Love this car so much I bought one and now vlog about it. Almost went with an Evoque because of looks but after test driving both I realized the evoque was extremely under powered and did not have enough power to be a mid size SUV. The Macan S, GTS and Turbi variants instead are extremely faster than the evoque counter part making you feel a true Sports compact SUV that in my opinion is the best handling in its class and there is nothing I’ve test driven in its price or range that can outclass it.

My Cayenne has done so well here in the Colorado winters. What's off-roading to you guys? And yes, you can have the best of both worlds. From the shops to the red-light drag races, the Turbo is perfect. Finally, if you were to choose the Evoque over this, you'd be visiting the dealership shop very frequently. Porsche was rated the safest and most reliable car brand in the world not too long ago.

The Evoque on the other hand was the least well executed design of the group and suffered many issues going into gear after robust driving, that being said the Evoque has one of the best off road set ups in class, that being said most people will not be off roading their Evoque. Macan #1 Audi#2 BMW#3 GLK 350 #$! Evoque a rightfully deserved #5.

Evoque is a nice car and has great lines, yet what is the quality like? Judging from history I would always choose the Porsche, one gets dependability, sports car looks and performance and great resale value. I would suggest to check the sales numbers, Macan versus Evoque. In terms of off road capability, really? Get serious, 99% of us urban cowboys never, ever takes this vehicle or an Evoque off road. The SUV design provides great ride, 4 wheel drive, especially handy in climates with wintery conditions, good looks and occasional can pull a boat trailer. I purchased a Macan S recently and other cars I looked just didn’t have the features, beautifully finished cabin and performance. FYI, I looked at Cadillac XT5, Mercedes GLC and BMW X5.

The Evoque is a small 4-cylinder SUV, that stands for luxury, elegance and serious off-road capability. I agree the Porsche Macan is an incredible all-around SUV, but at 4.7m, it isn't a city SUV anymore. Another detail is the bland styling. The F-pace will be the JLR direct competition for the Macan, with more emphasis in driving dynamics, 4.7m and bigger engines.

Ok, this is coming from a BMW 335i sedan owner (f30). I think the material quality in the 3 series is a little below the Porsche's. Porsche generally builds very solid vehicles with lots of tech, which is why they're usually more expensive than competitors. My 2013 3 series also has the occasional rattle and squeak and the use of plastic is excessive. I also think the Macan looks ten times sportier and aggressive than the 3 series touring or sedan. The leather options offer leather wrapped dash and the layout of the cabin looks like an airplane cockpit. I haven't driven the Macan so I can't tell you about handling, but I'm just judging based off of looks and quality. I love my 335i but it's just not comparable to the Macan. They're in different leagues. I see the 3 series as more of a practical and fun car while the Macan feels more like a premium small SUV for people with a family. In the end, the 335i comes with optional 6 speed manual so it'll always win in my book. I'd only get a Macan if I got a salary increase and 2 kids.

F31 335 xi owner here, after I test drive macan.. I kinda regret going for 335.. Don't get me wrong, I love bmw. Just that when you compare build quality between macan and 335... There is a huge gap between them. How it drives? That trans is amazingly fast( which I used to think bmw 8spd is the best of both worlds) and plus the more capable off road capability? It's not like you need them, but def good to have. The prices are not that far away from 335 either!
@richieasian10 жыл бұрын
Albert Hu Okay, I'm not that aware of Macan pricing, but isn't it roughly $20,000 more than the 335i? My almost fully loaded 335i came out to $58,000 MSRP. I thought a nice Macan Turbo would be near $90,000?

Can be modified to make them have ground clearance for off-road. This means the Cayenne,Macan, Audi Q7, the new Ford Explorer, Subaru Outback, Ford Edge, Lexus RX line, RR Evoque, Mercedes M, GLK, and R class to just name several are all CUV's because they all utilize uni-body structure and use a sedan platform.

As it stands, its difficult for me to view their SUVs and anything more than breathed on Audis, engines included

Having 2 different size tires might be pretty clever from a pure performance perspective. But.... you can't do proper balance and rotates and matching both the fronts and backs to the same make and model of tire can be a bitch. However, if you spend this much money on a car or suv I guess burning a 1000+ for a set of tires more often isn't that big of deal. To me though in terms on styling I just don't think the classic Porsche styling works in suv form. Kind of like the Mazda. Their Kodo styling looks good on the CX-5 but doesn't look all that appealing to me on their cars. Don't get me wrong the Macan looks good. Just not my cup of tea.

Not the nicest thing to look at but then most Porsche's are not apart from the Cayman, the Evoque is a stunning design from the front however Land Rover buyers won't buy this and vise versa.
