Is the 2022 Porsche Macan GTS the BEST new performance SUV to BUY? 

Joe - Had to watch this one! Love my Macan GTS. Your videos are the gold standard on RU-vid. Love your knowledge/ & enthusiasm of any car you review.

I got a Kia ad during this just after Joe said this one was optioned out at $104K - it's like RU-vid said "here, this is more your budget, chief." Sounds like you guys were out in this neck of the woods, hope you had a good time!

Great video! As much as I’d love to have a gts version, I am absolutely in love with my macan s which is agile and practical for my family of 3, one of the best cars I’ve ever owned!

What up Joe? I recently purchased a 2022 Honda CR-V thanks to your videos between a Toyota RAV4 or a Honda CR-V! I've been loving my new ride!

I love how each and every video you always first start it off by talking about the history of the brand ! Giving respect while creating that nostalgic feeling! Brilliant. Love from New York brother

Hello Joe, you know that you've worked hard in life when you're the #1 Apostle to the Luxury and to the performance cars and that is truely the sign of success. I dig the green on the outside and the red calipers it reminds me on green spaghetti and a cup of grape juice.

I Love my 22 GTS so much I watch every review ever made on it.

Glad to see you guys back on your regular format review

Yes!! You finally got it. Just ordered mine this last Tuesday. Just started the video can’t wait to see your take. Mine cam in just under 102k, but I’m thinking about getting the Burmester sound system added instead of the Bose. Got mine in Dolomite Silver with the Bordeaux red leather interior with walnut wood grain.

Amazing car review and those launches!! My favourite thing about the Macan GTS are the tungsten carbide brakes which don’t seem to get dirty with brake dust or rust. Makes washing car a breeze. I believe this may be Porsche developed to go between normal steel and carbon ceramic. Just awesome

Raiti's rides... best in the business of detail review..... Watching from NIGERIA 🇳🇬🇳🇬

Joe absolutely great review and Lori great camera work! You've been on the road a lot Raiti and I'm sure it's really cool to always see around the country. I'm excited for this Live Q and A and to get big updates for next year. Also Joe don't forget the 2022 Blooper Reel. Loved last year's! On throttle!

❤excellent review you two! Great suv

Love how much fun you're having! Our Macan GTS (in this same colour) is sitting at port to be ship loaded any day now. Also did red calipers to add a splash of color and controversy to an already spicy looking ride. FYI - Macan GTS comes standard with PSCB (Porsche Surface Coated Brakes). Thanks for the entertaining video and for launching the car so many times... it's so properly quick it almost looks like video is at 2X speed 🤪

My jaw dropped at the moment you went from exhaust note to acceleration. Looked like a video game😮😮😮

Hi Joe…..You nailed this suv. I have a smoke grey one optioned heavily. I might note that you can have ventilated seats if they are not alcantara. Also I think you said 3.4 sec 0 to 60. I have recorded 3.8, but in true Porsche fashion they rate it low 4s. Drives like a sport sedan. Unless your tracking the car…..one will never miss the lower ride hight. Love mine and enjoy the utility and daily in the vehicle. Drive mine in sport mode always and manual shift for a great connected drive. Awesome review . Thanks Lori….nice camera work as always.

Loved my Macan Turbo. Miss that car so much. Handled like a sports car.

And suv that drives like a Porsche will always be a nice option to buy.

Green means go, Porsche means fast. Love it!

I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👏 real true 👍

SHOUTOUT TO RAITI FOR COVERING THIS BEAST. Performance SUV's are really rising up nowadays!

I think the red brembo brake calipers blend in perfect the green good review

I love the color on it. I have grown to like these a lot more and I’m glad I have cause they are honestly nice.

"To the door panels." That's my favorite part of each video.

Awesome stuff Joe! Love this Macan! Not in love with 104k price. I’d probably go Macan S. That would be plenty for me. Thanks for bringing it to us.

The people comparing a BMW X3 or any other crossover to this has probably never owned or driven a Porsche. The others are nice but it’s not a Porsche. The GTS was a little steep for us as a weekend car so we opted for the S in papaya. Also, I read comments that mention this a lot but when you buy Porsche, you’re not buying it for the moonroof or head up display or any other trivial option… you’re buying the drive handling & performance

I have a 2023 Macan GTS and love it! It’s the perfect daily driver. Like another reviewer stated … it’s got a Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde personality!

I like the way you only compared one other car Joe, the X3 M Competition, I think you’re right as well. I personally think the infotainment screens & practicality slightly better in the Beemer, but I’m guessing this has a better ride? Never been a huge fan of the grill on the Macan, but BM isn’t great either. I think I’d probably take the Macan, however I’m interested to know your thoughts? Anyway, I think you meant X4 M 😆🤣

Excellent & spirited presentation!! 👍👍

That green really stands out. They did a great job with this small suv.

I think I should’ve had color matched brakes with the color of the car or black would work

I have the same car 2023 (one month new), similar although I have the front camera and panoramic sunroof. I agree with Salwat5 that the BMW has better infotainment, but I don't like the suspension in the BMW - was too track focused for me, but excellent vehicle as well. Alpha Romeo Stelvio also very nice , again harsh. I have an obnoxious car already so this one a littler more livable was my preference. So far I love the car and engineering, not sure just yet on Infotainment TBD. Nice review thx!

Joe love every review you do! Love the green and contrast stitching 🧵 I rented a Macan back in August. It was a blast to drive. The get up and go was unreal. I am debating now between that and the Genesis GV70. Genesis a little more affordable and roomier and comes with more for less without having to be added options like the Porsche

Great review!

