Macan test drive..........
Got a chance to drive my son's 2016 Macan S today. Man, is that thing loaded with switches and buttons! Didn't have much room to play, but did kick it once for a few seconds. It is quite a hauler! It is black with a black leather interior. I may have to get one for myself!

We bought a 2017 Macan for my wife's daily driver. It is a great vehicle. It handles much like a 911. Amazing for a car that heavy.

I like them more then a pepper car but CR gave them poor reliability marks but oddly high in customer loyalty.

BTW... a great sport ute is also the MB GLA, for a lot less money and the GLA AMG 45 runs rings around the Macan Turbo. Last edited by adias; 04-29-2017 at 07:42 PM.. |

How does the hype of balance actually translate to the real world? Are people actually scrubbing tires and oversteering with their Macan? I doubt it. When does balance matter one bit? People aren't even driving their 911 like that. The rear weight bias is a complete moot point in the real world. Please spare me the snow/rain excuse, which applies to 1% of 911 driving, at best.
I love when these YouTube auto channel windbags talk about "balance" while driving straight down some local neighborhood road. Right.

The Macan..............
No, not a 911. But it is a very nice, well equipped modern road burner. His car has the twin turbo V6 and all wheel drive. Come heavy rain, ice or snow, I would rather be in the Macan! Unlike some, I don't have any heartburn about Porsche building SUVs or the Panamera as long as income helps keep the sports cars alive! If taking a long trip, I would prefer the Macan over my SC coupe. Just bombing around the county or doing a DE day at the track, the 911 wins hands down!
