More urgent engines, and a modernised interior make evolutionary changes to the Macan range more than the sum of their parts.

2018 Porsche Macan: owner review
Owner Review | 28 Jun 2019
We have had our Base Macan (or Macan as I will refer to it) for around 12 months. First thing I learnt when looking at this car is that Porsche don’t need to pay a marketing department – owners/ enthusiasts more than sort that out! Just check out on forums and reviews to see the passion and the push to spend up big. Of course, the conjecture still reigns regarding whether the Macan can ever be a real Porsche – especially given that its an SUV with a 2.0 engine sourced from VW. But I will leave that up to others to debate and work out, because it was never a consideration for us when looking at this car or its competitors. So why did we get the Macan? Well wasn’t cause its cheap, cause is ain’t. It wasn’t cause it had the most features, cause it doesn’t and wasn’t for the badge, cause I don’t care that much. Our brief; a car that is more than a one trick pony. It must make you feel special when you get into it. It must be easy to get in and out of (for all ages), but not feel like a truck. It must be confidence inspiring, engaging and go well enough to be grin inducing. It must be comfortable for the family, practical(ish) and able to deal with the reality of everyday life in the city. It must luxurious in terms of quality of materials (just sayin’ there is leather and there then is leatheraahhh) and with tech that is not overwhelming. And lastly, whilst our budget was deep, it was not a bottomless well. For us the Macan ticked a lot of those boxes and to find out why read on… Choices, money, choices. Upfront the Turbo and GTS were well beyond our wallet’s capability. Diesel not the best fit for how we would use the car and the bowser experience was the final nail in that coffin (lack of pumps at the servo & the diesel smell). So we were left with looking at the Macan and the Macan S. We drove a few test cars but none in the combination we wanted in terms of suspension, wheels, seats, features etc. All I can say is WHOA to those of you who found a test car with the options/ spec you wanted, you are one of the chosen few!! When comparing the Macan with the Macan S we ran into issues with the differences between the models – a lot of the additional features we wanted were options on both, so it meant spending a lot more and giving a lot more to the tax man. The other difference was the way the cars handled. We drove both cars around the city (where our Macan lives 98% of the time) and could not feel any performance difference in tight areas and general traffic. For me (I am no race car driver) our Macan, with the 4cyl in the front feels a lot lighter, more manoeuvrable and spritelier - relative to the Macan S. In a long straight line, there are lots of cars that are faster (like the S), but the Macan is still quick and don’t be under any illusion that it won’t encourage you (as it happily seeks out the redline) to go north of any speed limit you care to think of. I like the standard exhaust note in the Macan over 4,000 rpm – peak power comes in at 5000 RPM and the 4 cylinder is more than capable of giving you a shove in the back if you hit the go-fast pedal at these revs. It’s not a “lazy” engine that has more cylinders than it knows what to do with it, but that doesn’t mean it feels stressed to me (there are no problems keeping up with traffic). You just have to drive it if you want to get the most out of it, which from my perspective, is no bad thing. I will admit when it starts up, those around you don’t get an aural pleasure hit (as opposed the petrol V6), but I didn’t buy this for the bystanders. Around town and on long trips our Macan is fantastic car to drive and be driven in. I switched from a 330i msport wagon (sorry wagon lovers) and in comparison, the Macan is better in all situations. I find myself shaking my head with how good the thing is to drive. It has gone over mountains, to the shopping centre and taken a few fully loaded long trips in some of the recent 40-degree heat and never missed a beat. The seats (we chose comfort) and driving position are the best we have ever had in a car. I have owned other Euro makes (including one with certain orthopaedic credentials) and Japanese cars and I have never felt so refreshed after driving 400-500kms in one stint. On the highway and country roads our Macan never feels short of power. It is a comfortable cruiser and overtaking, regardless of the situation, was never a concern. Cabin insulation is really good, it’s a pretty serene place to sit. At around 100kph there is some wind noise off the mirrors – but not enough to make me pull over, kick it and stomp off – I just turn up the volume and normal transmission resumes. Fuel consumption is just OK, on the highway it will dip into the 7’s around town we average closer to mid 9’s. From our perspective the Macan interior really hits the mark for luxury feeling and tech we will use (and yep love the ‘old skool’ buttons in the centre consul). It is not as “blingy” as some but it feels substantial, nothing feels cheap and to our eyes everything is beautifully integrated. The tech is OK without being distracting or too involved, allowing room for us to focus on the task at hand - driving. The steering wheel is a lovely thing to hold in your hands, it feels really special and the metal roll balls or whatever you call them, are sweet to use. I do feel a bit smug knowing that the steering wheel in the base is as good as the one in much more expensive cars. The shifting paddles feel fantastic and whilst the PDK is excellent (though the ratio gap between 2nd and 3rd is a little annoying), I have no qualms using the paddles to take control. Inside the door bins and cup holders are actually good, though the under-seat storage is useless with a capital U. If you like to keep lots of stuff in your car, this may not be the right car for you… for us there is enough storage for what we need, without encouraging any hoarding. It’s not all good, yes some options should be standard on a car like this, for starters I am looking at you keyless entry, LED headlights and interior lighting (light comfort package)! The inbuilt sat nav is pretty rubbish in terms of accuracy and intuitiveness. A little more room for rear passengers would be nice – but we knew that when we bought it. The SD/CD slot is annoying – we don’t use CDs and would have preferred a nice little spot for the phone to sit. The cover for the slot also creaked not long after getting the car – but a bit of jiggling and tightening at the dealer sorted it out! Lastly, whilst I love the steering wheel, I do miss not being able to change songs on the wheel. You have to use the touch screen instead (you