Green is my favorite color especially any neon green and the 2 brands that do greens well is Porsche and dodge. Green isn’t an easy color to make it attractive

I have had my 2023 Macan S for a few months and love it. It is without question the best SUV in terms of driving dynamics. Porsche knows how to build a car!

That color is EVERYTHING!!!!! It's beyond fabulous!

Bishop Canyon Baseball Field, Elysian Park. We usually film on the helipad just east of where you stood

Keep going Mr ratiti 💯

Saw one in the showroom today at Porsche West Houston if anyone needs one... I was picking up my 98 boxster... not shopping.

Python Green on a Porsche Macan GTS is very sexy. The vehicle is a potent performer the styling is gorgeous and it is an attention getter! Thanks for the video and Lori of course splendid camera work👍👍

I hate SUVs but love love love this monster! The red calipers are okay I guess :o) But, is it too much to ask Porsche to round the horsepower number up or down and make it cleaner? Awesome review!!!

Yellow calipers would’ve been better match with yellow seatbelts

Like the sounds. 🔥

Nice looking car,would definitely choose this over the x3 Age well especially on the outside Sick paint job.

If you move the rear wiper under the spoiler it will interfere with the air flow

I see the brake calipers I would suggest black, dark gun metallic, or silver. Something to help offset the Python Green and I've come to love the German brands!

Green goes along with that beauty.

Those launches were amazing! This suv is very promising. It’s amazing that the dna from all the racing history! Your enthusiasm can cure depression! I was smiling the whole way. 😅😅😅😅😅 “Alright guys we’re inside the Porsche Macan GTS;of course we have it in sport plus mode,I have to show you the launch control in this thing,it is intense. Are you ready,I’m ready. (Joe puts down the brake and the throttle and the Porsche launches like a cruise missile.) ON THROTTLE HERE WE GO! Freaking incredible!”😂😂😂 “Alright guys launch control once again,hold down the brake, hold down the throttle release BRAKE ON THROTTLE”😂😂😂😂😂😂 Hats off to you two 😊😊😊😊

I saw that, almost t-boned that yellow car. Be careful with that on throttle, get that Twinkie cream all over the place! Huge fan here excellent reviews!

I like the red calipers good color contrast

raiti i love you lmao good videos

The calipers should be neon green or electric lime 😎😎

This is probably the best all-around or even hyper hatch. By the way if you get rid of the rear windshield wiper you'd be getting rid of the external hatch release as well

Would love to see a GLC63 review and how it compares to these in your mind!

Man. I really love Porsche Macan! It’s my dream car!

That thing is quick off the line!!

The red calipers can be spec to black for 900 dlls, if you don’t like the spec w/ the red ones

I'm fine with the caliper color. I wonder if you can get it color matched to the green...

your really good at this

I appreciate it being green, looks great. Even though its pretty expensive lol

Hey Raiti's Rides What is Your Pick Between The 6Cylinder Bmw X3 And Porsche Macan

I agree with the red would’ve paint match to the car or black

Almost jumped outta my seat when i saw the thumbnail. I was like "Finally, he reviewing the Cayenne Turbo GT!!" Then i realized it's the Macan GTS. Still very excited!!! Cant go wrong with a Porsche, and the Macan is quite popular in Jamaica if you believe that. Great review.

Beautiful spec!

Your reviews are amazing and you are passionate. So many people are jaded after getting to drive so many great cars. Not you. It’s evident you love these machines. Based on this review, I got a 23 Macan GTS and it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. I even did Euro Delivery and picked it up from the factory. Thanks for helping me make my decision!

Normally I hate gloss black around my controls but damn if Porsche doesn't make it look beautiful

its really beautiful joe, but theres alot missing for that price point

Thanks

class leader 👍

Looks like Christmas colors! Santa would look good in that!

My GOD 😱... 20:48 😁💪🤣

There's nothing like smooth-power !!

I hope you enjoyed your stay in LA

Say Joe the Porsche Macan it is similar to the Audi Q5 & Volkswagen Tiguan

Where do people keep getting this 0-60 number of 3.4 seconds. I have yet to see anyone get anywhere near that.

I got a 2023 X3 M40i... I did consider Macan 6 cyl, but X3 M40i gives me the same features for a lot less... And it's just as fun to drive

Are you going to make a video on the latest Cayenne GTS??

I'll take it!

Every car video is worth watching on Raiti’s rides. Even if it’s my least favorite car

Wow stunning Exterior color that matches the seat belts

What is the cost of an oil change at a Porsche Dealership ? I always wanted to know.

0-60 3.4? I haven’t seen anything like that online.

Raiti can make you spend your savings to buy a car, he knows how to marinate a car with the choice of language

I’ve got a 24 GTS. Most fun vehicle I’ve ever owned

50/50

3.4 seconds 🏁 WOW

those Hulk GREEN seat-belts!

thank you for pronouncing it correctly Porsha

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

YES.

You are right…..get rid of the RED Calipers….

Dream car 🥵

Nice suv .

why arent bmw x4 talked about at all?

100k..That's some big money for such a small car!

I really wish I liked the styling of this Macan. I prefer the Jag F Pace SVR.

Let’s play Americans favorite game “Would You Rather” Joe Would You Rather a 2022 Ford GT500 CFTP or the 2023 Porsche Macan GTS? They both cost the same price. I personally like both. Anyone else that wants to chime in I would like to hear your opinion also.

Is it the same engine in the RS4 and RS5

I think perhaps this Macan GTS would have looked nicer with Yellow calipers instead of red.
