The back seat/trunk space part was amazing! It gave me a better feel for what it would actually be like to live with! Thank you for the extra work that you put in to get that shot!

Please do more of the back seat/trunk space scenes! It's incredibly relevant for someone actually looking to purchase this car and you guys did it super efficiently and amazingly!

Appreciate the extra attention payed to the trunk space! The box test is missed, but this is a nice compromise!

The first shipments and allocations for the 2022’s were actually the base cars. They sell way more lightly optioned base Macans than anything else. Given they know where their bread is buttered it isn’t hard at all to a get a lightly optioned one. Your tester actually has a lot of options. In fact that matte texture on the dash panel is leather and that is a fairly pricey upgrade over the standard Piano Black (though wood and Aluminium are now available at no extra cost)

This is unquestionably the best out of Q5, GLC300, X3, NX

Guys this was an amazing review loved every part of it.and the new segment where Jakub reviews the seating capacity is a great welcome.❤️

Good review of a base model, that is good to see. Often only up-model versions are reviewed but some of us are aiming a little lower as a starting point into a brand. Your videography and editing are quite good.

New transitions! The new editors hand is tangible in a neat way!

That shift burble literally sounded like a fart in the beginning

Love your reviews and your launches. Ordered a volcano grey 22 Macan GTS Loaded out. Will be my jacked up version of a 911….lol. Can’t wait to get it in the spring. Truly a great engineered suv and really enjoyed that you can customize your build with Porsche. Keep ‘em coming.

OMG finally!!! That was the one element severely lacking from all of your prior reviews…. When everything was said and done I had no clue how large the interior space was or how much luggage space was on offer. It helps tremendously when stating how tall you are as well, so please keep it up, it’s definitely appreciated!

Nice to have you back. Happy New Year!

Love this review, you guys have covered pretty much all the bases when it comes to the Macan. We’ve been looking at a Macan S for a while now and this review echoes everything I felt during that test drive. Great car, great review.

My Porsche dealership experience itself has always been great, but you guys aren't wrong about delaying on "cheaper" models. Was stuck between a Spyder and GTS 4.0, the wait for Spyder was 8-12 months, GTS 4.0 would have been well over a year IF they could even get one. Obviously I went for the Spyder haha

Damnnnnn! Great review. Loved you showing the back seat head room with Jakub. Keep up the great work!

Love the fact that you show the backseat space! I always wondered and went to other chanels but now, I won’t have to😄

Another awesome Review! Love your Videos! 🔥 Greetings from Germany 🤙

This is my first comment. I love all your videos especially high end Supercars and top of the range models but this was great to watch. I definitely would suggest making more entry level reviews as this is something everyday people are keen to watch!! 👌

1:30, really enjoyed this bit. A nice upgrade in presentation. Would also LOVE if you would provide the vehicle's weight along side horsepower and torque.

This is the best review on your channel. Slick edits, copy is nice and tight. I might have to subscribe. Fantastic!

Great quality. Happy 2022. Wishing y’all a great year. I like this color match better wheel better. More subtle but still a nice extra touch.

Good first time Porsche owner. I got a 2018 Macan with 13,000 miles for a great price and I’m definitely getting a 911 in a few years. Good starter Porsche. I’m happy with it.

Just got this 2022 macan 1 week ago! Absolutley love it as a first time porsche owner. So far everything is pretty similar to what you said. I noticed the same thing you mentioned about the engine, but roughly 1000kms in I feel like its starting to get smoother as I drive it more on a daily basis. Plus the car is starting to pop and bruble alot more in sport mode 1st gear 3k-4k range.

I bought one and Im picking it up later this week! It will be my first Porsche. You guys have me so hyped right now. Its going to be a great start with the brand.

Love the new format of showing the cars space n boot capacity of better clarity..... Always wanted something of sort tht is akin to doug demuro vids .. happy abt the more in depth review format... Keep it up guys

I just watched this car review TWICE, because that’s how much more production value this one feels like. Loving it.

My absolute dream car, everything that you need. Amazing looks, good performance, gorgeous porsche interior, and enough space for my friends/family/dog. I might rather go for the cayenne if I had the money but honeslty these looks are better (not including the gt turbo)

I'm 6' 1.5" so your back seat review is literally the most relevant one on the internet for me. Love it!

Having had a 2021 as a loaner I totally agree that it's better than most cars period

Nice review guys. Gives me a feel and sets expectation for GTS I have on order…..really loaded. Going to be my 911 on stilts.😊. Can’t wait to get it. Should arrive in April. Love your opener and launches. Keep it going.

Just got my 22’ Macan, the first of this year. And I LOVE IT! :D! Great Review!

You guys really upped your edit game, there are some really nice transitions in there!👌

I've already watched a review by a different RU-vidr but your channel is so much more entertaining!

Love these videos because they have the most interesting and high quality videos. It is very entertaining.

