to see the review now for a schoolboy of 17...
Late happy new year too, hope it will be a fantastic year full of Porsche reviews, hoping on a Cayman GTS, Cayman GT4 (if it's coming) and een 991 GTS (4) (Cabriolet) review!

[LordLauderdale]

Your video reviews are just getting better and better, keep them coming.

[Erich]

Your reviews are getting better and better and BETTER! Keep up the good work Guido.

[Rockport]

For me the Macan ticks all the right boxes, its the right Porsche for new customers. I think it will cannibalize the Cayenne a bit. The 911 is of course everybodys dream but this a much more real-world-Porsche. I even see the Diesel version driven around as company cars here in germany.
Nice review, I should have found your channel earlier, now I have to watch all older ones in a row... :)

[Lerxst]

Really looking forward to comparison between the Turbo and GTS, and which you'll recommend. Thanks for posting such great videos.

Porsche can make any car they wish, as long as they still produce the 911 and have factory racing teams. Every car Porsche makes is extremely competitive and fun to drive anyway so it isn't that big of a deal.

Wieder tolles Review vom Macan Turbo - super gemacht. Mich fasziniert vor allem bei 0.34 wie radikal die Launch Control im Macan arbeitet, eben typisch Porsche. 
Weiter so, Guido!
