2017 Porsche Macan S Review...Greatest USED SUV 

I'm looking to buy a Macan S 2018 with the premium plus package and a bunch of other add on. 12000km on it. For $50400. Is that a good price??

Hows the reliability so far?

Any reliability issues? Anything breaking down?

any chance you can follow up on the reliability and costs of ownership?

@@4ndrew-Elysium It's been decent but it's no Lexus. (My Lexus and Acura have literally had no problems for their entire lifetime). The only major problem I've encountered hasn't been a mechanical 'issue' per se, but I had to replace my radiator due to a large rock hitting it and causing a coolant leak. Parts + labor at an independent shop was about $1500 (in California) so it's certainly not cheap if something major goes south. Other than that, I've only paid for routine oil changes and maintenance costs at the normal service intervals. However, 3 other somewhat annoying items were covered by my CPO warranty in the first 2 years of ownership: 1. The window switch broke off (apparently a common problem) so I had to have the entire assembly replaced since they don't sell the individual switches, through luckily it was covered by CPO. 2. A mechanism in one of my headlights that levels the light when the car is turned on completely broke. Once again, they don't repair the headlight - they just replaced it. And 3. The seat cooler for the driver's side stopped working, and had to be fixed. These aren't really mechanical issues but pretty typical of German cars - at this point (a few years after I bought mine in 2020), I'd recommend getting a 2019 or later (after the minor facelift), and CPO if possible, though not necessary. I hear there are less of these little issues and it has a better infotainment system. Hope that helps!

Same question

Oh I appreciate that my friend, I'm just happy to have supporters like you, thank you!

I’m so humbled by that Barry thank you for your very kind words

Glad I could deliver my friend!

Thank you my friend!

Nice it’s a sick ride, just be sure to buy with a warranty or CPO from Porsche enjoy

@@unclebob4964 ​ @Uncle Bob49 I actually went to see another Macan S today opportunistically. It was a fully loaded (apart from Reverse Cam and Adaptive Cruise) 2014 with 60k miles. The guy was an enthusiast and the condition inside and out was absolutely unbelievable. However, the colours weren't my first choice. White on outside (not keen on this) and Red inside (not bad). The car drove amazing, the 18 way seats are so comfortable. The suspension just tackled all bumps at mid to higher speeds so impressively. However, here's the negatives that put me off. 1. The car is on the claustrophic side due to the high front console. The black headliner combined with sunroof (which is tinted and doesn't let much light in) and rear privacy glass (also tinted), means that the back of the car is very dark. The central tunnel is big and difficult to climb over. My girls love reading books in the car and they wouldn't be able to do this. The worst part is that the car wasn't specced with rear ventilation! So the thought of my kids being in a dark, cramp space with no air was a big turn off. The boot is on the small side for what we are used to. Aside from the amazing driving dynamics, it's not the most practical family car. Really has me looking at Cayennes now! I'll probably cancel the Friday appointment as I prefer more space to extreme driving dynamics. I'm sure the Cayenne will be plenty capable enough, especially as my wife will be driving it most of the time.

Yea my friend Macan is certainly a bit cramped. Cayenne would fit your needs much better especially a more loaded one with ventilated rear seats. Plug in hybrid variant would be nice to save on some fuel as well

@@aerotus888 I think you’re on the right track. I ordered my 2017 and was able to customize it a bit. ( and boy is THAT ever expensive !!! ) The missing options you mentioned would bother me too ! My other thought is the fact it is a “first year” Macan. That alone shouldn’t be a deal breaker…..that’s just MY hang-up. The Cayenne has been around for ever…..and roomier for the kids. At the end of the day, I do think you will be happier with the Cayenne……or a bit better optioned and newer Macan. Good hunting…..

I will see what I can do my friend, yea the 19 did get revised a lot more, closest I can offer you right now my friend is a 2019 Cayenne review I did which is in my pinned comment.

@@MeynMotorGroup Bet appreciate the reviews!

Damn really I thought we were oversaturated with reviews lol

Yea this was super nice for sure 👍

RR is another great suv very smooth experience just lacks the handling and trans of Porsche. Styling is def very subjective so I don't blame you

So beautiful and apparently looks even better in person.

D-B-A i saw the limited edition yellow lc500

Very sick car

Haha appreciate that guys, yea LC doesnt do itself justice on film has to be seen in person

Dude I was thinking the same thing

Agreed!

Yea the weight figure was all over from 3900-4400 depends on the spec and model yea this is not a vehicle one buys for fuel economy 😆

Yea Im sure this is highly coveted for sure, it is a nice prestigious Porsche afterall

@@MeynMotorGroup yes that´s right.

Id imagine some of the diesel variants would be the better option instead of the 2.0T petrol.

Diesel models we don't get in the states but I'm sure it is a torque monster

He’s showing and testing a 2017. What year is your Macan ?

Yea if anything most people don't like the front, I thought it looked clean af lol 😂

Exhaust Sports Auto Lol ain’t knockin other people’s opinion on it bro just my opinion 👍🏾👍🏾

For sure bro 💯

I agree... just put a 2021 Macan S configuration on order from the factory in Germany... and with the Spyder wheels and PASM+air suspension.. can't wait to get it in May!

Just bought this Macan. Spyder wheels are one of the first thing I'm getting.

First like always boss!

Exhaust Sports Auto Yea bro Happy Friday TGIF 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
