I’ve always had hot hatches and switched to a Macan GTS 2020 last year for more space and think it’s a great all rounder. It’s not a sports car, but it’s comfie, quick, handles well and doesn’t depreciate. Enjoy your reviews Tim. Have a 991.2 GT3, would be good to see a review, you’d love it
We had a couple of these, because of the way the Porsche cars feel and drive. We wanted a practical car and this is the smallest model in the range. One diesel and one Turbo and both were amazing in different ways. (Both pre-face lift when the back lights were nicer) I agree about the pace. The weight blunts the feeling I guess. The Turbo was still 10seconds to 100mph though! Autobahn activities suit these so well! V-Max in both was SO planted and secure. The faster you go, the better they feel. The Turbo was a beast from 90-140mph. The sports seats (armchairs really) are the best for touring I’ve ever sat / slept in. More buttons than Cadbury though 🤓
I also have a Turbo pre-face lift and I think that it looks way more aggressive than the new one and I completely agree with the better looking taillights.
Excellent nonsense! I've just swapped my Porsche Cayman for an F-Type (did I ever mention that?), it makes you realise that Porsches are quite expensive and the Jaguar is really good value for money, but it's all relative, take my GR Yaris for example (did I ever mention that?) it is fully loaded for a bargain price! Off out on the "lash" now! By that I mean lashing my motorbike down in my van (I don't think I ever mentioned the motorbike before).
Leave high performance reviews to someone that have a clue. Linear accelleration on throttle actuation, no turbo lag so you don't get the head snap unless you press the accelerator more quickly. Shows you expected a Kia not a Porsche.
Porsche doesn't stand behind the quality of their vehicles. The ransfer case on my 2015 Macan S has failed twice now in only 27,000 miles. This is a known issue which caused Porsche to extend their warranty to 7 ys. Their "improved" transfer case lasted only 2 years 2 months and 9,000 miles. I am out of warranty by 6 weeks and Porsche turns their back on problem and sticks me for $3,200 repair. Don't buy a Porsche w/o extended warranty for entire length of time you expect to own it. #1 rated warranty company - Endurance - won't even sell coverage on Macan. That should tell Porsche and all potential buyers something. Customer experience is far from an expected premium car brand experience.
