2022 PORSCHE MACAN GTS - Floored.

[@dwnshft]

Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! Would you take this Macan GTS over a BMW X3M Comp?

[@ekgcanadianenthusiast9961]

YES. MACAN OVER X3 M

[@deanfisher1656]

No contest. GTS has the suspension, drive dynamics and balance. Bought one

[@glucia2223]

@@deanfisher1656 I am in this battle right now. Issue is, there is around a $25k difference and the BMW is CRAZY fast.

[@ads998]

I picked up my new Macan two weeks ago and have zero regrets. I did go with a heavily optioned S over the GTS, as it is more than enough performance for me. I really can't speak highly enough of this car. It is seriously shocking that this thing is a cool, calm and collected compact SUV when you want it to be, and an absolute demon in Sports + mode. There's nothing like it being produced by the competition.

[@DreaminRides]

How is it treating you after 3 months? There is a very nice Macan S at my local dealer that is calling my name haha! Just curious to see how its been going for you.

[@ImNotHarsh3]

Shocked you don't get more views on your videos = this is a great review! Love this car.

[@dwnshft]

Thanks 🙏

[@THEDOPEGAME]

Agreed. But, the “automotive review” segment of KZbin is very VERY saturated

[@dwnshft]

@@THEDOPEGAME yeah 🫠

[@billnorblat4047]

These also have the upgraded Tungsten Carbide coated "White" Porsche brakes. They're just painted red on the GTS.

[@keasenne]

This trim is just right.. ❤ Greens everywhere!!!👌🏽

[@Alex.AL_26]

Excellent review! can't wait to get my Macan S

[@siddm9633]

Mine arrives in 2 weeks and I am so excited.

[@Toaster20000]

The seats can be cooled as an option. However if the seats are the race Tex option it is not possible.

[@capaldi328]

Just got my 22 GTS a little over a month ago. Been in the shop for two weeks. Creaking and clunking from the subframe. Hopefully it gets fixed properly. Other than that, great car.

[@dwnshft]

Uh oh that’s not great

[@ziggy149]

How’d all that turn out? What was the problem?

[@capaldi328]

@@ziggy149 Fixed. It was the subframe bolts that weren't torqued down to spec. They replaced them. All good now.

[@ziggy149]

@@capaldi328 Very good. Thanks for hitting me back so quick. I’m close to making forward progress on ordering a GTS. I’m exploring the possibilities of some light towing at least a few times a year. I don’t need my F250 diesel for getting a photography display, big framed prints and tent to shows, but I WILL need an option. The times in between though - I’ll want to have lots of fun the rest of the time.

[@sueddo2634]

I wonder if that's common, I had the exact same issue and resolution.

[@lasersailor6684]

You can spec some of those tech features you said were missing. It just depends on the build of your tester.

[@nogroove3819]

Nice review. I have a 2017 Macan gts with a 100,000 km (Canadian eh). Starting to think about replacing next year which made me watch your sq5 video which then led me to this video. Decisions! Thx for the reviews.

[@dwnshft]

lol glad I've got content on a couple cars for ya!

[@hannafordfitness1568]

Great vehicle! I wish Porsche would reevaluate the front grill. Liked the previous GTS grill

[@samzedd]

Hi...floored means?

[@billnorblat4047]

Best daily driver ever.

[@johnsashko7048]

Best vehicle ever😎

[@ibenconsulting6286]

FYI…Those are Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB)

[@billnorblat4047]

The ride is incredible

[@UnknownTheProducer]

Is this white or Carrera White Metallic?

[@LemonPerez]

Thank u

[@BarryMakariou]

Have 2018 GTS tried to upgrade but these were up for £99k at dealerships!

[@billnorblat4047]

If you spend some money and use your head, you can also spec these to be very luxurious

[@snapunderst33r]

Nice intro!

[@dnice362]

I love Porsche, all Porsches but this or an X5 m would be tough choice for me

[@Alex.AL_26]

The Porsche is way better in terms of handling, steering feel and ride quality.

[@johnsashko7048]

[@mspeed2441]

Testing equipment.

[@biggestcookie1787]

Picking up my GTS on Wednesday

[@dwnshft]

Niiiccceee😎

[@gambler159]

I have to wait till February 😩

[@MuscleBackBullz]

@@gambler159did you get it ?

[@zyzzbrah4631]

Hey I just picked a new one up this weekend at the porsche store. Where can I adjust the steering force? It feels very stiff, like more stiff and all the other cars that I have driven. Thanks

[@salimrandall]

Having a taste of Porsche/Audi electronics. Should you keep one out of warranty?

[@dwnshft]

Hard to say since all I had was a week with the car and it was brand new

[@namehiddenforprivacy713]

Check for ABS Speed Sensor fault.

[@CraigK80]

There’s no R in Macan! It’s Macan not Macarrrrrrrrn ffs how many times 😂 now pass me my carn of beer 🍺

[@johnyacoub69]

He’s pronouncing it correctly, and he’s not putting an r sound in there.

[@CraigK80]

@@johnyacoub69 nope, he’s clearly pronouncing it Macarn. Hear it in the first 30 seconds of the video. Should be Macan, like Can, Pan, Fan, tan and even your best mate Dan 😉

[@dnice362]

But this is probably closer in price to the X5M no?

[@dwnshft]

👍

[@huggybear5167]

If you didn't choose the green GTS trim with the yucky racetex, you could've got a real leather steering wheel with ventilated leather seats and a giant sunroof that actually opens.

[@warrenw8705]

Racetex is great. Derived from motorsports, more neutral than leather, and not sourced from a dead animal.

[@ZeroTheCloud]

Oh noooo, don't tell me hamburgers come from a dead animal? How bout shoes? Next thing you know you will discover that houses are made from dead trees!@@warrenw8705

[@snowytrail2367]

Sunroof adds over 100lbs in the worst possible place, luckily it's optional.

[@ianmichael8117]

The Racetex interior is vastly superior both in looks and, contrary to some doubters, durability.

[@TheAnubite]

the GTS is not the entry level SUV trim

[@grod9976]

"This a entry level suv" WHAT? LOL This is not a base... its a GTS. That is NOT entry level by any means. It's the top trim... lol

[@YumboYack2521]

I mean relative to the rest of Porsches lineup it’s considered entry level, not demeaning it in anyway.

[@mots1021]

Note- android auto is not even an option for 2022 or 2023 model.

[@cyanprince00]

Thought i heard it might finally be added..guess not. If no current models have it then we'll have to wait until the Macan ev comes out or something. Will they retro-fit, update ur PCM to include it?

[@isimonsez]

Android ? 🤮

[@GethinJames]

I hate that this is a crossover. The styling I'd just so vanilla. Yawn. Yes performance etc great but SUV not great. More sedans please. No more suv's.

[@dwnshft]

used panameras are STEALS right now

[@SCraig-Handsome]

But if you live in a cold climate you can’t use a sedan or hatchback in the winter… and the GTS is a car when you want it to be and a SUV when you want it

[@GRamerDim]

​@@SCraig-Handsome why exactly I can't use hatchbacks or sedans in the winter?

[@petrudumitrasculuxuryart926]

Maserati Grecale locks better .

[@cyanprince00]

Thats literally a copy/inspiration of the Macan..the top of the line trim of the grecale starts at 100k, not much to compare here. Even with Porsche pricing the Macan GTS is the most value-bang choice. Looks are subjective tho, the Grecale and many other crossover suvs take the body shape of the macan

[@isimonsez]

Uh no

[@lancereyesromero7811]
