2020 Porsche Macan Turbo Review // Too Fast, Too Serious 

Its great to seem them together again, it breaks my heart seeing couples apart.

I've never really thought about the center of gravity of tomato sauce, but you're absolutely right about it 😆

James: 6ft away--- 1 james away Thomas: he's actually 5ft 10

I think Throttle House needs to do a review of a current (2023-2024) Macan GTS. It will completely change their perspective on this little hot hatch from Porsche. Its a riot!

Great work guys, thanks. I bought a Macan S earlier this year. I'm one of those strange people that wants a very sporty SUV! Personally I feel like I need an SUV - I live in Sydney, Australia. My driveway and also in-laws, friends, often are steep and awkward and normal cars bottom out. Speed bumps (in parks, at the beach) get bigger as more people drive SUVs and utes. And the roads are a bit rubbish off the highway. Basically we live in a city where - in the suburbs - an SUV is a lot easier to live with. I know it's subjective, but I'm never going back to a car as my daily drive. My kids have their own cars, the back seats are very rarely used, and with the seats down the boot is actually quite big, great for all our stuff for a weekend away with the missus. I optioned Air suspension, (PASM comes standard here), the torque vector rear diff, sports chrono and a bunch of other 'driving' options and I love it. Air suspension drops it down a noticeable bit lower in Sports Plus and I feel like it makes as close as an suv is going to get to a hatchback for ripping through corners on back roads (which I do regularly btw, every few days I sneak off for a rip!). I tried all the alternative SUVs (X3M40i, GLC43, SQ5 etc) and they are amazing in a straight line but (again subjective I know) besides that I don't think they are a patch on the Macan, if you care about the 'fun drive' experience rather than a cruiser. I would love a Cayman but (and yes, I know, the Macan is not a sports car) but I feel like I get 80% of the fun in the Macan and it's a great daily driver too. I would never buy the Turbo, the S is plenty fast for me unless I wanted to take it to a track. In which case I'd get the Cayman or similar as my weekender. Keep up the great work, love the reviews.

These intros are the kind of hard hitting journalism that we need and deserve right now...

Throttle house is my fav Car review channel

Thank you Thomas and James for this... I've really missed you guys being able to drive the cars and review them. I've enjoyed watching your quarantine videos but it feels great to see you guys out there together and back at it. I'm so looking forward to the future uploads. #ThrottleHouse4Life #Return2Form

9:47 If you look closely, you can see the car's "eyes" move

Fun fact: the word 'macan' does mean tiger in Indonesian. The 'ma' is pronounced like it is in 'mark' and the 'c' is pronounced like how 'ch' is in 'channel'. Kind of like 'matcha' minus the 't' and with an 'n' added. If you keep the hard c sound, you get the Indonesian word for 'eat'.

Just got my Throttle House notification, life is good. I love these guys!

OMFG THEY'RE BACK!!!

Throttle House is the only car channel I watch from start to end. I don’t even skip the intro just for that *slap* 😂

Man, it's great to see you guys out in the wild🔥

Great video guys, thank you we’ve missed you!!! Can’t wait to see you guys do more videos with the actual cars in person!!!

Just in case noone else says it: I really like the new camera perspective from inside the car looking at the road while driving. It's a great addition to your already great camera work.

“Tomato sauce has a lower center of gravity” 😂

I rented a Macan Turbo though Turo last year, and it is probably the best vehicle I've ever driven. There are cars I've driven that are more fun, but it's still entertaining. There are cars I've driven that handle better, but the Macan is really sharp in Sport Plus. There are nicer interior spaces in cars, but the Macan has really great build quality and comfy seats. It simply does everything well, while not being totally numb or boring to drive. It's actually very expensive though... that's the thing that would keep me away from the Turbo trim level, even if I am having a hard time imagining the Macan any other way.

Quite possibly my favorite channel for car reviews. You two never disappoint!

Let’s go! Love the honesty in your reviews! Awesome video!

Great to see a new review after so long.

The undisputed, best channel/partners in crime on RU-vid. Much love, from South Africa 🔥

The next time someone says brunch, I will only think of James explanation

Yay, welcome back!!

Glad you guys are back at it. Great review

Im so glad you guys are out again driving cars!

100% the most entertaining automotive channel on RU-vid. Savagegeese is a close second

It's nice to see TH review back!!!

Love these intros. Never stop

I strongly believe that this channel receives the fastest likes compared to all other automotive YT content. So glad to see outside of quarantine content :)

Love the brunch analogy....brilliant!

the intro was amazing guys keep it up!!!!

Missed you guys!!!! You are the best! Cheers from Quebec

You’re looking fit Thomas! Good work!

