"The Porsche Macan is smart looking and great fun to drive -- both on and off road."

[@johnpriest9575]

Matt, back in the day, had a lovely Alan Partridge quality

[@theodorev666]

driving through twisty british country roads, in the rain, with the amazing green scenery unfolding around you... something you have to do at least once in your life...

[@melissat922]

Oh my, people referring this to an overpriced tiguan. I am not a fan of Porsche but this car is incredible it sticks to the road like glue and it's handling is incredible. Drive one! Their is no comparison between the two and as for the price ... Well you get what you pay for.

[@brandona2519]

This was great! Matt somehow always covers everything you want to know with each car in nearly every review, and He really keeps my attention throughout the video with how he explains things! Saweeeeeeet!

[@T2oys]

I'd buy this over an evoque in a heartbeat. The evoque is a pussy footed fashion accessory, if I were to buy a range rover, I'd save up for the proper, full sized one.

[@_chipchip]

I like your style.

[@merdzhanmehmedov4957]

Harman Sanghera i like the fact its an suv with convertible

[@george88pizza43]

Have you got the Range Rover yet?

[@raymondluk8623]

I really like the roads they do these reviews on. They are so scenic and look great fund to drive on

[@G0ML333]

Well done Porsche, looks slightly better than the Cayenne. Seems everybody that has driven it are all sold on how it drives.

[@MrAndrew1953]

Brilliant car superbly built . Size , height perfect for urban and country environment. Drool on.

[@flappospammo]

i was comparing this to a rr sport and a lexus nx , this wipes the floor with them both think i'll order one next week sweet wagon

[@CynicalBastard511]

"Wow factor of the Range Rover Evoque". OK, but the Evoque looks like crap to me. I prefer the sportier instance of the Macan, thank you very much.

[@toledomerendo]

Hey carbuyer... Can you please tell me where you normally shoot your review video material? I'm taking a trip to England soon and just for the fun of it I'd like to drive on the roads I've seen you drive on so many times. Thanks!

[@caustic279]

It looks amazing

[@turntojesus7338]

If you get air suspension , do you need to get adaptive suspension too? Thanks

[@JohnInSale]

Nice alternative to the Evoke and suited to UK roads, will have to try the diesel version !!! Would be nice if you gave the List Price of your Test Vehicle and the actual Road Test Price too ?? !!

[@charlessmyth]

Good looking car.

[@goldentimes1998]

Build quality incredible

[@mikeyash5225]

Went in this up the track at goodwood today :D

[@TheJanderochefort]

Mat, i just noticed that the macan you reviewed here, is the same macan rebecca reviewed on another channel :)

[@mershell2562]

don't know if it's my computer, but the link to the other videos in the end of the video doesnt work

[@somervillearron]

why did this video show as uploaded today on the feed? when i watched it yesterday or the day before?

[@elastic24]

Matt, does this Macan come with manual shift?

[@wong888888881]

Why re upload ? Technical issues? What are the issues?

[@syedomarnorth2561]

It's underpinnings is basically a Q5 and for the money.Id just go for the SQ5,sounds like a muscle car,goes like one and has a sense if coolness about it.

[@ruditheman11]

I've just realised that I'm a Carbuyer fan!! :)) Suggestion: couple of more minutes picturing inside of the car wouldn't kill you mi mates...

[@SG-D]

Lovely SUV. yep the only one which would make any sense for me would be the D

[@alexanderstefanov6474]

Best all round car in the woorld, as Clarkson might say.

[@Zereniti77]

When do we get the review of the new Merc C-class :)?

[@filipjonasson9034]

So Beautiful car!!

[@wiibaron]

I don't believe I've ever seen a fender cut line go from the wheel well to the door. I wonder why they did that. And the last gen RAV4 called and wants its bodyside rub strip/moulding back.

[@undiscoveredyoutuber7519]

Why have the re uploaded it?

