Luxury car! A girl's best friend and a perfect weekend car for a trip to the city.
Macan is perfect for those who like stiff handling and luxury at the same time. The car is also very effective when driving for sport mode as well. I would highly recommend for ladies. It is classy and fun to drive at the same time. Black color is the best for the type of trim.

Not a car but a sophisticated machine
Fantastic handling, comfort, Mike’s per gallon, features, and safety all in one machine.

I love my "Mac"!
I bought this for my commute from FL to TX every 5-6 weeks, and could not be happier. Fast, fun to drive, excellent fuel economy, and the only time its been to the dealer is for oil changes/standard maintenance checks. I bought it in Jan 2018 and now have ~31K on it, and it performs like the day I bought it. It is incredibly comfortable on the long drive, and handles impeccably in the inclement weather we get here in the gulf states. The only con to this vehicle is that the rear seats do not fold completely flat, but that's literally all I can find that I would change.

It is super fast and the transmission shifts smoothly.
The Porsche macan is a top performing luxury SUV. It has an engine with very fast pick up speeds. It has a very smooth ride. It has many extra features to make your drive more enjoyable.

Great style and great gas mileage.
This is a great vehicle with plenty of pep, even as a base model. It is a 4 cylinder turbo, which gives it plenty of get up and go, paired with great gas mileage! The interior is intuitive from the outset— the controls are well-placed and easy to use, and the navigation system is the best, with a map on the big screen, and the option to get turn by turn instructions on the dial that is part of the dashboard behind the steering wheel, so you do not have to look over to see where your next instructions are directing you. The interior feels luxurious, with quality leather and 14 way seat adjustments that have driver/mirror memory. Heating and cooling systems are exceptional, and visibility is good.

Creature features are very user friendly.
Feel sporty but very comfortable for long trips. Good cargo space and very good gas mileage. I am pleased with heated seats as well as the cooling seats since we live in a warm climate and the ease of programming things like seat position preference for different drivers.

Love my macan. Very special car.
Love the Macau. Even though it is a 4 cylinder car it is very peppy. Looks like an airplane cockpit with all the buttons and switches. Like the panoramic moonroof too. Has all the new technology built in. Can use my cell phone with the apple play function. Three months free Sirius XM is fun.

Macan gts - perfectly balanced.
The macan in the gts trim is perfect as an all around, daily driver that is functional and fun! Feels like a sports car but swallows gear like a trooper and eats up miles with ease. Never fails to put a smile on my face and kicking it into sports mode with the exhaust opened up is permagrin.

Peppy car ! True to Porsche reputation!
This car responds magnificently when you need to get out of trouble. Transmission is fantastic. 2 major problems is that a Florida dealer charged me 4.2 hours for a standard maintenance oil change & inspection when my home dealer said it should have only been 2 hours. Also just changed all 4 tires for wear after only 26,000 miles. I’m not a hard driver. Mostly highway driving. Ouch.

Drives like a sports car but not that comfortable on longer drives.
The macan drives like a sports car but it is a stiff ride. It needs work to make it a more comfortable ride. It seats four fairly comfortably and has decent cargo space. It has been reliable. You can depend that the car will perform. No complaints there. Maintenance costs are very high. I would prefer if they built maintenance into the upfront MSRP. It is a solid car that looks good on the road.

In overall the future for base is great.
It's good and fast enough for base engine. The seats made by leather and some kind of fabric material that is awesome for winter and summer. The sensors are great and works well but the thing that I do not like about this car is backup camera. Its get blurry on rainy days and also at nights.
