Saphire Blue Macan
#61
I have a 2012 Touareg right now which is an amazing SUV and a great value. I originally shopped for the Cayenne but the Touareg was, for me, a better value. That said, it's a large vehicle and my wife would probably like something smaller.
I love the look of the Macan but am concerned that the low rear roofline constricts possible cargo fitments. (I've never measured it) My question to current Macan owners: Have you been able to actually haul "stuff"? And major surprises or disappointments? Any comparisons from previous SUV's you've owned? Thanks!
BTW, that Saphire Blue looks amazing!

Enjoy! 12k miles on our Turbo and it's by far the best drive in it's class! Looks awesome and can carry a fair amount of stuff too.
Love the Spyder wheels!
Now, remember, the parking brakes work in opposite directions!

Asking like $11K off MSRP with almost 10K miles is pretty aggressive.

I have an issue, there is a small oil leak on the passenger side that is dripping on the exhaust and causing a but bit of smoke and and a burnt oil smell. Something must be loose. back to the dealer

Nice colors on the Macan. We looked at the Macan but my wife liked the bigger interior in the Cayenne. It's also a diesel that gets almost 33mpg on the highway, super comfy. And yes waiting for details on the recall. Only issue for my wife is driving it in the garage even though it's an easy fit, it looks a lot tighter than it is.

It's been almost a month since you got the Mac and I wonder how you have used it and how it has affected your use of the 911. I am thisclose to pulling the trigger on one, but need all the justification I can find. I have a Ford Super Duty which is my usual DD, but it's a diesel and has some of the same issues as the 911 in that it has to be driven long enough to get everything warmed up and is not great in town or for going to the supermarket. I figure the Mac would be better for short trips and around town, but I wonder how having it will affect my use of the 911, and do I really need three cars? So what has your experience been?

The Macan S makes daily driving, running around, and the everyday BS very fun. The PDK tranny is quick and its a very comfortable CUV while being very sporty.
The 991 can't be my one and only car. Just doesn't wear enough hats. Plus out there in traffic and the daily running around, too many idiots out there ready to rear end you while not paying attention.
Having both is a blessing. My wife says the garage looks like a Porsche advertisement. A GT Silver 991S and Rhodium Silver Macan S.
Getting a larger SUV for the wife and family cruising. Got all bases covered.

Reading this thread has been very expensive. After studying the postings I ran out and bought this one!
OK, On Friday, I also had a chance to flog a Macan (GTS) along with a variety of 991.2s at the track and found out just how good a Macan can be. I had resisted thinking it could not possibly handle and brake. Now I get it. Or got it, Saturday. Happy DD
