Just what the world needs. Another SUV 🚙

My sister has a Macan S. Slick little ride

[@SuicidalWarhead]

I'm so happy and relieved that the Macaques doesn't replace the 911. As a more practical car or even daily it's a very good choice I think.

Nick you should make a farewell video for your lovely Golf before you donate it! Hopefully this Macan serves you better than some of your past Macan loaners :3

I admire your forgiveness of the Porsche brand. I'd be too scarred if I'd had your experiences! Great spec on the Macan btw, looks 👌👌👌

[@Suction_]

Calling it now, if this one becomes a lemon like the other 2 Porsche's, they have a vendetta against you. Good choice getting off the floor instead of ordering. This way they had no idea it's going to you lol

I love porsche, but after 2 lemons I would be very very hesitant to buy one!

[@Suction_]

[@head911]

Congrats Nick!!! Got one in march with almost the same spec as yours. Looks really nice!! We are very happy with our Macan as a family car, perfect next to our 991.2 GTS(your favorite)

[@dsp1970]

Congrats on the new Macan S Nick! Really nice addition and sure Tui is very happy with new ride!! Use it well and drive safe!

[@vanceshaw3675]

I agree w Nick on Macan Turbo. It’s a very higher performance vehicle. It “only” has 35 HP more than the GTS but it feels like 35% more. I suspect Porsche is VERY conservative with its numbers. You can feel it immediately as you touch the throttle. The extra power transforms the vehicle.

[@bradw922]

Nick, get the new Boxster Spyder, when it comes out. Perfect combo with this new Macan S

[@V1RT8]

Nick, I think you made the right choice for the car you will use to tow your next 911 😂

[@MarshallPaisner]

Congrats! You will be remarkably pleased with your choice. The Macan S, with your options, is probably the sweet spot for Porsche value. Enjoy! Tui please don't play with the center console buttons!

[@RN-lo6ti]

I can’t wait for long term reviews on this. I want to buy this badly.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Macan is a great place to be Nick, I expect you'll enjoy it enough to trade up to a miami blue GTS variant in the fullness of time.

[@NickMurray]

Roger Bailey say no to drugs Roger! 😆

[@Only-one-life-68]

Hi Roger as a guy in Uk I’ve got the 2018 macan gts in Rivera blue it’s lovely. Usually have a RR SPORT in the SUV but this macan is just special I also believe the quality is far far better than JLR

[@iokone47]

“Slight” update on the VW Golf 😅 Nicely done Nick. Congrats on the Macan 👌

[@axelhofmann4897]

You will not regret this deal. I bought my Macan years ago following your advise after the review of your parent‘s Macan in New Zealand - never had a problem, still love it!

[@AutoAmateur]

That Mecan S is going to look great alongside your 992. 🤭

[@john_p]

[@borisi.9327]

Wonder how long until they have to buy this one back?

[@paulpak1]

"...got the Panoramic roof...Don't know if I'd ever open it..." 😂 😂 😂 Nice car, Nick! Quite an upgrade from the Golf. Well done.

[@piperbob2]

I finally took possession of my new Macan S on 4th May (in the U.K.), after putting a deposit down in February 2018 - so a wait of 15 months ! But it was worth waiting for - five weeks now, of very enjoyable driving. Mine is in Dolomite Silver (as at 5:22 in your video here), which I like very much. Most of the Macans and Cayennes I see on the road are black, so I wanted something different. Hope you enjoy your new Macan as much as I am, Nick !

[@Harpreet06]

What was the problem with the Jag I-Pace? Personally I'd go for a Macan too but just wondering.

[@MrEli204]

As an owner of a Macan S who uses it as a daily driver in New England I would recommend the 19in wheels over the 20in. More sidewall makes for a smoother ride over crummy roads and more tractable in the winter.