I leased a base 2021 Macan and absolutely love it. Completely agree that it is a starter Porsche meant to get you into the brand. I can state that it is difficult for me to plan on driving anything else moving forward (I realize I am lucky to be in the situation) ... I hope to upgrade to a Taycan next. Overall the drive and feel for the road are unlike anything else I have driven. It's a fun car to drive and the brand experience at the dealership is top notch. No upselling, they know what they offer and are excited for new buyers as they know they will get you hooked. Macan EV will be awesome to see soon!

I bought my ‘17 macan gts partially because of your old review of it! It’s awesome and I love it, keep it up my dudes.

Liking the new format of the video keep it up guys

Love the new additions to your reviews!

Hopefully you guys get to review the 2022 GTS since it is now more rigid, better suspension, and received the Turbo's engine. I have one on order with a March delivery, but really hoping you guys get your hands on one. Great videos, as always.

Happy New Year, boys. Keep up the great work!!

Ahhh I love the new cuts. Well done boys!

Great video guys! Yuri looked low on energy today though. Hope all's good buddy!

absolutely love the new camera work!

I've watched this video over 10 times now now for peace of mind. Great review and can't wait for my 2022 base to come in next month. Sucks the S model is impossible to get which was my first preference. Switching over from an X3, so excited to enter the gateway of the porsche brand.

Another great one from TSP. Love the Macan! The little clock above the center stack is a must have for blasting down the 401 during rush hour. That is how you know you have arrived.

I really liked the quick walk around sitting behind yourself and trunk room. You guys should keep doing that angle.

As always, I enjoy your videos. I’m contemplating trading my 2020 718 in for a 2022 base Macan that’s pretty well equipped, and beautiful. I was hopeful to retain the sports car element as I’ve had 4 Porsche sports cars within a utility vehicle. But when you said current Porsche owners might consider it a downgrade to get a base Macan as in essence the driving experience isn’t the same, it made me rethink that pursuit.

Love my Macan! P.S. Awesome video editing! 👌🏼

9:09 man that gauge cluster design is a full 10-years old now. All the way back to at least the 2012 991.1. Can't wait for the next one.

It is a really good looking car, unlike some of the other high end suvs. I like the interior of Porsches as well. They are simple and have real gauges.

Love our base model Macan! Test driving it back to back with a Q5, X3 and Passport it was clear the Macan is so much better. Bought it in the first months of the pandemic with a big discount. Does a great job towing the racecar as well!

Great idea to test the bases model especially the engine really helps since most buyer go with the base engine

Always go for the S - the 4 cylinder is ok, but ist feels it struggles with the car and has to rev high to move. Fuel economy is almost same between base and S. The V6 feels so much better.

this is literally your 5th Macan review!! I'd say this is the only car u guys reviewed the most out of every car in your automotive journey because this car is this great in every way. How about the full Elantra N review (if it's available in Canada)??

Big fan from India. Love your reviews. Keep it up!!! 👍👍

Love the new format!!!!

I’m looking at a 2017 Macan S, 340 hp, AWD… 51,000 miles. It’s immaculate-definitely been garage kept. I test drove it and it didn’t take long to fall in love.

When we went to buy our Macan (in 2019), we had base model in mind. As we were adding options, price quickly rose up (because Porsche). So the porsche guy goes like: "look, it is getting into high Macan S numbers, we do not have macan S currently, but we have Macan GTS in shop. Wouldn't you want to try it?". 25 minutes later, we were ordering Macan GTS :D. You dont have to sell porsches, these cars sell themselves :D :D :D. (Also, incredible car. I am in love.)

That part where you said “continuity error, because yuri isn’t next to me”. Literally blew my mind. I was like “it’s lined up, same sentence, somethings different… but what???? Ommmmmgggg!!!”

I've always liked the Macan, but for what a base one sells in your brotherly states to the south, the better purchase is a BMW X3 M40i with the B58 turbo 3.0L engine and ZF 8 speed transmission.

When I was deciding between the Macan S or X3 M40i, I ultimately went with the X3 M40i because exactly of the additional headspace and legroom in the back. But the Macan looks a lot better than the X3 in my mind.

Buy the previous model in GTS spec, or if you get lucky and find a Turbo with all of the GTS’s features (namely the air suspension) PLUS sport chrono, get that one. NEVER buy a base Macan. The S at least gets you PDK, but the real magic of the Macan is that the air suspension (standard in the GTS, but only a 50/50 shot on the used Turbos) let’s you drive to vmax while staying all the way low. When you put it all together the previous model GTS is the best all around 1 vehicle buy under $50k…and no gloss back dash.

Considering the next-gen Mecan is supposed to go fully EV, this might be the bargain ICE Porsche to buy right now. Love the looks, it's always been my favorite German SUV. Great review guys!

