Just purchased 2016 diesel and the attention I get is epic. For a budget sports suv.

[@tonymiller3182]

Well done! Excellent, pretty well spot-on review, no silly histrionics. I own the Diesel S and fitted it with a TDUK tuning box which gives 310 bhp & 44 mpg on a long run. I've a sports exhaust, but not something I'd bother with again. Agree with the panoramic roof and PASM, but personally, I wasn't too bothered with air suspension on the one I tried. I had Sports Chrono on my old Boxster, but you're right about that - not worth it on a road car.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks for your comment. I just went with the flow on this one. Comparing it to my own with hiw I felt it compared. Tuning boxes are great for a plug and play power upgrade. I've used bluespark boxes in the past!

[@sidekick078]

hi Tony, doubt you'll see this message, I used to have a Macan s d and got rid of it because of how bad it was on diesel, would not even see 40 on the run and I drive like miss daisy, was 44 easily achievable? also what wheels were you running on yours

[@user-el2zj3pw5r]

Tduk tuning box😂 any measured improvement? 😂😂

[@martincraggs1162]

You convinced me to get one, pick up my 17 plate diesel S on Friday. I’m well exited! I test drove on Saturday and fell in love😅

[@adambashford6827]

Nice one. How’s the sat nav? My wife wants one but I saw a review saying how shocking it was.

[@martincraggs1162]

@@adambashford6827 it’s got CarPlay so I don’t use it at all.

[@bradleyerasmus1961]

Very useful and honest review, bud!

[@thaumaturgeishere331]

My only regret when I spec'ed my diesel S was not getting seat cooling, which still irks after five years of happy trouble free ownership. Its the last time I listen to my wife when I buy I car. For information, with PASM you get sports plus; you just do not get launch control.

[@robstorer5752]

The original purchaser ticked a lot of option boxes! Great review.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thank you. The original purchase price of this car was close to £70k either that or it may have been an ex-demo car

[@peterholmes9790]

Thank you for a very informative review , and what a great bit of kit. Many thanks Pete.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

You're welcome mate

[@PB200559]

Very good review.

[@leonardoluc6362]

Diesel S Macan best one ever but yeah we have WEF EU and the Green Party making our lives horrible because they can. Porsche is forced to stop producing Diesel engines by the Green Party. Please people go voting as they have time and do vote and we are bizzy.

[@carsonix78]

PORSH? What is it? When you pronounce PORSHE, letter E is not a silent letter like quite often in english. You have to say it. PORSHE is the last name of the founder of this brand, Ferdinand Porshe, and letter E in his name need to be said aswell. btw nice review :)

[@georgemoore4504]

If you put it into sport mode it takes off from traffic lights

[@promisa100]

Time to change harmonic balancer. U can hear it on 5 min 10 sec

[@hitman9997]

Another great video mate 👍. A lot of options ticked on that Macan!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks mate. Considering even a basic thing is an option this did have most things ticked that you'd find standard in other cars. Good spec car!

[@kamseihra]

Another great vid Mo 👍🏼

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks Kam! Hope you keeping well!

[@MLGBrownCat]

[@georgemoore4504]

Well presented. I will buy the diesel

[@chrisfoster5098]

Nice video with great info thanks

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thank you.

[@genos187]

Is there any common faults ?? Or thinngs to look out for when purchasing used ?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Mainly the transfer box that can fail but hopefully most of them from 2014 to 2018 have already been changed. Watch my "problems" video on the Macan S

[@555fk3]

[@imranb4985]

How reliable are these Macans?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Check out my problems vid. 👍

[@sparkgsparks1736]

Get a petrol one with a high spec .. diesels are polluters! 😂😂

[@DownShiftThrottle]

In a couple years you'll be saying the same about the petrol ones....pushing for the electric ones! 😂

[@rakeshnahar4092]

Wersion, it's version.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thank you for paying attention.

[@InstagramPokerpolitie]

I wish the guy should speak English who can understand this India 🇮🇳 accent

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Hahaha..... You can't even tell the difference, I'm not Indian....thanks for watching though, every view and comment counts!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I wish you could write a concise grammatically correct sentence that others and I could understand - clown

[@walzaf]

@instagrampokerpolitie before criticising the reviewers English, I would recommend that you take some English lessons yourself
