2022 Porsche Macan: The ULTIMATE Winter Road Test, Review & Walkaround 

Couldn't agree more!

Thanks everyone!!

Love to hear that. Always trying to make sure the viewer has fun and learns something new. Cheers from Sudbury Ontario!

Thanks-- I was very happy to shoot it in the snow, never a bad time in a Macan on winters.

So have I 12 month wait how about you?

Hey there So I've driven a lot of AWD porsches in the snow (even a lot of it), and honestly, I almost never use it other than to try it out. It's so good in its 'auto' setting that there's rarely need for the 'off-road' mode unless you're in something pretty extreme / risky / challenging / or a driver who really really wants to limit wheelspin and drive cautiously. I don't think most 'Porsche driver' types will find need to turn 'offroad' on in the snow, more throttle solves most issues! It's a lovely setup indeed Happy motoring (PS, comments above based on good winter tires being mounted!)

Cool! With your hands at 9 and 3 on the wheel, the paddle shifters would just behind the tips of your fingers. You can shift into drive and just drive, like a regular automatic, using the paddle shifters is completely optional. There's no situation in which you are required to use them. If you want to, you can use them to override the transmission choices and shift gears when you like. You click the right paddle to shift up, for instance from second to third year. You use the left paddle to shift down, 4th tho 3rd for instance. The gear shifts are very responsive and happen very quickly. Paddle shifting is a great way to experience full control over the transmission. Some people use them for sporty driving, others may use them for added control on snow and ice. Mostly they're a novelty, but a very entertaining one you'll probably enjoy. You can click away at them and see how the vehicle responds anytime you like. It's impossible to select the wrong gear, and you can't hurt the engine, it would just deny the shift. Best advice is to just get out and play with it. Have fun, Porsche has this transmission nailed, it's a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Nope, was in SPORT mode for most of the driving you saw here

Thanks, you'll have to stay tuned for that as I haven't driven it yet. Looking forward to it however!

No, no vibration if I recall.

Gentian in this case.

come to Sudbury where I live, any time between October and May-- we have plenty to look at!

How new of a C43? I've always found the AMG stuff to ride HARD on our roads. The Macan is much softer-- sporty, but without the crashing. I found it a really ideal balance as an enthusiastic driver who does a lot of Highway and backroads, ie, comfort matters Hope that helps!

Thank you!

This is on dedicated winters, not sure which type though! Highly highly recommend a good set. Machine is a beast with the grip.

@@JustinPritchardthanks for the info. I ordered a porsche winter tire set and excited to mount it and drive the car on snow soon

Two years later and you people are still whining about masks, make it make sense???

The mask was a job requirement at the time when a camera operator on board the vehicle. How do people not realize this, and how are people still whining about masks?

@@JustinPritchard Oh I see, commenting in a public forum is "whining".

I’ve had BMWs, Lexus, bunch of jeeps and other cars and this is the MOST fun and fast car I’ve ever owned. You must drive something really special to make such a stupid comment like that.

@@simonofmonroe7793 i've had BMWs, Audi's and Porshces. if you think this is the most fun and fast car, you've only driven shit boxes 🤣 are you captain 328i? driving around in your 4 bangers? also Lexus's aren't engaging to drive. they are reliable and more luxurious that toyota's "this is the fastest car i've ever driven" yea go drive a V8 or a I6 with a good turbo, sit down poor boy

@@10essee10titanssounds like you only drive cars in a straight line

@@10essee10titans I drive the base model and can assure you that I am not poor. 👍👍👍

@@Cityofemeralds then you just like to drive like normal traffic which is fine 👍👍 please be sure to stay in the right lane

This video is months old. The mask was a job requirement when in car with camera operator. How are you people *still* whining about masks???

​@@JustinPritchard Thank you Justin, and I agree. Solo or not, why is the mask such a big deal to some of these people? Oh nooooo, you're being a decent human being! Well shucks!