[@virendradr]

As usual,mat does excellent but i wish he should review cayenne s diesel too.Hope ,he does soon for his fans .thanks

[@fabulousprofound]

sadly because it is in so much demand this is not available for delivery until 2015 where i am from =(

[@junlai9613]

How does this compare to the cayenne ? Size wise .

[@miriam95658]

Me before the video: it’s so pretty but idk. Me after seeing him drift in: I want!

[@Jaydenkk]

Mat?

[@anythingyouwant29]

But wait, I think I am missing the point here, what is the after service like with Porsche? Thats something people miss when comparing vehicles to buy. I would pay more if I know I am going to get some attention when I go back for a service, small things like offering a decent service vehicle if required, being available to service the vehicle and general after sales service. Can someone anyone here tell me which car make offers the best customer service?

[@xli88]

Best car ever!

[@korintusnara7563]

when will carbuyer review the new ford ecosport ?

[@ahwai82]

porsche can make everything a option and it still sells

[@Pete762]

I didnt like the way it looks until I saw one in person... not bad!!

[@davidhayes4814]

Sister car is the Q5 (no bad thing) Problem is the sister car to the Cayenne is/was the Toureg and not the Q7. Of course the Q7 is/was too big a beast but it does seem to be a bit of a pick' n' mix going on in the 'sisterhood' of cars.For the Audi part of the group, they all seem well spaced out but the Macan and Cayenne seem to be stepping on each other's toes for size, seats and image.

[@TheAlexutzu191]

Can you do a review of Ferrari California please?

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

why in the recent activity it says uploaded 23 hours ago when it was uploaded 1 week ago? anyone else got that problem?

[@angelortunorubio6899]

Hello Mat, do you think a 2015 Macan S is a good option in 2022? Best regards, and congrats for the channel

[@dovic5201]

How much?

[@angelortunorubio6899]

@@dovic5201 Hello! I disposed of it, instead I bought a BMW 430, thank you for your message!

[@GirlyEnglishGamer]

​@@angelortunorubio6899Hello. How are you finding it thus far?

[@Kc-qe5dv]

You should do evoque 2020 vs macan 2020 .

[@cuttestmert]

Are you english guys jealous ?! :) Best SUV ever! Love from France :)

[@emrico]

my dad's one's coming in two weeks, can't wait!

[@jackalster77]

Just got delivery of the turbo version in white. Looks great, drives like a dream. Don't buy grey, looks almost ugly in front of the white or black colors. Only thing is the exhaust note which could have been meatier/louder for a turbo...

[@abarthpz]

One of the few Porsche"s i like, much better than Cayenne, compact, hi tech, fast. But evoque is still a looker...

[@sinanduzenli8506]

Thankyou :))

[@joyceperez6828]

This was one of my favorite cars Many people liked this car, it was my first car..

[@leannepagano772]

@Suzanne Duncan It's really an important thing but we buy without realizing it

[@joyceperez6828]

@Suzanne Duncan I will definitely keep these in mind if I buy a used car from next time..

[@SOMEFATASSBITCH]

ok !! good video

[@Destr0yer58]

Predicted engine reliability?

[@rohendrarajenthiren2665]

bmw x3 is better than the audi q5 right?

[@7spower998]

Mat, great review. Btw, Macan is pronounced Ma-Chan, not Ma-Khan. Macan is Asian Tiger found in Indonesia

[@connorduke4619]

The BMW X3 slays this in the meantime?

[@williegitau6680]

Dream car💥💥💥

[@PakiiiBux]

BRACE YOURSELVES THE REUPLOUD COMMENTS ARE COMING

[@CraigBickerstaff]

I can't help but wonder if the Macan would be better if it were shrunk down and done as a 5 door hatch instead, I've never really been into these mini SUVs they all look like big hatchbacks and this Macan makes me interested in the idea of a Porsche Hatchback.

[@chigasaki06]

That wouldn't work. One of the main markets for Porsche is the U.S. market, and Americans unfortunately don't like hatch's.