[@ItisBean]

I am so happy for you or maybe for myself (more Porsche videos!) 😚

[@shelloiluk]

Great stuff Nick. I have a Volcano Grey 2017 Macan S Diesel here in the UK and I love it awesome car and sooo comfortable just a wonderful wonderful daily. I’m always opening the panoramic roof FYI. As a weekend car for noise I have a cheap 2006 987 Boxster lovely little car and exhaust sound from a 6 cylinder. And the mrs has a Golf TSi 1.4 for when I want to feel like a kid again or going to the tip. I have my life sorted. Good luck with the new job and congrats on the Macan S.

[@mozza7189]

It’s no slouch though 6 cylinders, 340bhp, 460nm and nought to 62 in 5.4 seconds

[@brianiswrong]

Replaces a worn golf with a brand new macan S. That's a decent flex Nick.

[@jeromelangenderfer8853]

Looking forward to the gt3rs video and the 18-19 macan s comparison. Thanks Nick

[@trevourmcgoon8499]

Not a bad 2nd car Nick! Really like the panoramic sunroof perfect for the lovely NZ climate

[@shadboutine7081]

Congrat Nick, it's a beauty! I had an S as a loaner recently and I loved it. Keep up the great work.

[@edyb2653]

Great buy, Nick. As your second car, of course. A small remark... you were talking about the engines of the Macan S. The engine power would be more noticeable, you said, in the S Diesel, Turbo etc. Turns out Porsche said recently they would stop producing Diesel cars altogether. And that goes for all models, Macan, Cayenne and Panamera. They made that decision because of all the discussions over here in Europe on diesel cars. Diesels are being banned more and more. If you have one in Europe, you’ll have a difficult job selling it. With all but the newest diesels, you are already prohibited entering cities like Paris, Madrid, Frankfurt and so on. Hence the decision made by Porsche. Okidoki, thx for the vid Nick. A pleasure, as always! Cheers, Irwin

[@NickMurray]

Edy B yes I am looking forward to the EV Macan that replaces it

[@denniswagner3962]

Nice. For me the allure of the Macan as a daily is the easy ingress/ egress. You have to be 6’4” like I am to understand.

[@jo05dk]

When i came acrioss this channel you were about to buy, or had just bought, the M4. A car i really don't care for (i did love the colour of it though). Now you're letting the Golf go, and that's my favourite of the cars you've owned..and you're replacing it with a SUV. I don't know about you Nick.. Anyways: It looks really good in that colour. By far the prettiest of this size SUVs, to my eyes. I guess you learn to live with the soulless sound of a turbo V6 instead of the fantastic five cylinder, after a while. It's a practical car after all. You deserve praise for holding on to the Golf for so long :)

[@vanceshaw3675]

I get massive compliments on our Sapphire Blue Macan Turbo. In NY City. Nick I think the burbs must be very fashion deficient!

Tough times Nick. The Porsche Macan is my new camera car! 👍 The Macan S is very Metro-sexual a good fit.

[@hangnguyen-lh8kw]

Nick- I suggested this car. I have the 2018 Macan S with the same color and wheels and most of the options. One option I love that I didn’t hear you mention is the 360 assist - very helpful when parking. Anyway can’t wait for you to compare the 2018 and 2019 Macan S.

[@ashleylemmer8016]

Congrats Nick, enjoy! In terms of colours, I have found that a light colour just makes a big car look bigger and this is made worse if the car has a round and smoothed shape. I have in the past chosen dark colours to hide black plastics. In terms of air suspension, it could come down to whether you will use it on gravel roads on a weekend. I mountain bike here in South Africa, so would want the plusher ride.

[@myaccount__7269]

Congrats Nick. Great video and I’m happy you didn’t have to wait months to get it . Also good on you donating golf to a friend, you are an awesome human being (we will ignore the kiwi bit for now). 😂

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Congrats Nick, I assumed you were getting another hatchback,. Nice. How is the back seat leg room, as you know, we are the same height, can a 6 foot person sit behind your seating position ?

