Porsche Macan S Review - My favorite things about it

How I think the Macan S looks, how it drives, and how practical it is as a daily driver. Let me know your thoughts as well with a comment!

Unlike the Tesla Panoramic roofs the Macan’s sunroof actually opens the entire front half which is almost the size of a Fiat 500 convertible.

Thanks for your great review! I had a 2016 Macan S for 89, 000 miles. I bought an extended 100, 000 mile warranty. When I traded it in for a new Macan, I got about 40% of the original price. The Transfer Case on the older models will need to be replaced, but Porsche extended the warranty on that item. I used my S as a daily driver and crossed the U.S. twice each year to travel to our summer home. I did not drive the car to its capabilities (probably never got it over 4000 RPM's, as I am a lawful driver), so the 2024 Base model was fine for me. Indeed, after I attended Porsche driving school and took a hot lap with a professional driver, I sold my third 911 because I was only using about 20% of the car's capability. Net, net, the Macan S was the best car I have owned in my 72 years on this earth! I think I will miss the six cylinder for acceleration, but the jury is still out on that! Thanks again for your great review!

1st class review. No stupid Jokes, and real insight to the vehicle, the big guys are put to shame by your to the point comprehensive overview. Like the GTI comparison, as we all know GTI's are the best do all car ever made!

I just bought a Mayan S, 2016 with the entire premium package. It was a steal of a deal snd I love it!

Nice video. Great points and spot on. Bought a Macan S 6 months ago and love it. Only piece I differ on is the wheel size. The 20” look fantastic. Don’t notice any poor ride quality. Still decent sidewall. These cars are amazing to drive. My splurge option was the sport exhaust. Worth every penny. Sounds amazing.

Musts: sport tires, Cobb tune, flat6 intakes, diverter valves. Braaap!

Great review! Thanks for help me to decide my next car.

I made a bold purchase and ordered a 2017 Macan turbo with over 100k miles on the clock, it should arrive in 3 weeks, no warranty so I am now guessing what would leak first :D As I heard the 3.6 liter engine is the original Porsche engine all other trims are Audi engines. If you have any thoughts I would appreciate

I bought a new S in May 19. Great SUV but I’d recommend going for the Air Suspension. On PASM even in comfort it’s a bumpy ride on poor surfaces. 3.0 engine a little rough but swift. PDK fast shifts but 1st to 2nd shift can take too long in Sport mode. That aside steering handling and build quality are very very good.

We bought a Macan S after looking and driving almost all SUV models. Nothing compares to quality and build. Except the Cayenne

I love the Mecan and I love the new one even more!

[keithmelvin]

Just watched a video by Top Automotive Inc and narrator discusses chronic oil leaks on the Macan. Have you come across similar info?
