- Thanks to rrsautogroup.com for providing this Porsche Macan S for review today!
How I think the Macan S looks, how it drives, and how practical it is as a daily driver. Let me know your thoughts as well with a comment!
Unlike the Tesla Panoramic roofs the Macan’s sunroof actually opens the entire front half which is almost the size of a Fiat 500 convertible.

Thanks for your great review! I had a 2016 Macan S for 89,000 miles. I bought an extended 100,000 mile warranty. When I traded it in for a new Macan, I got about 40% of the original price. The Transfer Case on the older models will need to be replaced, but Porsche extended the warranty on that item. I used my S as a daily driver and crossed the U.S. twice each year to travel to our summer home. I did not drive the car to its capabilities (probably never got it over 4000 RPM's, as I am a lawful driver), so the 2024 Base model was fine for me. Indeed, after I attended Porsche driving school and took a hot lap with a professional driver, I sold my third 911 because I was only using about 20% of the car's capability. Net, net, the Macan S was the best car I have owned in my 72 years on this earth! I think I will miss the six cylinder for acceleration, but the jury is still out on that! Thanks again for your great review!
Randy thank you for the very kind comment! Glad to hear you’re enjoying your cars and that the Porsches have treated you well!
Cheers to many more years of enjoying the cars!

1st class review. No stupid Jokes, and real insight to the vehicle, the big guys are put to shame by your to the point comprehensive overview. Like the GTI comparison, as we all know GTI's are the best do all car ever made!
Make thank you so much for that kind comment! I find it funny that you like the no jokes part as I usually have at least 1-2 humorous lines in my videos :) This was an easy video to make thanks to the car being so great and having tons of talking points. My dad actually ended up getting one!
Great review! Thanks for help me to decide my next car.
You're welcome Angel! Enjoy the car!