[@odl21]

I love that the new Macan has the steering wheel mounted sport knob. You might think it’s pointless but it’s one of two features I really miss on my old shape macan PP. having to look down and hit sport or sport plus before passing on twisty roads is a real pain. My 991.2 gts has the knob and I use it all the time. The second feature I miss that the new Macan has is the heated front screen

[@JohnPaulYT]

Well done Nick! Looking forward to what goes into the other side of the garage...👍

[@Corsa15DT]

Today I bought PlayStation Classic. Then I checked KZbin and saw that Nick bought a Porsche.

2.0 turbo "but when you add 1200lbs" I was like did you get a girlfriend. . . lol.

[@scotto8199]

Yeah we are gonna need to see a launch.

[@russwright]

Air suspension + PASM gives you extra height as well (9" clearance), at least on prior gen, so it's more than ride quality. No PTV? You have snow and it is supposed to be nice feature for any slippery surface.

[@mickpov4708]

Love it man! Congratulations on your new daily!🙌🏼 also perfect for the winter here in CT.

[@scootertooter6874]

You're killin me, Nick...I made the mistake of "letting" my wife test drive a Macan S about 9 months ago. She wanted one then. Now she REALLY wants one. Thanks, buddy!

[@cotswoldmusings]

I wish you’d done a video on your views with Jaguar I-Pace, which I loved in context of current crop EV’s.

[@thefridgeman]

How to make sure there are less Porsche SUV on the road? Easy. Nick buys them all and with his luck, they get to be returned and removed off the road in 1-2 years max, from which at least 12 months will be spent at the dealership, trying to get repaired.

[@alexisinla9943]

Nick-I think your voice changed several octaves at the mention of "Sport Chrono!"

[@yoyo11177]

Congrats on the new Porsche Nick. Lovely spec on the Macan. On PASM, i was just flipping through another old 959 article, can't believe the first PASM was used in the 80s.

[@tbone1493]

Had a Macan loaner the other day, really nice car. Love the seating position, unlike most SUV's where they seats are too high the Macan allows to you lower them where you feel your in the car and not on top of it.

[@edwowen]

PASM and Air is fantastic, if an expensive option. Rides brilliantly.

[@limulus61]

I agree. I had a 2017 Macan GTS and I kept the suspension slammed down low. I just liked the look of it lowered. The GTS also came with PSE and I always kept the valves open. I think it sounded very nice.

[@john_p]

another porsche so soon! .. what a masochist! 😂

[@porsche911luv9]

I drove my friends macan S and it is a fast fun compact suv. I can see this being a blast to drive at all times. congrats!

[@gregorytrane7828]

Been a BMW owner of different models and Mercedes as well for 20 years. Always wanted a Porsche. The Macan would be my first choice. I've bought new (2017) and own my first American vehicle in 40 years for utility, the Silverado and will keep it because it runs strong with no issues but will buy this later as a second vehicle for pure driving enjoyment, recreation and pleasure. Good review.

[@cvn6555]

That's a great color. I drove a Macan loaner last week in that color and thought it looked fantastic. The Macan S is the sweet spot in that line. The base Macan is not quick at all. The big "T" turbo is much more money for performance that most of us will never exploit. Hope this one works well for you.

[@sbpwjm]

Small counter point, I absolutely love the blades in the exterior color. I think it goes back to my younger days when I spent time dealing with all the black plastic trim pieces on my cars growing up. Keeping all that black plastic shiny or at least not faded was a slog. Put the blades on in exterior color and no more fading black plastic to deal with - textured black plastic mind you.

[@frizzobayern9476]

Nick really has a good taste on cars

[@18echosf]

Hi Nick, do you know when to expect the new Macan turbo?

[@tayl0rd553]

I disagree about the brighter color statement. We have a Cayenne Turbo S in Sapphire Blue Metallic, and it's a head turner; especially with the black accents and black Sport Classic wheels. Then again, people may be looking in shock at seeing a Cayenne in something other than white or some shade of gray. Anyway, congrats on the Macan. If we didn't need to tow a boat, the Macan Turbo would've been high on our list.

Comfertable cruiser, excellent handling sports car in sport or sport plus, and raises up in off road mode. Then turn on sport plus and use launch control to school sports cars at the stop lights 😆. Congrats. Join the Macan FB group.
