Just drove a Macan GTS yesterday for the first time while getting my 911 serviced. Wow, what a car. I was super impressed and think this would be an excellent daily driver. Plenty quick, still has a great feel, and definitely more comfortable for everyday driving. And of course the 1,000 buttons in the center console we all love!

The Macan is a great DD and I've got a GTS waiting for me to pick up. I've had an S for 6 months and really enjoyed it. The GTS should be all that much better.

the buttons are a bit ridiculous. it takes me like 2 minutes before i put the car in gear and start to back out of the garage...

Agreed 100%. 'Normal' mode? I think it's like a 'normal' life. Driving the speed limit, stopping at every stop sign, watching the price of gas, eating three square meals a day, paying your taxes on time etc... not too exciting and to some degree living in a low-level degree of fear! Then's there's 'Sport' mode with some drama, noise, accelerating, etc... which = fun and what many people need more of!

So I traded in a 981CS(14) after a year for a 991S(15) thinking that this would be a great think for my now 2 1/2 year old..Well it is not so great..after 15 months sold the 911 and got a Macan GTS...he actually thanked me today!!..he got a new carseat that is sweet..internet so he can use his iPad ..yes he knows how to!!!
Going back, I sold my 997S for the Cayman..I never should have done that..The 997 was a real keeper.actually drove one yesterday and loved it..Much more than the 991S..991 is a better car in every way except feel..and feel is the thing i love most of all..
@Zeus...I have been looking at Boxsters ALL DAY...coming from the 991S..i learned a big lesson..feel beats speed for me..i like a more raw mechanical feel..
So I will look..maybe at like a 2007 S..thought about a Cayman S (987) but i think I want top down again..
The Macan GTS is by far the best daily driver I have ever had!!

I absolutely love my Macan. Just back from a tour and the Macan had no problem hanging with and in some cases pulling away from the 911s, Caymans, and Boxters. The car screams and handles like a 911.

Yeah, Porsche likes to refer to the Macan as a "big" 911. I think they're right. On the Autobahn, it's very stable and easily capable of speeds in excess of 130 mph.

I had a CayenneS for 3 years but the Macan is a different animal. So nimble and quick. Porsche really has created a winner here!

Yes, we got the car on Euro delivery. Now have to wait for it here!

i have a 16 991 turbo cpe and just traded my m4 for a macan gts. looking forward to it. have had a '15 macan s and two '16 macan s's. nice, but not enough fun. i must be a slow learner or nuts (my wife and friends vote for nuts)....but i am hoping four times is a charm. i have had two 991 gts' and they were great...so hoping i love the macan gts! macan's are not 911's...great suv's....but not 911's.

I started this thread wondering about trading 911 for a Macan GTS. Pulled the trigger today and traded for a sapphire blue GTS. Tough decision but a good one for me. Happy so far but only 40 miles but first coat of sealant/wax.
