2015 Porsche Macan S Road Test | Edmunds.com

The 2015 Porsche Macan promises to be a functional crossover and a fun-to-drive Porsche. Is it either?

I wonder what this would've read like had you opted for PTV, air suspension, sport chrono pkg, and summer tires

Seems like a well executed performance oriented SUV that will be costly to own. Then again, isn't that what Porsche's all about?

Porsche, just make a proper sports wagon already ok? I'm not interested in a sports SUV/crossover

I imagine for starters it would've read "Holy %&@ the Macan is expensive, and this is the base model!"

This doesn't look like a Porsche. It looks like rebadged VW. German car manufactures are not the most creative group from a styling standpoint. Just make a small, and a large version of the same regurgitated blob. If a tiny niche appears, make a medium, massive, or tiny version of said blob. I semi-understand the need for Porsche to do this as a part of VAG. I wish they didn't have to though.

The Macan S has a twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 and the Macan Turbo has a twin-turbo 3.6-litre V6. Both have V6 engines, but not the same engine.

The Edmunds.com editors need to make up their collective minds. 3 weeks ago, Ed Hellwig wrote a long-term blog entry titled "Back seats are tight" and said that the "...Porsche Macan S is good at many things. Transporting adults in the back seat is not one of them." Yet this article claims "Ingress is a little tricky thanks to the roof, but once inside, there's plenty of headroom for a 6-footer sitting behind a 6-footer, and legroom is more than acceptable."

I'm confused. Which is it?

the bmw x1 has optional v6 300hp/300lb torque at 1,500 rpm in an 8 speed. plus zero cost maintenance for 4 years, including brakes. how much better is this Macan? not enough much better. they are still overpricing the non-911 vehicles.

@frostyzoob, some six footers have long torsos and others have long legs. People come in different shapes and fit in cars differently. Their opinions vary a lot too.

Why not compare the Macan to an Audi SQ5 and see now they stack up?

on the pictures above macan has eather chrome or black trim around windows. so witch one is it?

The Macan is just right, well balanced for all around use. Options are pricey but the core vehicle is well worth the price .Ice and snow ,off road,and even at the race track.
