    So much prattling about…nothing.
    Your early “top tips” and “secrets” content about various Porsches were super helpful. Lately it’s just drama and clickbait…and inconsistent name changes.
    As I say to military and police when I come in contact with them, “Thanks for your service…” Good Luck with whatever is next.

      Agree. Narcissistic personality disorder comes to mind!

    So everything you said about the car is that is is not for you. I think you could have figured that all out ahead of time. God Bless.

    All the mid size SUV's have límited space in the back seat, any average person will be unconfortable even for a short ride therefore they're not even considered family cars! The Macan might fit in a big sports car category

    Video title should have been 'Why I'm a Dummy & I'm selling my Macan after 6 Months". It's called 'do your homework'. So you will sell it to who? Another uneducated buyer

    My Macan has no rattles or squeaks but I agree the standard sound system is a bit below par. Love the car though 😍

    Hi Satch it sounds like your car has the dreaded Transfer Box Issue, read this PCGB forum member’s description:
    I noticed a slight but discernable vibration through the steering wheel when setting off, particularly under extra load such as pulling away up hill. It felt like the car was going over small speed bumps. Initially as the tyre were well worn, I though this may be the problem, but after replacing the tyres the fault was still there.
    OPC immediately diagnosed fault with Transfer Box and ordered a new one from Germany,and fitted week later.
    On viewing other Macan forums it appears this is not an uncommon problem, and the OPC service manager confirmed there has been 'a few', but I think was reluctant to admit how many. Be interesting to know if other PCGB Macan owners had had same problem.
    I recommend all Macan owners be vigilant to the symptoms whilst still under warranty.

    Some of us value reliability over performance. Would that macan last 100,000 miles trouble free?

    Your cayenne wasnt PDK it was tiptronic, that jerking issue isnt to do with the gearbox, its the transfer box, its an indication its failing, its a very well known issue with Macans and Cayennes

  • @matsleight

    Agree with others who mentioned it, sounds like transfer case issue.

    I always liked your videos and Porsche content. If you like to branch out your channel to other cars beyond Porsche, I think it will be good. I do think that many Porsche owners like me, went to your channel as it has a clear focal point (Porsche) which is a good foundation for making specific content that is really meaningful and can provide insider knowledge or awareness. This is at risk, when the base goes broader.

    I have a new Macan S on order. I hope the rattles aren't a common occurrence on Macans, as my current BMW X3 M40i is completely rattle free, and build quality is superb. I'd hate to jump to Porsche only to get inferior build quality.

    My Porsche Macan S is my daily driver and I love it and I will always have a Porsche of some kind. Mine is a 2017 I dont have anything rattling or shaking I have 22K miles and I have had no issues. Your clickbaity video title makes it seems like this is a trash vehicle and it is not. Mine is fun fast and all I need in an SUV but in fairness to you I have no kids no dog I bought it because I wanted to make my Audi more of a Project weekend car

    You may have answered a problem for me. Was thinking of buying a Macan but was concerned about the getting in and out issue, not for me but my wife who does have mobility issues, and looking at your video and you stepping over that side bolster definitely would be a problem. So it looks as if a re-think is in order.

    • @housydoing
      @housydoing 2 года назад +5

      just opt for non sports seats (4 way or 14 way - no 18 way) - much less bolster

    Ha! I happen to love Porsche. But at the same time dislike SUV's. Very few people need one. I drove a Macan when my Spyder needed servicing and it drives fine but it's no sports-car... My wife drives a 320e touring. Which is a brilliant daily car that oozes style while beating the taxman at the same time. Personally, I would fancy a Porsche shooting brake EV to complement my Spyder but that will not happen.

  • @melp1088
    @melp1088 2 года назад +3

    Totally understandable. Every car is made with specific capability an market in mind. Ive had 3 SUVs myself and 2 caymans but as much as i need suv for winter weather it def is NOT for me. I prefer sedans n sports car myself. So for now im in a w221 s450 and this car will almost do all that i need as a DD car but i think wagon is the way to go along with my next cayman purchase. I will keep it and see how it does with the airmatic suspension another raised 2” in winter n go from there.

    Keep going Al. Really enjoy your content. If you're thinking of diversifying, consider doing some more technical videos/ teaming up with a local specialist like D&G. You could also buy an interesting project/classic car like an Z4 coupe, Impreza or classic Mini - would love to follow your progress with something like that 👍🏻
