This helps. Having such a hard time deciding on a base vs S. I feel that in the end the base with maybe a cobb tune for +50hp will be the sweet spot for me.
Definitely get the Macan when you're ready to trade the KIA. Watching you discuss Porsche on you channels, now only this one, made me visit my local dealership several times in the last year. Also, I have to say that I find it funny to see the words "Porsche" and "need" in the same sentence. First world problems, right? lol
You are a Porsche enthusiast. You, IMO, would never be happy enough with the GT Macan. There would always be, in the back of your mind, 'well, this GT is nice. But that extra power. The nicer interior.' Or whatever. Get the GTS when finances allow. Be happy!👍👊
In reality, the Macan S has been dropped (in terms of vehicle configuration), as the "new" Macan S has the same engine as the 2021 Macan GTS and the "new" Macan GTS has the same engine as the 2021 Macan Turbo. So the options for 2022 and forward for ICE Macans are the 2.0L turbo like you're driving here, and the 2.9L twin turbo. No more 3.0L turbo Macan. This also probably helps differentiate more between the Macan and the Audi SQ5 since the SQ5 also uses the 3.0L turbo.
Nice vid, get yourself a GTS or older turbo. Brilliant cars. I just learned last month that the reason the Macan behaves so well is, unlike the Audi & VW cousins, they are essentially rear wheel drive whereas the others are front. I assure you the Mac turbo is a completely different animal! Well worth the drive! Also, you'll know from the turbo that leather or alcantara on the dash is the way to go. Makes a huge difference to the inside 👍
After watching the full review. Everything that you "said" says stick with the Kia, the difference isn't significant and the price can't justify it. On the other hand, everything not "said" shows emotionally that you're a Porsche guy and the Macan is the car for you. Go with your heart, life is too short 🙂
if $ is zero issue go for the GTS!! however if you'd put the extra $10/20/30k towards anything else...the base will have all the power you need 95% of the time
@@eSysmanTech Sorry I assumed it was a diesel, as the majority are. I've got a 2.0 petrol CX-5, handles like a boat, Macan looks like it handles really well for an SUV.
I live in a place with plenty of premium cars, I mean a bentley on my street is normal, and the drivers of Porsche SUVs, are almost all women. But knowing you are in need of small cars it probably doesn't bother you. Where would you park it? Probably doesn't bother you to have the Kia outside at home or in port. And if you had to get say a large crate, would you mind jamming it in the back of a Macan because I bet you would care less with the Kia. How about throwing some boxes on the back seats? But I would get the S, simply for the lower price than a GTS. It gets you lots more power and over 300hp, and a V6. And that is why you get the longer profile Cayman for a just a little more money until you spec it out.
Yeah they went crazy at one point and I wasn’t that close to anything. That was the one thing this car didn’t have that I would need, the air suspension.
My model Y has way more room, more versatile, has autopilot for those long drives, and does 0-60 in 3.5. 3 seconds faster! Test drive one for a couple hundred miles (get used to autopilot) and you'll want it on your Italy trips for that alone.
I like the concept of the Macan, the size, the performance, even the notion it will become the flag bearer of Porsches electric offering but the looks, the looks are awful 🤮

Macan: The 911 SUV. Porsche thinking - priceless.
Great drone footage as well. Another great video.
Another great video. Great drone footage. You must sure put a lot of time into these videos. Lucky for us. Oh, nice jacket too. 👍👍

Big boats and cars… me too!!
We always need more horse power
Gemballa Macan ;)
Enjoyed the video. Every drive the Range Rover products? How do they compare to Porsche?
Loved your video as usual. I have a question, who is doing the Areal video and the driving?
It was all me.
I got it 100% correct on the merchandise you got from Porsche as i posted on the previous video. 😃
& i won.... for it..?? 👀 looks nice btw... 👍

Great review nice jacket as well. seeing your expression driving the macan you need a gts

Go for it the GTS✌️

Great vlog mate where were you driving no traffic speaking to you from London I might add 😂😂😂😂😂👍❤️❤️
How much was the Kia? Is the Macan worth the extra money? I can imagine with your euro trips diesel is still advantageous.
My Kia is a 1.6 petrol engine. Fuel economy is not my main concern, well it certainly wouldn’t be a deciding factor.
@@eSysmanTech Sorry I assumed it was a diesel, as the majority are. I've got a 2.0 petrol CX-5, handles like a boat, Macan looks like it handles really well for an SUV.
Get the one that will make you happy, I think you need to be all Porsche only
Nice Audi Q5 :)
They drive completely differently. The Macan is 85% rear wheel drive on a dry road.

Why not the Cayenne?
Was that the Humber Bridge behind you in the opening shots?
If I had a Macan I'd have to call it "Terry" after Dennis Waterman's character in Minder!
Haha, nice one. No wasn’t the Humber bridge.
Someone is going to need a bigger garage. :) Did they resolve the issue your car had?
The parking sensors on that car are infuriating. But as a long trip car our macan with air pasm is wonderful.
Yeah they went crazy at one point and I wasn’t that close to anything. That was the one thing this car didn’t have that I would need, the air suspension.
The base isn't going to do it. The " S " is nice and you'd enjoy it. The "enthusiast" in you would be wishing you'd gotten the GTS.
Way ahead of you. I have a video coming soon, as soon as I have time to edit it!
Dude: how to you get a drone shot while you're driving the car? Of course unless you have someone else driving I guess.
Nope shot it all on my own!
@@eSysmanTech You're a magic man with a magic plan.
Cayenne is the SUV for you ! Stay Safe !!
You speak so much about power, have you driven a Tesla S or any top EV?
No because I don’t want one. No interest.
Change your spider for a macan. 😊
👍🏻🍸
The Porsche SUV is made to go to the supermarket in a hurry.
The back seats are too small, with limited head room.
My model Y has way more room, more versatile, has autopilot for those long drives, and does 0-60 in 3.5.
3 seconds faster!
Test drive one for a couple hundred miles (get used to autopilot) and you'll want it on your Italy trips for that alone.
Yes but it’s an EV. Doesn’t interest me at all.
@@eSysmanTech test drive it so you can make that statement from a position of experience.
Also, it'll get your channel a huge bump in the algorithm.
I’m not even interested in Porsche EVs. It just doesn’t excite me.
I like the concept of the Macan, the size, the performance, even the notion it will become the flag bearer of Porsches electric offering but the looks, the looks are awful 🤮
Gts
Why bother with the macan , it’s obvious you’ll end up in the Cayenne Turbo GT
Great video though .
That car is £140,000!
Awfully overpriced
Buy a Tesla.
Not a chance
