    Since this video is 2 years old i might not get a reply from you or the community. Im looking at getting a Macan, but dont know whether to go for S, GTS, or TURBO. I know you said the S is ideal all round but looking at the bhp difference im really after the GTS or TURBO bhp. But is it really worth the money? Thanks

      If your budget allows a GTS is a wild ride, personally I wouldn't pay the huge premium for the Turbo myself.

    So, used Macan S, from official Porsche dealership should be fine? (extended 4 year warranty)

    • @boomdaus
      @boomdaus 2 года назад +4

      Yeah I would say so. In the UK porsche come with a 111 point inspection and 2 year porsche warranty, and at least 3mm of tread. I would personally upgrade the warranty to 3 years on purchase as most porsche centers charge around £200 during a minor service to do the checks the for warranty extension.
      Transfer box, and air suspension air the only common things to go wrong. Air suspension goes wrong on every car that has it so stick to main dealer warranty and low miles for air suspension.
      The 4th year service will need spark plugs and the 6th will need pdk fluid and filter.

      I'd go for a 2019 or newer if you can. The timing chain cover leak is no joke at $10k for the fix, for 2015-2018, which may return anyways...my friend's 2015 Turbo did. First one happened under factory warranty though.

    Informative video with a lot of useful info. Richard. Thanks very much. I am looking at a 2017 Porsche Macan (Premium package) that's got about 58K miles on it and it's a Turbo. Do you have any suggestions?

    I had a transfer box failure at 30,000 miles. Porsche main dealers refused to fix. That’s why I’d never buy anything from them. Use a specialist instead.

    • @Albobbybq

      They couldn’t refuse when the brand offered replacement under warranty because it was a known defect

    • @Ac22768
      @Ac22768 2 месяца назад +2

      I don’t believe you. Also - It’s called a transfer case, not transfer box. It’s very telling that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
      Powertrain warranty has mileage and year expiration. If it was proven to not be your fault, and should have been covered (i.e. still within your warranty terms) then you should have consulted an attorney instead of posting here on RUclips.

    Which optional extras would you consider essential when buying? Sports chrono? Sports exhaust?

    • @homiefizzle5260

      Sports Chrono for sure, even if you don't use it it's good for resale.

    The S is great, but are we just gonna skip right over the GTS? I spent some time behind the wheel of an S and was happy, so I went and bought a fully optioned GTS.

    • @thomashelm6931
      @thomashelm6931 4 месяца назад

      I have test driven four different 2015 Macans. I'm close to buying a turbo with premium package. Had a pre-purchase inspection and it looks like I'm going ahead with it. It really seems to depend, from car to car. I'm checking out the service history and it has been serviced by Porsche dealership. I'm concerned about the transfer case, although no problems are detecting.
      I'm definitely purchasing an extended warranty package. Shop around independently for that, as the dealerships are way too high in price. Good luck!

    Glad I didn't get one. I found one 2018 macan S with 53,200 miles for $36,700. It was in Preston condition inside and out. And had lots of add ons. The original owner paid 73K. Then I heard about the oil leak issues models 2018 and below had. I love German cars. But their expensive repairs and unreliability keeps me away. Are model years 2019 and newer safer buys? I really want one
