Here the first review snippet, h/t to ISUK from Rennteam:
The Macan S gets a great review by Georg Kacher in December's edition of Car magazine where he tests it around the Leipzig track and off road course.
"This much is clear after the first five laps of the track: the new Porsche Macan is the sports car among the trendy soft-roader set. It is faster than the brawny Audi SQ5, nimbler than the awesome BMW X5M, more chuckable than the fiery Mercedes ML63 AMG, even better handling than the mighty Cayenne Turbo S. To be taken seriously then."

I read the review in Car by Georg. He was IMPRESSED. And he does not easily impress….he was fairly critical of the 991 when it came out. I am very much looking forward to more reviews.
When I get home, I will post more snippets from his review.

, it is a glowing review:
...Our Cayenne chase car copes quite well with these challenges, but it does lean, squeal and struggle at the limit. Less so the Macan. Instead of behaving like a 1.9-toner on steroids with an elevated centre of gravity, it feels more like a laden Audi S4 Avant...
...It may be an SUV but it's a proper Porsche in terms of appearance and talent, it blends street cred and desirability with a reasonable pricetag and it might just be, for the many rivals in this booming segment, a worst nightmare.