I just bought a Mayan S, 2016 with the entire premium package. It was a steal of a deal snd I love it!
Congrats! Enjoy the car in good health!
What color is it?
Great video. Love the Macan
Thank you!
Great review💯🤗
Thank you
Musts: sport tires, Cobb tune, flat6 intakes, diverter valves. Braaap!
Really want a Cobb tune!
Nice video. Great points and spot on. Bought a Macan S 6 months ago and love it. Only piece I differ on is the wheel size. The 20” look fantastic. Don’t notice any poor ride quality. Still decent sidewall. These cars are amazing to drive. My splurge option was the sport exhaust. Worth every penny. Sounds amazing.
Thank you very much! Congratulations to you on your Macan S! What color is it? I hope you enjoy it for tens of thousands of miles! Happy to say that I helped my dad find his dream Macan S in November and now he is a very happy owner like you :) Cheers!
I agree. Drove with the 20s and 19s yesterday back to back. Did not notice a difference.
Is your car reliable?
@@ToOpen6seven So far extremely reliable. Had it a year now so I am sure if little things they would have shown up. Build quality is excellent as far as I can see.
@@shouldigetit Black with full grey leather interior.
Great review!
Thank you!
Great review
Thank you Nate! I really hope you subscribe.
Solid review
Thank you Alpkan!
Just Got a '15 Macan S, white/tan with 21" OEM wheels.. thanks for the vid
Congrats! Thanks for watching the video.
Great vid 👍🏾
Thank you Mista, blessed to get a comment like that!
I made a bold purchase and ordered a 2017 Macan turbo with over 100k miles on the clock, it should arrive in 3 weeks, no warranty so I am now guessing what would leak first :D As I heard the 3.6 liter engine is the original Porsche engine all other trims are Audi engines. If you have any thoughts I would appreciate
How is it so far Ross?
Just got a used macan turbo and loving it
Nice! Mind if I ask how much you got it for?
Should I Get It Reviews happy share via DM via Instagram or something
@@jordanross3290 my insta is @BenRevzinPhotography thanks!
I bought a new S in May 19. Great SUV but I’d recommend going for the Air Suspension. On PASM even in comfort it’s a bumpy ride on poor surfaces. 3.0 engine a little rough but swift. PDK fast shifts but 1st to 2nd shift can take too long in Sport mode. That aside steering handling and build quality are very very good.
Thank you for the notes Rob, good to know! Have you considered getting a tune for it?
Also curious which car you had previous to the Macan S.
Should I Get It Reviews
I owned a BMW 340i RWD. Great engine. Lovely ZF box perfectly mated to engine. Ride quality on a par with my Macan S. However steering, grip and handling well behind the Macan. No regrets.
I feel that with Air Suspension the Macan would move even further ahead. The next Gen Electric Macan might be worth serious consideration......
Rob Lionheart how’s the maintenance on the car? Is it reliable?
Would air make it quieter too?
I love the Mecan and I love the new one even more!
Same here!
Awesome review, thank you.
Thank you Will! I hope you subscribed :)
Did that car have the power steering assist (I think that’s what it’s called) option to give that adaptive steering experience?
I believe so! That’s what I was mentioning with the steering weight changing dependent on speed.
D Vearn They all do, but it’s some £300 to have it turned on (or indeed off) should it not have been spec’d by a previous owner.
I got the S !!!
Does the RADIO and the CD PLAYER use the BOZE speakers?.....
We bought a Macan S after looking and driving almost all SUV models. Nothing compares to quality and build. Except the Cayenne
Couldn't agree more! Enjoy it Ed!
Did you watch this video before or after buying it? :)
@@shouldigetit we bought it after watching this. LoL, looks like we think the same.
Typo, we bought it before watching this.
What year was this Macan?
How close is a GTI to the Macan base? Do you think the GTI an under priced Macan, and the Macan an over priced GTI? The two have the same EA888 engine though tuned differently. That said, do you think the current issues surrounding the EA888 such as the water pump, leaky upper timing chain cover, turbo rattle and carbon deposit are present in the Macan base? Is it really a larger Golf R with a fancy badge? I love using my current GTI with DSG as a daily driver. When researching the Macan, I found many similarities such as door panel switches, middle consol buttons, entertainment module, light switches, back seat controls, and trunk design. Did you notice a huge difference between the two?
Just watched a video by Top Automotive Inc and narrator discusses chronic oil leaks on the Macan. Have you come across similar info?
Hey Keith I haven’t heard that in any other reviews I watched or from a few owners I know. But maybe it’s just something they’ve never brought up. Looking at a CPO Macan anyway so that would hopefully be covered.
I just bought a 2020 Macon S, didn't do a ton of research on this model but hoping it's as much or more enjoyable then my MB GLC300 was. any tips or suggestions is appreciated...
Hey Anton congrats on the new car! Drive it hard :) I recommend taking a driving course if you have one nearby and they'll teach you how to safely get more enjoyment out of the car
@@shouldigetit Thanks , I bought it on impulse, my Sis has a base model and she seems satisfied , but I wanted the bigger motor. Hope I don't regret it?
What is the purpose of then side blades? Aesthetic?
Yes it’s just for the aesthetic. Good eye Steven
Very nice Porsche very Good Beautiful
Thank you for watching George! -Ben
Damn you are supper local to me. Like supper supper local. Love to see it.
You on the Morgan Hill or San Jose / Almaden side?
@@shouldigetit im at the corner of branham and almaden
What a car, I would love to have it as a daily !
Thank you for watching Will! How'd you find the video?
@@shouldigetit It was great !
Jeez I just watched this video again. How many times did I say "fantastic?"
You’re talking far too fast, I’m exhausted just listening to it. I think you took your hands off the wheel more times than you said fantastic!
@@andybutler560 Sorry Andy! I swear I've gotten better at car videos since this one. Also set the video speed to 0.75x or a custom speed if you find it too fast in any video, mine or otherwise.
Hesitating between a Macan GTS and a Range Rover Sport TDV6! any thoughts ?
Scotty Kilmer says Range Rovers are only good for the first 100k miles, so go with the Porsche..:)
My friend has a Macan GTS and it is literally the best all-rounder ever existed
Zakaria Bellot Porsche everyday. Resale is way better for a reason.
GTS anyday
Great review, thinking of getting the 2015 model, any major differences?
Thanks Adam! I believe the 2015-2017 are all very similar with the "differences" being that the 2015 didn't have 3-zone climate as standard (available option however) and the lock/unlock button positions were swapped fore 2016 and 2017. Good luck on your hunt for a Macan!
Should I Get It Reviews thanks, I’m in Australia so buying one 2nd hand makes a lot of sense. (We have a luxury car tax etc)
Also those differences don’t really concern me so 2015 model it is.
@@apb1441 Curious to hear more on that luxury car tax, how is it calculated?
Great choice! Enjoy it in great health
Should I Get It Reviews so that’s a lovely Australian tax that applies to most states, 33% as of 2019 for any value over $66,000 roughly, So yeah adds up quickly
2015 Macans sell for less then 65k second hand in Sydney usually
Worth buying 2015 Macan S 35k CAD?
Great vid lost of good info
Thank you for watching! Glad you like it Ygal
Thanks for the review. Really liked it as I just bought the same Macan S. Please though.... Porschaaaa not Porsch... Porsche...
Congratulations on the new car! Ok ok ok I'll be proper next time :)
@@shouldigetit LOL... bustin ya..
I want one, but it's 35k CAD.
That's cheap for a Macan S.
@@trihardcx6743 ikr! I'm in Alberta and I can't even find anything under 100km for less than 45k
If you own a RS3, s3, golf r, etc... This is not the car to upgrade to. You are better off upgrading to a rsq3 or a macan turbo, if you plan on going with a cross over/suv.
Is this from personal experience? Totally see where you're coming from but also could switch the word "upgrade" to "move" and I'd say if you're okay with slowing down a bit you can move to a Macan S from an S3 or Golf R.
thanks man . literally wondering but dont know where to ask . 3am youtube comment help me .
Dave ThaBoss I have a 2019 Golf R DSG and it is so much fun. But it’s also comfortable and enjoyable for shopping or road trips.
@@mattmckay5054 Exactly. You can tune that to Stage 2 and your 0-60 will be something like 3.7 seconds.
Did you say its REAR wheel D, and then say ALL WHEEL DRIVE.?
When? It's AWD
In the beginning of the video ... I thought you said NOT all wheel DRIVE. ....@@shouldigetit
He's yummy!!
It's "POR-SCHE"
and if it breaks down out of warranty it's "POOR-ER" :D
Porsche doesn't stand behind the quality of their vehicles. Transfer 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.