can set skip to next song using the one favourite button on the wheel – but only forward or back, you have to choose your weapon, ‘cause you can’t have both). I am also not a big fan of the standard issue VW cup holders in the back. Some stuff I have learnt if you are interested (or go to the next paragraph). Stop start is OK, I like the little trick that I can tug on the steering wheel slightly to get it to start up again before I take my foot off the brake. It makes it easy to use in the traffic and I never feel that panic that you get when waiting for everything to get going before someone runs into you! The shortcut button on the steering wheel is better than not having any (though more short cut buttons would be better), we use it for the 360 camera which is very handy! The coasting function is easy to use (and does save fuel), with your foot off the accelerator and pushing up to higher gears with the paddles to tell it you want to disengage any engine braking, though stop start must be active. No-one who reads or looks at Porsche can avoid the topic of options, so I will share feedback on some of the options we chose. In an attempt to keep in line with our brief we tried hard to option the car as lightly as possible, with a focus largely on everyday convenience, more luxury & practicality. This meant for us options more focused on aesthetics (like embossed head rests) and sportiness (like torque vectoring) missed out. The 360-degree camera is very good and cheap insurance when you look at the price of your wheels (its now standard on the new macan ☹)! Power steering plus make this car so much easier and pleasant to drive at low speed and around town. PASM, I like the control it gives in different situations and I feel it improves the ride over the standard springs. Load space management, for Porsche options not bad value (yep I said it) and really increased the safety and flexibility of the boot. Comfort seats, already mentioned that these are awesome and not as stiff as the sports seat, which suits us. Big wheels look very good on the Macan, but we stuck with the 19’s as comfort was still a priority for us and the 19’s with PASM provide a great daily ride. Dynamic lights, we optioned the bi xenons and they are fantastic – they throw a long high beam for country driving (much better than the LEDs from previous premium cars I have owned) and we really like the cornering function. Heated seats – a personal thing – but I can tell you that are so quick and have your butt on fire within 60 secs!! I will touch on the one option I was too quick to dismiss, Sports Chrono. Often referred to a must have, but when we bought the car my view was; I won’t ever track it, I don’t need the stop watch and whilst launch control is interesting it’s not something I am going to use every day. So, we didn’t option it, but since buying we have had it retro fitted and I don’t regret it at all. I get it now – it’s not really about the track or launch control it just makes the car more responsive and more engaging to drive. Press the button and well, it kinda makes the car better, especially on the move coming out of your favourite backroad bend. My wife was also nonchalant about sports chrono – but after getting it, she is also agrees, it just makes driving a good thing even better. I didn’t go for lane keeping assist etc even though this is a family car, I thought these options were expensive and in other cars I have found them annoying. I will admit in the past I have benefited from better driver aids like AEB, but that was because I was too distracted by all the tech in my car and not paying enough attention to the road. The 2018 Macan did not have proper AEB as an option and to be honest I have not needed any of these aids in the Macan. The speakers are good – don’t get me wrong I would be happier with more sound- but one must draw the line somewhere and I don’t feel short changed in that department. Last word on options; yes they are not cheap, but I found they also generally do what they say they are going to do very well. Negotiate hard on the cost of your options as there is room to move here and whatever you do don’t be paying for mats or boot liners at the very least!!! The Macan is not perfect and if you want the ultimate in practicality or every bit of tech under the sun then go for it, it’s probably not going to fit the bill. As for whatever a real Porsche is – I don’t really care and if you remove the badge this is still an awesome car that met our brief better than anything else we looked at. My tip is if you need/want a car the size of the Macan and its within your budget drive the 4 cylinder and ignore the engine size and 0-100 stats. Just be prepared to forget the nit-picking, it’s like you either unwittingly took some kinda’ potion or they pumped something through the aircon…Yes, some options should be standard which is very annoying to your wallet, but for us, the sum is greater than the parts. There is magic beneath your feat you won’t read or find on a feature list. In my Porsche SUV I face down driveways and gutters without fear or favour and when I am allowed to drive the car, I always, always want to take the long way home. Upon reflection I think I may have unwittingly started my own Macan 4cyl marketing dept – damn you are good Porsche, damn!
2014 Porsche Macan Turbo Review
Owner Review | 5 Jan 2015
Definitely the best in class performance for putting a smile on your face. Having been a Land Rover owner for past 20 years & still enjoy driving my Discovery HSE which is superior as a 4 x 4 and excellent to carry 7 people or lots of cargo, if one is looking for a great day to day mid-size SUV with 'Best in Class' on road performance with attitude, then the Macan Turbo is the ultimate drivers car. For what you get, the overall purchase cost of the Macan Turbo with decent additional upgrades is still good value compared to many other 4 door passenger / performance cars and SUV's, even considering the fact that Porsche are one of the most professional companies in getting maximum spend out of their customers. Build quality is excellent, sports seats, cabin comfort and confident ride at low or high speeds adds to the positive driving and ownership experience. However, it is important to respect the power and size of vehicle, so best get confident driving in regular mode before engaging sport mode for the extra adrenaline flow, otherwise I can see that it will be easy to lose control very quickly - this is why Porsche offer Macan Turbo owners a track day to get to know the car and learn to respect its capabilities. By the way, compared to the larger Cayenne you get more car for your money at a lower overall cost and in my opinion a better driving experience due to size and performance capabilities of the Macan Turbo. Enjoy !
