I am about a week into my new Macan Turbo. I traded in my 2012 Cayenne Turbo. At first I was a bit worried about the size, but it really is not bad. I have three boys, and they fit just fine in the back with all of their baseball stuff in the trunk. I must say that I am quite impressed with how tight and quick this thing is. It really handles like a really good sports sedan (not a 911). I LOVE the PDK, and the sport plus mode is a blast. I also love the new steering wheel. Overall, I am very happy and really enjoying my new ride! BTW, I would have added the gloss black trim if I had ordered it.

Maybe it is just the euphoria of a new car, but I really love this Macan Turbo. It feels every bit as quick as my CTT was, and it is much more nimble. If you do not need the space, I think I would vote for the Macan ( and the CTT was my absolute favorite until now). It truly is a very unique vehicle. to answer the discount question, I did get a 6% discount, but I must disclose that the Porsche/Audi manager is a friend/ patient. I hope there is a Macan Turbo S in a few years!

Congrats! I have the same car, just picked it up from tysons. Didn't get 6% but at least I have one.
Been driving it a week and love it more and more each day. It really is different.

what's the towing power of that ride? I was at the dealer last night, but forgot to ask this. Sweet vehicle- may be the next car I buy- sit it right beside the 993!!

I agree. I love the S and SP modes, but the SP mode is best with the shifters for the same reason as on the 991. The engine just revs too high. The S mode is nice and fun for daily driving. I must say, the SP mode is awesome, and I swear runs faster 0-60 than my Cayenne TT. I do have the air suspension, but in the Macan it only lowers one level. The Cayenne had two levels up and two levels down. Therefore, it is a bit gimmicky. I can't decide what level to keep it on. Hope that helps. Overall, I do really love this vehicle.

I've now fully run in my Macan Turbo and has PASM and a Sport Plus.
I run the car permanently in the firmer ride setting and with the lower suspension setting activated. Makes a massive difference to the handling.
When pressing on I go to Sports Plus and flick lever one side so that car only changes gear on paddle shift, otherwise hunts too much.
The only disappointment is the engine note as you rise up the rev range. It sounds good at idle (standard setting on start up meaty but quickly subdues, Sport raises the noise and Sport Plus a bit more). However engine sounds too anodyne at about 5,000 - 7,000.