Ive watch a lot of your videos they are really good, continue the good work and by the way ive been working at porsche dealershing since 3 months and i just learned where the heating steering wheel button was lol

Switching up the format… Good idea, I like it, refreshing 👍👍

Another great video, thanks. Since you're doing base models, how about that new RWD BMW 230i in M Sport trim? I'm sure you'd dig driving it, and not a lot of folks reviewing it. I know, everyone wants the M240 X Drive, but as a purist's car, the 230 beats the current M240 IMO!

Loved the visuals on this 👏

You’re back!👌🏻

My mom has a base model with extras on it but it is an absolutely AWESOME car! Amazing interior, comfortable in the back spacious.

You should drive more base models since so many people drive these. I ordered a Macan T which is essentially abase and it is awesome.

I test drive Macan GTS yesterday, and placed the order, even the waiting period more than 10 months. Have to say it's the ultimate midsized SUV.

Amazing review, love it

Bought a 2018 Macan GTS because of a review these guys did. Best decision ever. Thanks fellas!

Got a new 2021 Macan S in stock last year with very very limited options. Those speced cars still exist and I’m fine with it

Would love to see more base models being reviewed since that is what most people are going to be buying.

I have a MY22 GTS on order (2nd in line at my dealer having placed my order in Summer 2021) - FYI its quite the reverse with allocations with them being VERY limited for GTS and there's more of an abundance of base model allocations (you can probably even find base models in dealer inventory now, i.e. PFAFF in Vaughan) because they make so much more compared to the GTS. Not sure demand-wise though if that aligns with allocations... seems the GTS is way more in demand for MY22 compared to last year from what I'm seeing, which is probably because you can option them similar to what a MY21 Turbo was, but for around $15K cheaper. Great video - hope to see you guys review the MY22 GTS soon!

I bought my Base Macan 3 months ago optioned to around $80K, and I was told recently I might get the car by December. So there is around a year wait time at this moment. I also bought a Cayman 718, which estimated delivery is mid 2024.

just spec'ed mine and i went with the S, premium package with chrono sport plus the air suspension and a couple other little goodies. Deposit placed March 21st. Dealer said he's placing the order in June and delivery will be sometime in August.

i built an S in the US. came exactly to what i spec’d out. i ordered it in August and it arrived in december- which was earlier than the expected date they gave me of April. i love the S- it’s the goldilocks version of the 3 trims. it gets you the engine of last years GTS, with the cleaned up interior of 2022. my only gripe is no full screen carplay. that stinks

71% of prebuilt stock at the local dealer are base model 2021-2022 Macans. So this is actually what is available.

I have a 2021 Macan GTS spyder alloys and optional carmine red paint..love it from day 1. the only problem is rear leg room. i am 6 feet tall and anyone above 5.10 and above, forget about sitting behind me. boot space is good for all my needs with a small family. went on a road trip for 7 days up north and it worked fine.

Nice transition from in/out of vehicle (re: rear seat/cargo space).

We purchased a macan base with a premium package back in 2017. We ordered our 2024 the same way. We tried to convince ourselves with cheapper price tag on the X3, GLC and Q5 but, no way you could replace a Macan with those ones. Better of paying more now than regreting soon. The only reason we kept our 2017 for 8 years is that we still love it buts its time to replace it.

Love the review thanks, and yes I just bought some Tim Hortons for home here in Boca. lol First had it in Vancouver a couple of years ago

Well, it's not like I'll ever be in one, but I always liked the old button style of the Macan, even if the slot was empty. Piano black is rarely a good feature to me, still, it's a nice compact looking ride, but the refresh of the Cayenne looks better overall in my eyes.

Now this is the review i was looking for. I have placed order for mine gentian blue. You guys just added cherry on top

Pretty good! I looked at one a year ago just for fun and it was larger then I was expecting. It was pretty good

Loved the updated format

Nice review thanks! I saw you were able to turn on heated and cooled seats on at full power at the same time…it lets you do that? What happens? 😊

Love your videos. I have a 2018 Macan GTS and a deposit down for a Panamera GTS but everyday thinking of just getting a 2022 Macan GTS instead. I’ve always wanted a Panamera but logically can’t justify the +$40k over Macan. What are your thoughts?

How fast were you driving while testing LKA? I believe it only corrects above 40 mph. And if it only has LDW, not LKA, it will only audibly alert you. LKA does have to be turned on in order for steering assist as well.

I love the walk around style!!

They really needed to update this. I've driven the former Macan on multiple occasions as a service loaner and it felt like it was half the price new. That 4 cylinder whine tho.

Love this / you guys!

Even my Macan S, when in normal mode drives sluggish, feels like it's in economy mode, as soon as I put in in sport, the car transforms!

wow , awesome review

Good work on some new techniques. Will help grab new viewers.

"There has never been a Porsche that does not handle like a Porsche," what a cool fact!
