Great video! Having gone from a GTS to this Turbo, something that people might not realise, when comparing PCP finance deals between the GTS and Turbo (spec dependent!), due to differences in residuals they both come out fairly similar on finance. Turbo will work out only 2-3k more expensive across 3 years rather than the 10k “cash” price difference.

@@visionist7 - You're dead right about the "daft stuff" you can order from Porsche for your car. You can buy a £50k Porsche and easily end up spending another £30k on it. That being said. Porsche may not be the fastest cars on the road, but they're certainly one of the best, if not, the best, you can buy. Name me another car brand where you can do multiple, back to back "launch control" starts and the car just wants more? :-))... My comment I posted for the Mecan was the fact that you can hoon it around a track in the morning and in the afternoon, take if off roading.

Porsche doesn't stand behind the quality of their vehicles. The 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.
@DiscoFang2 жыл бұрын
Interesting. Was just looking at a used Macan that an independant dealer has and they said the transfer case had just been replaced by the main dealer. One reason to buy Porsche for me is the apparent quality. Am really considering the Cayenne after realising the external size difference is almost nothing.
@Michael-ub9jb2 жыл бұрын
@@DiscoFang the Cayenne also has transfer case issues for years 2015-2018. Porsche extended the transfer case warranty on Cayennes to 10 years, only 7 years on Macan. The replacement transfer case warranty is only 1 year. I had a Cayenne as a loaner for 9 weeks while my Macan waited for parts during pandemic. Loved it! If I were to buy another Porsche it would be a Cayenne GT coupe. The size difference is more than you might realize. The Cayenne clearly took up more space in my garage. Interior dimension difference is significant.

6juliuserving True due to Porsche’s price level. But Macans don’t turn heads im sorry. S, gts or turbo a common person cannot tell the difference. They are everywhere- as common as x3s are and probably more common then x3M tbh (granted x3m is newer model) Macan is entry into the Porsche brand but unless you are talking about 911s-macans or cayennes really don’t turn heads . Macans price range (50k-100k USD) makes it pretty much an equal to its competitors of bmw/Audi/Benz 911s tho,or even Carmen gts, now we are talking about true Porsches :)
