I don't like crossovers, but Macan is one of the best in my opinion

[@stephen300o6]

We should ask someone who likes them.

[@scuffediceposeidon9178]

I don't like them either and I'm from Germany. Most people use them 100% in urban areas and never go offroading

[@alexmercer8042]

@@scuffediceposeidon9178 Well its not an offroad vehicle. Has 4x4, you can go a bit off the road but nothing truly offroad about it.

As a Massachusetts native who recently drove California mountains the first time... their roads definitely made me jealous too.

[@briansweeney2342]

Rbu if you want roads like the California mountains go to New Hampshire, some the road like the kangamangus highway can be even better

[@alexanderpeter219]

@@briansweeney2342 I live in southeastern Massachusetts, but when you do a little exploring over in the white mountains the green mountains of Vermont you realize, sure it’s no Italian switchback but there are some pretty good driving roads.

[@spooksmagee]

As an old man now in my 30's, Macans get more and more appealing to me every day. It seems like a near perfect one car solution to the "haul all my stuff but also fun for back road blast" conundrum. Now I just gotta start making enough money to afford one, lol 😅

[@tarekhafza7201]

Watching this reminded me how much Im gonna miss the roads when I move away from California

[@sbfhawk4343]

I have the GTS and drove it up to Julian For the weekend for a Wedding. I am able to tell you that its very curvy and Sport Mode is required. I put it into just sport mode not Sport Plus and I was hashing it out with a motorbike if that tells you anything. I mean it felt as quick and agile as my CRX and powerful and well balanced like my Supra. It has the Stick and the Grip to keep you planted and that AWD Keeps you glued to every turn.

[@RedheadButNotReally]

On one hand, this is one of the most beautiful roads I've ever seen. On the other hand, I would never in my life consider actually living in California. Not with _my_ budget. o-o

[@Dcc357]

Not even with tons of money. All of it will be taken by tax.

You've picked a hard road for POV when you have Farah at TST taking those corners at 60.

[@TedwardDrives]

Tst doesn’t show speed

[@joeleonard9965]

@@TedwardDrives That's a good point. And they haven't been driving those roads much recently either so I'll take some of that back as well.

[@TedwardDrives]

Not totally sure what the implication was haha. Like was I supposed to go flat out in the clouds with 50 feet visibility?

[@joeleonard9965]

@@TedwardDrives Honestly I don't want to critique much more because I love your videos. (Given that Farah drove those blind corners for years, I can't expect you to do the same on a brand new road.)

[@slaWterCH]

Piuma was also my first road in the Malibu region. Oh man, brings back so many great memories! Really enjoyed this video!

[@alolanstarboy]

Man this is great. A really nice change of scenery from the usual roads in your videos and what a change too! From straight highways and back roads to scenic California canyon roads. You might just have to extend your stay to do POV drives in a bunch more cars worth roads like these 👀

[@robertheger9048]

Yes, please everybody stay away from California ! You are clogging my roads, haha....

move to california man. living in la not only do you have malibu but you will also have angeles crest, azuza canyon and the list goes on

[@yiwengracing9191]

Woahhhh !! The PDK Fart sound soo good

[@EnderUA09]

Looks like Stelvio's steering is more sharp than Macan's. Huge angles needed to turn the car as I see. Can you compare the steering feel after QV?

[@JMartinni]

"this is more of a road review" Speaks volumes about the car if it let's you enjoy those amazing roads this much though. :)

[@Freeway_k]

Your videos like this are so peaceful

[@RichardinNC1]

I would say CA needs Malibu Canyon to make up for all the I-5 traffic. I'm fortunate to be in NC near the mountains. Not as dramatic views but plenty of great roads. Not just the Tail of the Dragon or Blue Ridge Parkway but all of the roads climbing the mountains to get there. You can ascend and descend them all day long.

[@danieleregoli812]

Hey Ted, if that's the sort of roads you crave, you should go to Sardinia (Italy): the island is breathtakingly beautiful, with amazing beaches and a very empty, very spectacular, very wild interior. The roads are a driver's dream: curvy, empty, well-paved, with amazing views either on valleys, canyons, or the amazing coastline.

[@PurpleMoonCats]

ware is this place Tedwaed because im going too go there too look at the carvery roads at 5:38

[@javianjohnson8746]

California seems to have the absolute best roads for scenery

[@gabrielshouse6142]

Thank you sooo much for taking us along for the ride! It looks like an absolute dream to drive those roads not to mention the jaw dropping views.

[@jaddarwish1400]

Whats the name of this road?

