Fully appreciate the 2.0 variant might not be the most favoured by Macan fans, but the T suits our needs more than adequately as the primary family car; it's 'utility' will span all manner of use.
Notable options include:
Spoiler
Crayon paint
Extended Leather Package/contrast stitching
18-way electric adaptive seats
Exterior Package in vehicle colour
Pano roof
PDLS Plus
Adaptive Air Suspension including PASM
BOSE Surround Sound System
Surround view camera system
Heated windscreen
Power Steering plus
The Papaya contrast stitching and seatbelts can be seen at the following link (sorry it doesn't seem to want to embed here on Rennlist!) :

The 2.0t doesn't get the respect it deserves here. Congrats on the new car, and very cool that you bought a 993 color matched to the seatbelts in your Macan

It does from me!
I own a 3.6 PP, the highest displacement Macan, and as much as I enjoy the power, I don't need it in a grocery getter where I live.
I haven't driven a Macan T but had it been available when I bought mine, I might of opted for one.
I haven't driven the T but have the Q5 (same engine, weight, and dimensions) and can fathom the Porsche version is excellent.
This is my 2023 Macan GTS - which I ordered new to my spec - loved every minute of owning this car, just an ideal DD. It does everything well, has enough power, handles well, rides well, makes good sounds and hauls enough people and stuff to have the flexibility you need from a DD. I put 43,xxx miles on it and with the platform ending I decided to replace it with a 2026, which is being built this week and will be delivered mid-May. That way I will get to enjoy this platform for a number of years to come. My 2026 is pretty much a duplicate order of the 23, so no one will even know I got a new one

Just got back from a nice highway run to Boston and back to CT. After driving this car for 3 mos and around 2300 miles (2023 S CPO'd) I can honestly say I absolutely love this car. Air suspension is key IMHO. The car feels firmly planted and comfortable at speed, power comes on effortlessly, the 18 way seats are cocoon-like and add to the overall experience. Can't say enough. I had my concerns coming from my previous A8 in terms of losing comfort, but I don't think I gave anything up and I gained a much more fun car to drive. So happy I made the switch after 11 years in the Audi.
I've been blessed with quite a number of enjoyable vehicles but now having had the Macan for a few months I have one deep, deep regret: why didn't I get one 10 years ago? It is an absolutely sensational machine.
Yes, as I may have said before, I had a Cayenne S with the naturally aspirated V8. My 2023 Macan S seems to have as much power, but is smaller and lighter, thus it seems faster, more nimble and responsive. I love it, and don't miss the V8.
My Macan has been extremely reliable.
Being a 2017 with 45k mi, I've done preventative oil and filter changes of the PDK, transfer case, and differentials twice.
Recently I started hearing a loud knock on fast acceleration and hopping on tight turns.
I thought the transfer case might've finally caught up to me but after a trip to the mechanic, it turns out it was just the driveshaft carrier bearing.
Anyway, just a note of appreciation for a car that has required little more than oil changes despite what the internet might have you believe about its reliability - knock on wood.