[@CraigBickerstaff]

chigasaki06 I don't live in America and there are plenty of countries who buy hatchbacks. If Audi can sell an upmarket golf then Porsche can too.

[@aliGyo]

Craig Bickerstaff wouldn't that just be the panamera?

[@CraigBickerstaff]

aliGyo The Panamera is a saloon car, I'm talking about a hatchback, like a Golf GTI 5 door or an Audi A3 but All wheel drive and done by Porsche, a Panamera is nothing like a Golf it's too long.

[@fundiver198]

I agree. This is essentially just a big 5-seater hatchback with a slightly raised ride height. And you have to wonder, what that is all about, if its not meant to go offroad anyway? It would obviously drive a lot better, if they simply lowered it 50-100 mm, so why dont they? The only explanation, I can find, is, that it must be the weird tastes of the american and chinese market, which cause Porche to make their hatchback much worse, than it could have been. In these markets rich people buy a Porsche, because its prestige, but they dont really care about, how the car drive. They are just buying the badge basically.

[@PorscheSweden]

I very much question the price of the Macan, i know Porsche is a premium brand and that they never will sell "cheap" cars but the prices of the Macan diesel and S is just under the Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne V6. In Sweden with some options at the dealership there is Macan's that cost 160,000$ which is almost like a brand new Cayenne GTS or a slightly used Cayenne Turbo. They've made the Macan way to expensive, anyone would take a Cayenne anyday over this car.

[@fundiver198]

I agree. The price is very close to the larger Cayenne, which kind of raise the question, why you would not just go for the Cayenne, which actually CAN do a bit of offroading? This is better on the road obviosly. But I cant help thinking, that if its only for the road, then why make it so tall? How much better could it be, if Porsche had just given up this silly SUV idea and build a modern successor to the front engined 928 sports GT car instead? Or to put it another way: What was missing so far from the Porsche lineup was not a smaller and nimbler but almost as expensive Cayenne. It was a smaller, nimbler and much prettyer Panamera. A successor to the brilliant 928 front engined GT car, which Porsche made until 1995.

[@BobRooney290]

if it released a 4 cylinder with 25/35 MPG, I would consider it. I need a luxury SUV with really good mileage. Right now i am considering the BMW X1. it has everything i am looking for.

[@timothychristian9188]

I think matt misspeling when he say "Makhan", actually the spelling was "Machan" not "Makhan". I knew it because Porsche took the name of the tiger in Indonesia, and I'm from Indonesia :)

[@marcuslu9868]

I would like to ask if I could, should I buy a Merc GLC 250d or a Macan Diesel if the price is about 10,000 AUD difference? Many thanks!!!

[@carbuyer]

+Marcus Lu Nice problem to have! The Macan is a bit better overall (we feel) but it's really down to which you'd rather be driving. The Porsche is much more fun to drive and (I personally think) nicer to sit in. So if we had the choice, we'd plump for the Porsche!

[@flappospammo]

+Carbuyer plus mercedes quality has really gone down the shitter my s class is a pos , last merc i ever buy the dealers are assholes too

[@reecewilliams9838]

+Carbuyer you didn't show boot space!

[@APPLEMANIPHONE]

What's the song at 2:15

[@DavidSaba7]

GLA Review PLEASE :)

[@Alaatin61]

The Macan Turbo is the most powerfull with 400 HP!

[@Jacob7316]

The only thing that worry's me about these crossover vehicles is whether you could fit a dog in the boot like a Labrador or something like that and by the look of that roof line i doubt you could

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

I was wondering the exact same thing! Would a labrador fit in the boot?

[@Jacob7316]

thats why i would prefer the range rover its boot looks more square, like it could fit a dog in

[@mcbalzer6121]

no active links...

[@xc9009]

MACAN = MA-CHAN , its not MAKAN... its fix word, just like japanese words .. its means TIGER , its came from Indonesian word

[@alexanderdepreter5118]

0:45 tailgate lights alignment , that doesn't look to good , especially for a Porsche

[@tomautoscenter]

nice car !

