Doug gives a balanced and informative review without drooling or climaxing which is comforting.

Love the buttons ! I prefer this rather than searching in menu's in a screen (which is unsafe whilst driving)

The stop-start gets MUCH smoother after 6 months or so. The Turbo is TRANSFORMATIONAL... a near super car in performance and handling. Feels like 50% more power than the S. If you have 4 people of average height in the car the room is fine in back. But it really is a car mainly for 2 people and luggage. Too small for 4 large people on a long trip with luggage. Too small for the HUGE prams and kids car seats these days, which seem to have 2x in size since I had mine decades ago! Perfect for say 3 year olds and older though. 14 way seats are the way to go. Side bolsters on the 18 way seats make it hard to get up an over them and into the seat if one is short of leg! Surprised Porsche reliability is so bad in UK. Consumer Reports and others in the USA rate most models above average. Maybe it’s the diesels?

I just purchased one of these 2019 models last week, love it but was surprised there is no easy way to deal with radio presents....

Doug’s the kind of guy....



Oops wrong video 🙊

I love Doug's videos. Don't stop. I always click and like when he gives reviews.

The buttons are a super cool way to go. The black gloss is a pain in the arse

Good review - no fluff, loads of detail: not my kind of car, but very happy to enjoy a cuppa while watching (not to mention, didn't fall for the 'clickbait' trap of calling it a 2020 - so two thumbs up for that! 😉). Top job.

That Mamba Green is more captivating than the car itself.

[jeanbastarache]

I just bought one! Love it! Good presentation.

Top tip, DO NOT SPECIFY A SUNROOF. The sunroof will inevitably leak. I had one that proved impossible to fix. The interior of the car was ruined so they bought it off me.

No storage in cabin? Actually there are small drop open storage spaces built into the front of both front seat cushions. Great for change, tissues etc.

[melma]

Is the bulge by the transmission tunnel a bigger or smaller issue on cars with left-side steering? I mean, the pedals are mirrored in the well, so what difference if any does that make? Anybody here driven a Macan with the steering wheel and pedals on the left side?

[jonathanl]

No diesel due to the exhaust emissions law suit at Audi?

[charliemontero]

Great review expensive but very good reliable car

[gregbernini]

Good luck with that in 2021 watch sales drop by 90%
These products planners are in dreamland We are nowhere near electrification!

[brewnan]

Watching landscape(horizontal) I cant'n see the prices due to your logo. Every video is like that. Maybe you can position the prices above logo. Tqvm

[BFGUN]

Is it known whether Porsche are likely to release the GTS version?

[MaZEEZaM]

I bet whoever designed the rear middle armrest never actually used it, those cup holders are going to be exactly where you want to rest your arm and a real lack of anywhere to put your phone in the front console is pretty rubbish for a modern vehicle.

[MJHKing]

No one really seems to compare with the X3. That seems like a more likely comparison at this price point than a Cupra Ateca
