Back to the topic: the Macan is the best and the worst all at once. It is among the most expensive in its segment (there goes the value proposition), it's among the smallest (there goes the utility), and several others are faster (on paper). But, it's far more elegant (no iPad stuck to the top of the dash), rides and feels like a small luxury crossover should (looking at you, X3M) and doesn't rely on gimmicks (fake engine noise, etc) to overcome any deficiencies.

I used to own a Cayman S with a pickup for my DD. Sold both and got an '18 Macan Turbo. Loved it for what it was but hated myself for thinking it could replace both cars and scratch both itches. Sold it, bought a 997 and another truck. Still love the small car for weekends, still hate the truck every day. Now trying to find a 2022+ Macan S with juuuuust the right options spec so my wife doesn't have to hear me complain anymore.

It is saying 74k but I am sure you can get it for 70k (I know you can negotiate with them) and it has only 2880 miles on and you have 6 years unlimited warranty.
