I bought a 2017 base model a couple months ago and have had no problems. I’ve put 5,000 plus miles on my Macan and it runs great. I took my car in for service at a Porsche dealership and everything checked out… my advice buy a 2017 or 2020+… all other years have problems per my consultant at the dealership…my personal advice, buy the vehicle, but do your research first!
Porsche doesn't stand behind the quality of their vehicles. The ransfer case on my 2015 Macan S has failed twice now in only 27,000 miles. This is a known issue which caused Porsche to extend their warranty to 7 ys. Their "improved" transfer case lasted only 2 years 2 months and 9,000 miles. I am out of warranty by 6 weeks and Porsche turns their back on problem and sticks me for $3,200 repair. Don't buy a Porsche w/o extended warranty for entire length of time you expect to own it. #1 rated warranty company - Endurance - won't even sell coverage on Macan. That should tell Porsche and all potential buyers something. Customer experience is far from an expected premium car brand experience.
I'm thinking about getting a 2016 Porsche McCain with 68,000 miles on it what should I ask the owner and do you think it is reliable for three kids and a wife I live in the mountains and I am looking for an SUV but reliable right now we have a Honda Civic what's your input
@@kerry9456 Well…6 months later but I would just like to say that porsches seem to have a lot of variety in terms of long-term reliability, but as far as the 2016 Macans go, it would be a better idea to find a 2017 or even 2018 base model for a little extra cash because 2016 is probably one of the worst macan years. Additionally, macan might be a little small for a mountain family car, maybe take a look at some 2016-2017 cayennes? They’re usually in the same price range and are definitely more reliable.
For a used Euro car.. Yes ish.. Assure there is no oil leaking.. Anywhere! This vehicle has a large catch pan with felt lining.. Have a mechanic drop that pan to check for oil leaks specifically from the timing belt cover..
@@turbo1997hsm German automakers aren't something you should be in the market for if you are trying to put that many miles on a vehicle, especially used.
@@turbo1997hsm Sure, older vehicles can easily hit high volumes of mileage, but I was referring to the vehicle that we are in the comment section of. This generation of Macans will probably go to 160k-200k. Although Porsche is one of the reliable German automakers, 300k might still be a struggle with newer makes.

I’m looking at a 2017 Macan S with 50,700 miles on it. I’m super curious why did they specify 2017 as a good year??
@@danielchapter70128 2017-2019s are solid models because Porsche changed their engine and structural model right afters.
What’s the maintenance price per year if you drive it regularly?
@@lorenzoperry6779good question please @ me when someone replies
Crazy in Louisiana review & I’m looking into getting the car I’m getting the car next week
Just wait until you get the routine timing belt cover gasket oil leak around 60k.. Thats a $9k service repair itself.
That is an issue with some Macans. Though it is not an issue with the majority of Macans.
Those with V6's mainly....right?.
The manufacturer warranty don’t cover that?

They Made the macan cheap with aluminum bolts on the engine instead of the good titanium ones like the Porsche 911 have
Looking at one now, 32,999 with 16,000 miles
Same - 116k mi for 20k USD 💪😭💪💸💸💸
Same miles as the one I’m looking into yea I’m getting the suv
Though it was a review of the Macan, it was not much of a USED car review.
$41,000 for a Macan S with 48k miles!? I’m looking at S same year 50k miles for only $32,900😮

Fun fact: The Porsche Macan and Cayenne almost have the same headlight shape.
Are these reliable though?

I agree with your question. This was not much of a USED car review.
Alot of us just want a Porsche that will last for 150,000 without major repairs.
300k for me. I put a lot of miles on everything

@@gurmankang1 Plenty 1st Gen Cayennes have hit 300k. Plenty Macans and Stelbios have hit 200k