Another great review... 👍🏽

Love the intros, and great content

You guys rock, I love ur vids !

Honesty, that is what I love about you, guys. And yeah, the goofy clips are somewhat entertaining. Keep it up!

Glad to see some new vids!!

Another review from Throttle House, and this time it's even more amazing! Another one next few days please...

The fact that those two are together is one of the only indicators that quarantine is over. Gives me hope

lovely to see you boys back !

PORSHE REVIEW Th has came thru as always 👍🏻

The initial sketch 😂

The way Thomas says "2020" is so soothing.

Favorite youtubers by far. Thanks guys

From the first vid, every vid they make is the best. It has that.... spice and more. They are funny, and really in my opinion one of the best, if not the best car community youtubers

I love your videos and I'd really like to see more track test and reviews for more porsche brand cars

Love your intros! 👍😂

I have a 2016 macan turbo and I absolutely love it! Im 6'5 and its perfect for me.

So happy to see you guys be able to be back at it

I loved the brunch metaphor! 8-)

Beautiful colour 😍

This has to be the best thing that’s happened in months!! Been waiting for a normal video again! Thank you guys for your hard work!!

Even before starting to watch i liked the video

Another stellar review guys! If I want zoom zoom, I'm buying a sports car/sedan, not an SUV; period. However, I love those trick headlights.

So glad to see you guys back in cars. I really appreciate the effort in your videos over the past couple months, but man this is where it’s at.

Your intros are the best in the industry 😂

The intro sketch made me laugh so much

"Engineered the Audi out of it". God Bless Porsche.

Seeing them in social distance mode is actually how I am with my friends. One step forth one step back. Like dancing at a distance.

Love to see a local car channel. Here in Ontario. Most are from the US.

so interesting video! i love turbo!

This channels has the best intros on youtube

I have a 17 Macan GTS as my daily and it blows me away everytime I get behind the wheel - ticks a LOT of boxes!

My father picked up a previous gen Macan SE as his daily to replace a grand cherokee. He loves the size for around town and finds it fairly fun to take on weekend trips if he needs more space then his cayman.

Yay my favourite car. I will watch this as soon as I finish cooking. Brb

lmao, the seat buttons "look like a mario level". great seeing an actual car review on youtube again!

The fact that don’t have 1mill subs blows my mind. Keep up the work guys 🤍

Reunited, and it feels so good.

this show is so good

Wow it looks sweet

Wow that's a nice car

Love your vids! Keep up the good work. Also you guys should review the Dodge Viper acr

We had two sons, aged about 6 and 4 when the Cayenne came out, and I thought, why in the world would someone want to buy a Porsche SUV?! Then the idea started to grow on me. We’ve owned 4-5 SUVs now, but never a Porsche. As I’ve gotten older and the kids are mostly independent, I’m more drawn to the Macan, just as a practical but still fun daily driver. Now I’d rather have the Macan than the larger Cayenne. I’ll still never buy either one, but it’s funny how tastes change as we get older.

i love you guys !!! :):):)

I like the video while watching the ad...I don't even have to watch the video to know that I like it 😉

Reunited and it feels so right

These guys are the funniest car guys on RU-vid 😂

Welcome back guys

“🤚🏼-🤚🏼🤚🏼” 😂😂 incredible

My grandmother bought a Macan and I've driven it a bit and she asked me what I thought. And I said not to mark it down as a bad thing but it just drives like a bigger more powerful golf... I've had multiple golfs and it just reminded me of how they drive🤷‍♂️

Pretty car!

That new Ontario plate looks good on any cars

Y’alls acting skills are getting good!!!!

Just bought a Macan S D. Picking it up Saturday :)

A fast little porsche suv for the diminutive set. Nice!

The panel gap between the hood/front fender is insane. I can't unsee it.

Ahhh yes, James TheStradman

I have mine configured with the air suspension and its very worth it

''Tomato sauce has as lower center of gravity'''..!! Haaahaa good one!!

nice vid

Turbocharge everything!

Kings of Intros!! [ 𝙏𝙪𝙧𝙗𝙤 ]

Nice....

Great review, and prophetic in some ways since Porsche have gotten rid of the Macan Turbo.

ive actually never really been this early on throttle house

The note the car plays when you open the door, is the first note of “Talkin to Myself” by Chiddy Bang.

Entertaining video as usual! Gee that panel gap on the front fender is just atrocious.

I missed you guys!!!! I felt that launch both times though lol. I've driven the new Macan Turbo and X3 M and the Macan is hands down better, haven't had the chance to drive the Stelvio Quadrifoglio though I heard it's the only real competition for this..