Ah so the chase car now out in LA haha. The jeep too slow :) lol prob would explode over 55mph

[@hansschneider6599]

Finally. More porche!!!!!!!!

[@petergeorge4161]

Having grown up in Malibu, definitely had friends who had accidents up in the canyons. 2 acquaintances died when a car pulled out of one of the side canyon streets without checking for traffic. That being said canyon driving is never what scared me, it was driving on PCH in the summer when you get tourists who I can't even think on a level low enough to understand what they were trying to do driving around.

[@TedwardDrives]

Pch was just people texting and paying zero attention. Insanity

[@petergeorge4161]

@@TedwardDrives ​ Watched your vid because I just finished driving, glc 63mg, x3m, macan gts, and jag f-pace svr... I ended up ordering the Jag. However, your takes on the Macan were spot on. Easily the best handling, and overall packaging. It really came down to Macan v Jag for me, and I've made peace with the fact it won't be nearly as nimble in my favorite canyons as the Macan, but on my daily commute I get to listen to that old v8 rumble and I just can't but smile. That and the Macan can get outrageously expensive when start playing the option game :)

[@cameronsamayoa2829]

I just heard about the Macan getting sideswiped! Luckiest and easiest bust!

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

I like Macans but with ridiculous Porsche pricing why would I choose this over an F pace SVR or GLC63.

Good to see you in Cali. Any plans to head to the bay area?

[@TedwardDrives]

Unfortunately just SoCal this trip

[@MrGaryGG48]

@@TedwardDrives I don't know how much flexibility or control you have over your trips but if you do get up to the Bay Area one of these days, set aside an early morning (too many tourists later in the day!) and try to get in a run from Mill Valley (North end of the Golden Gate Bridge) on Hwy 1 up the Marin and Sonoma County coast to Jenner. The roads are a lot like what you saw on PCH but much more remote. I've lived about 20 minutes east of Bodega Bay for a bit more than the last 50 years and learned that road on a 1967 Yamaha YR1 Cafe Racer. I was stationed on Treasure Island at the Navy Electronics School in 1967/68 and just had to take that coast road home every Friday afternoon. I switched from Yamaha hot rods to BMWs in 1969 and guess what... these things have doors and you can't fall down!! Cool!! After learning just how far you can get your knees down on Hwy 1 you can scare the crap out of your buddies in a really capable car. I've had a lot of fun over the years, on that road.

[@wayobayo]

@@TedwardDrives highway 9 in santa cruz!!

[@jams_world81]

Don’t forget about the GLA45 AMG for something that’s still practical and lots of fun on drives in Race mode. 375hp stock for previous gen, new gen has 385 I believe with the new M139 engine

[@omarkhanlilcurry]

I got the Macan base at 24 last July, it was the only one I could qualify for at my age and credit history :)!! But I hope to get a faster porsche soon!! For right now, I have a fancy Audi Q5 , but that PDK is zippy!! I’m yearning for true Porsche power

[@rodsalvador3608]

Welcome to LA! Driving in LA is usually hell on earth but the canyons are good. Great road! I've never driven that canyon myself. Also try Angeles Crest (entrance off the 210 freeway). If you're still here next week, make sure to visit south OC Cars & Coffee San Clemente on Saturday morning at 9a, one of the better C&C's in the region.

[@TTGamingTrinh]

im going to visit Los Angeles in 2 weeks. might need to hit this canyon up

[@blitzy3244]

You should drive up Stunt Road then come down Piuma

[@kurthvonneguth]

We have an empty guest room about 40min north of there... Come for the winter, the only payment required will be rips in the M3 and any press car you have during the stay :)

you should go on trips more often, the change of scenery is nice

spot on about the northeastern jealously haha living in NY the roads are really worth it 3% of the time and the other 97% Is riddled with potholes and bad drivers never felt happier hustling a rental dodge caravan in the cali backroads lol

[@doomerconsumer]

UGH those roads looks spectacular! What an experience and what a great car to do it in!

[@williamk1800]

This or RS5 Sportback if you had to choose one as your sporty daily?

[@cameronkeogh4177]

I would go RS5 Sportback without a doubt. Super practical as it has a hatch so it’s close in cargo space to the macan (albeit missing a little of that vertical space that the Macan has), really fast (more powerful and lighter than the Macan), more sporty and better handling as it’s a sedan, better bang for buck when it comes to features, and it’s not a cross over which is for better or worse depending on the person.

I actually did rent a Macan Turbo on Turo a couple years ago, and it was a blast! Managed to find some twisty roads, too, and it is fun to chuck it around. It handles really well. Now, I just need to get out to these beautiful California roads with something fun to drive one day.