[@roryg8704]

Where did you film it? please reply

[@Rather_Crusty_Scrotum]

britain

[@flavio171717]

Do the new c-class please !! :)

[@ImDembe]

If i only had money, good drivers car, higher than a normal car and comfortable when you want it to be. If i win money i buy a Macan diesel the same day.

[@iminindonesia]

Because "Macan" is taken from Indonesian word "tiger", It's actually read as "machan" with the "chan" as in chance. (because, "Makhan" in Indonesian mean "eating")

[@ismaeli9995]

Looks great

[@007knick]

Hey Carbuyer the annotations don't work :)

[@LaoK8710]

the side and rear look just like Infiniti Ex37/35(which is 2008 to now model)

[@alexhitchcock7691]

Such a Chelsea Tractor...

[@bizmarkie100]

In black its cool af

[@piperbob2]

What is the long-term reliability of the Macan like ? Owners, please comment - thanks !

[@Mr11ESSE111]

Main Problem of this Macan is that his price is almost same like Cayenne or in some cases he cost even more than Cayenne and in the same time his price is on the level of BMW x5 or mercedes M or about 10000 euro more(with same engine and equipment) than WV Toureg which is bigger and more luxurious

[@wailun1123xd]

kraenk12 It shares the platform with Q5, not A5, A5 is a sedan.

[@defandj]

song pls... insert title in reply :>

[@neandertalac]

Please tell your technician to normalize audio before posting. Car Buyers' videos are way too quiet. And the music volume could be little more balanced with volume of human voice.

[@Makjeh]

Why re upload?

[@TheM6]

Because, "Technical issues fixed! "...

[@alexchami9522]

Should I buy a macan or a cayenne

[@scottsherman7069]

Macan

[@rohendrarajenthiren2665]

is the bmw x3 better than the porsche macan?

[@bl00dra1nn]

+Rohendra rajenthiren no absolutely not.

[@andylie7699]

Uhhhh, 4:37 , that door slam!

[@TheMusicFan1297]

Whats wrong with that?

[@Olliebobalong]

That is solid german quality.

[@andylie7699]

Nothing.. I just wanted to see your reactions..

[@greyfort1812]

yeah. specially when friends ride and just slams the door as if it they are pulling a goddamn horse

[@whoischxse]

in about 3 or 4 years when these are about 30k ill buy one

[@ranad5019]

CHVSE LUPEX so now 😂

[@marcuscordeiro2263]

Have u got your Porsche yet? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@redspin2ify]

They literally are 30k now lol I'm thinking of snapping one up

[@nletecca8030]

Now lol

[@faffit2055]

Hi, so it’s been 4 years, did you buy one?

[@KrunalRindani]

Only two comments? Damn!

[@tasosss]

well someone's a porsche fan, you point out good things you would judge about other cars for having them

[@Preestop]

4:38 i know u felt that too...

[@lobrospetsosneostaltos3953]

Mat please make a Video for the VW Golf GTD!

[@007knick]

Why are they charging extra for bluetooth, a reversing camera and heated seats comon Porsche that really isn't OK...

[@dszacks1]

The GLA 45 AMG is just as quick, but probably not as capable

[@redkatanagamer5872]

What is the difference between a macan and a cayenne

[@carbuyer]

+Red katana gamer The Macan is a smaller SUV aimed to rival cars like the Range Rover Evoque, whereas the Cayenne is larger and competes with cars like the Range Rover Sport and BMW X5. Hope that helps!

[@heycanada1587]

+Carbuyer hi I'm going to buy an suv and I was wondering if there's any better car in macan's price range

[@auctioncars5804]

I really don't think that you can get much better than it as I am very happy with it. However, the jeep Cherokee has simply amazing looks. I found them both at ibiy123 .netcom3 .hop.click bank. net

[@44444443333333366666]

It looks great except the back and the tailgate

[@harryc266]

ID rather have a used like 2013 cayenne
