KZbin: How many Porsche reviews by Thomas do you want to see? Me: Yes

[@autogefuehl]

👍😎

[@BARATTI99]

Reason why I love the macan so much is the extraordinary value for money (it costs as much as a full-optional Velar D300!). You have a perfect and balanced blend of performance, agility, utility and comfort. Bigger SUVs miss the fun and agility part. This has everything you need.

[@Montcoffer]

Agree partially, but do you not feel from a value point of view Cayenne is better? With the Macan aging I cant help but feel its expensive for an older tech car??

[@bhavyasoni1245]

@@Montcoffer what do u mean?

[@konkombotis5549]

Thanks, Thomas, for another great Porsche review. Personally, I have test driven both the Macan S & GTS. Although both share the same engine, the GTS is tuned more for performance as you get a really fun small SUV to drive. You notice this difference when you have driven both. The GTS package (interior & exterior ) with the green stitching looks sensational & a pleasure to sit in, priced at around $16,000 AUD. Adding the panoramic glass roof is a nice look as well. Here in Australia, the GTS is the Macan to order & costs around $1000 AUD for each service for the first 5 years. You can also buy an extended warranty after 3 years. Thanks again for the upload. Happy motoring.

[@szbxa]

Thomas seems to be very inconsistent in his evaluation of rear seat legroom across his multiple Macan reviews. Sometimes he finds it good sometimes he finds it bad. Make up your mind Thomas!

[@blueryxfalls7949]

Tbh the space feel depends of the color ;)

[@funkyfin3023]

I sold my Macan Turbo for a BEV 3 months ago. I would not have bought the facelifted GTS. I prefer the 2 characters of the Turbo fast when you want it, quiet and comfortable when not. I’m not a fan of the centre console and plastic trim which shouts look at me. Turbo had a different buyer from the GTS and will be missed. I have already put a deposit down on the Macan EV so will have to put up with haptic capacitive switches everywhere unfortunately.

[@joshualemieux7534]

You can eliminate all the plastic with options so idk about that objection

[@Digiphex]

They say green is the hardest color to sell when they are used. But if you are leasing, I guess you can get a polarizing color.

[@TheINVG]

I like both!!!! The Macan and Thomas ❤️❤️❤️

[@jamesmcmurtry5351]

great reviews. I would vote go to the max. Make the car special if you are getting a Porsche. Otherwise save money and get Hundai or Toyota.

The exhaust crackling noise sounds so embarrassing. Like VW Golf tuning

[@gregs8685]

Yes it has gotten old.

[@BARATTI99]

Can’t understand why Thomas seems to be whining so much about the price of the Macan. Perhaps it isn’t worth the money? In full-optional spec, lots of premium diesel sedans and SUVs will equal the price of the Macan GTS. That says it all. The price is indeed very interesting imo.

[@Montcoffer]

Macan S & GTS both great cars, but the aging platform bothers me & makes me consider the Cayenne is a better long term solution, particularly in hybrid & with a face lift coming in 2022. I'm looking at a new car having just sold my 991. What's your thoughts Thomas? Q. what was the real world fuel economy for S & GTS?? Love you style on You Tube videos.

[@jamesblond1100]

If you dont need the rear space of the Cayenne, the Macan GTS is really a great car! Drives much more agile than the Cayenne... Facelift of Cayenne has been postponed to 2023 by the way.

[@skies44]

Thomas this GTS or The new 2024 GLC 43 Amg?

[@thomasjanssen9124]

Such a nice car. Porsche nailed it with this one! Of course the Cayman is the one to go if you want a classic sports car for purists (or an old 911, not the new one, I know some will hate me for that statement :-). But if you want something that does it all: comfy, sporty, luxurious and also great for long roadtrips with the family … I believe the Macan S is the sweet spot - just perhaps add the air suspension and there you go!

[@toughen2629]

how was the brake pedal feel? was it soft?

[@coolrkc]

Hi Thoms, did you know if we select the ACC option you to lose the Speed limit option, pay more, and get fewer features. I wasn't aware of that neither it was mentioned in the configurator, received my car without this feature. Pretty disappointed. Why would they do this!!

[@autogefuehl]

🤔

[@michaelh4484]

Thomas, do you think that they are not launching this update in Turbo guise because when the all new electric Macan arrives that it is going to be called the Turbo? I was thinking this might be the case because they will offer the ICE version along side the EV version

[@autogefuehl]

That could be

[@jak493]

Why does that sound so much better than a 911? If they can make the Macan sound that aggressive why not the 911? I know one is a flat 6 and the Macan a V6 but the 911 is so much quieter.

[@yankie1983]

30k more and still missing lots of options

[@glucia2223]

I was grappling with this. But my local Porsche dealer will sell for straight MSRP with no markup. My BMW dealership will not go less than MSRP. So the delta between the two was $10k. I went with the GTS. The M3 was awesome, but it doesn’t drive as comfortable as the GTS and it won’t depreciate as much in value. They’re both great cars.

[@autogefuehl]

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. Please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHCdKmCocZ5oqs In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which exact body part you would be murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzNdHSjppaSbqc Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

[@FrederikSpiegelhalder]

And Microfiber leads to Microplastic .... also the vegan alternatives have sometimes severe disadvantages. Genetically engineered soy, avocados that fly around the world, etc. It's very difficult for consumers to assess the total impact of a product on the entire environment (climate, water, animals, people). In the end, with a rapidly growing population, now above 7 billion, the global economy simply cannot be sustainable. As a side note, according to a friend that works at BMW, the most expensive leather available as an exclusive custom trim, is made from whale penis. Probably not merely a side product?

[@autogefuehl]

Microfibre from 100 % recyclables - or from natural materials. All already there or coming. Have u checked this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM
