What do you guys think of Porsche Macans?

[Kewbrah]

It calls to me hard, despite the now olden day tech and it basically being an 8 year old design.

[KilaByte]

I see a few near me but it's mostly women driving, I'd probably go for the Cayenne

What’s with the misc’s obsession with crossover SUVs? Ruining the automotive industry.

My girlfriends dad has one cause he's old and couldn't get in and out of a car anymore easily so he went with a macan. I don't know the trims well but it's one of the higher ones I believe.

It's a fun car, it's quick, it's pretty nice inside. I've driven it a few times.

It felt pretty forgettable tho. I didn't really feel the excitement of "oh **** I'm in a porsche". Didn't feel very different then my gfs audi q5

[Kewbrah]

Thanks for the responses.

Thanks. Yeah I feel like it has to be extra special to justify some of the quirks

Feeling kinda over putting muddy dogs on the back seats and living in terror of potholes on the road

Both of those are driven by mostly women in my area lol

[DrFeeIGood]

Get the cayenne coupe hnnnggggg

[RobParks2M]

Now you'll fit in with the other Karen's at yoga!

[Retoaded]

I have a cayenne gts and that is about as tight a cockpit (though I love it) as I want. Have driven a couple Macans. Fun handling but pretty tight in the drivers seat. A 911 feels roomier (srs).

[SouthDakotaBrah]

Macan is a good all-around vehicle, but the biggest downside is the type of person who buys it

It's an inexpensive Porsche that attracts hairdressers, yoga instructors, stay-at-home karens, etc. who want to look cute and show off their cool Porsche. There's not much other reason to want the Macan other than it being a Porsche, and by buying one you will immediately be lumped in with the rest of the karens from yoga class

People who drive Macans strike me as tryhards (srs) as if the only reason for choosing their car was to receive attention from others. Similar car to the CLA250

I almost bought one and looked into them for 3 months, my opinion is they look EXTREMELY OUTdated,

The inside is as boring as sand, there is nothing to it, it’s ugly on the outside, just as in the inside

Performance wise along with the Porsche name is only thing keeping it going.

The maintenance on them is a nightmare, you will regret if it breaks down $ wise, and they ALWAYS have mechanical issues while same time cost a ton of money to maintain



I’ve owned over 20 cars,

Mercedes, bmw, dodge, Ford, jeep, list goes on. But I’ve yet been able to pull the trigger on a Porsche




I bought the x4m competition package, if you like the macan get this and thank me later, much much better quality and practical on maintaining yet still classy

[Kewbrah]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Yeah just wild stepping into a recent model car with a CD player and a key. that you turn etc.

Had another look on the weekend and the back seat is an issue. I sometimes have to drive teenage kids around and if you are over 5'10 like them your head is literally touching the roof.

[JIA]

Make sure you get one with a factory warranty. I know someone with one with numerous issues including leaking oil onto his driveway.

[dannyg1217]

I had one as a loaner from the dealership. I'd go with a gts or turbo if possible. You'll get a lot more performance out of those. It was a good car, I prefer the cayenne. The higher trims have excellent performance

[Hypernation]

Don’t be a puss.

Buy a Jeep.

Where I live only chicks drive Jeeps.

[AlBHappy]

Jeeps and Macan's are estrogen vehicles

[blueberryboy]

Aren't they the cheapeat porsche out?

Not bad, id drive 1

[PTzFree]

Thought they were cool when they first came out. Saw one in person and thought they were the most boring luxury SUV I'd ever seen. Could have passed as a Nissan Rogue.

Wranglers are alpha brah (srs)

Macan is one of the least alpha vehicles money can buy, a used Camry is far more alpha (100% srs)

doesn't change the fact that 90% wranglers are driven by young women, not a bad thing because eventually it leads to more lightly used wranglers for sale that have never seen a day off-road

Still you are looking at $60k minimum for a new, on the lot "stripper".

[greenleaf]

The S is the "sweet spot" for Macan.

Cayenne no PDK, Tiptronic only. No thx jeff.

[littlemissy]

It depends on what you want / need it for. Are you looking at brand new? The old ones look... outdated & old. & you gotta go for the S. I was looking at them back in march sometime when I was looking to replace my daily. I needed space to put crates in the back & move dogs (I volunteer for a local rescue) & I needed something that was capable of towing my boat so the Macan was out.

I then looked at the Cayennes but after picking the specs I wanted I didn't think it was worth the $ esp since their tech feels so outdated so I ultimately went with an X5. Really hard to find a company that tops bmw's infotainment.

Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Porsche groupie but I think only with their sports cars. I've been stalking BAT for their GT4's.

^This. Get one with the taillight bar or go home.

The thing I hate about them is that front fender gap. Some of the colors pop though. What's your budget? There's a ton of crossovers/SUVs in this space for just about anything you're looking for. If you're going to go foreign, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio would likely have the same maintenance costs and issues, which is likely a lot, with that would be options for a ton more power and they look a lot better. Jaguar makes a nice looking F-Pace, honestly probably the best looking crossover with full options. Then there's the Audi Q8, BMW X3 or X5, Acura RDX and MDX, Lexus NX300 or NX450 or NX450h, Genesis GV60, Volvo G60. Almost all of those are likely better than the Macan, and I'd personally consider all of them over the Macan.

Jaguar F-Pace

[KidGogeta]

I've got a macan s in dark blue with the multispoke wheels for the wife, and its super nice vehicle. Fit and finish is much better than lots of competitors and its a much better drivers vehicle. The only con is that its a bit tight inside, but since its only the two of us I don't mind, plus its usually the vehicle we take out to dinners and functions since my truck is just a work truck. Also one of the biggest reasons was resale value, the macan holds its value a lot better than lots of other suvs

^^^ Only other vehicles I would consider is the Q8, X3/x5 the rest of the those do not compare to the performance and/or fit of the porsche. F-Pace interior quality is horrible

Really depends on what you want to do with the truck OP

[miscbrah44]

wouldnt drive it if i paid but if someone gave me one for free ide run it to the gym

[SouthDakotaBrah]

BMW X3 or X5 with the 40i engine > Macan in every way IMO, and you won't look like a soyboy either
