- The little Macan crossover is the least expensive way to own a Porsche, but does that make it a good value?

According to Porsche's research, the average income for folks who buy the Macan is $450k annually. Hardly a poor man's vehicle. Great review though.
According to my research that’s bullstuff.
45k maybe.
@@heikorudi6105 how much do you make and what do you drive?
You can buy a car like this if you make over 100k and have your finances in place. No debt lots in the bank
That is crap. Very few people have that as a household income and Porsche sell over 40k of these. I expect household incomes of $150k for the Macan given that it starts at $60k.
A poor man's vehicle? That's a good one...
The base without options is still more expensive than most cars on the road. A huge percentage of people won't be able to afford this, let alone a "poor man" - as you so eloquently put it.
People paying $40k for toyota 86.
Poor man Porsche? you mean a little more affordable Porsche than the GTS. No Poor man should be buying a Porsche. Stick with a 10 year old RAV4. You’ll save more and spend “less” in maintaining the car. High end cars are great, I love them. But then what if a rich man bought a Nissan Versa? Now what ? is he looked at as a Poor man? We need to take titles off what people can and cannot afford. Great review.
that’s like calling a huracan a “poor man’s” lambo
The way Porsche does price Ala’Cart, there’s no way you can walk out the door for less than a BMW X340I. Which brings me to my choice.
The actual Poor Man's Porsche is a used Boxster. Everything else now is crazy money, even used. Back in 2003, I bought a THREE Porsches for $20k a 911SC for $13k, a 944 for $2k and a 928S for $5k. Those days are long gone...
I actually like the wheel and tire package that’s on this. The proportions look right for this car.
I'd break into my rainy day fund and pony up for the S trim. IMHO, that's the current sweet spot in the lineup.
I used to think I’d rather have a fully loaded mainstream vehicle than a base high end but after having bought each, there’s still a reason why even a base model Porsche is light years ahead of a fully loaded Hyundai/Genesis. The base Macan is by no means a weak car.. for most people who don’t go to the track or haul trailers, this is plenty of power to overtake on a motorway or gun it from the traffic light
Agreed! I’ll take a Base Porsche over a fully loaded anything lol.
Good video! I was hoping for a walk around and open the back door and discuss carrying capacity and what is it like to sit in the back seat. However, I appreciate the review. How does this compare to Audi A6 allroad or the Mercedes station wagon? Would youi get this over the Audi Q 5? I like to hear more about those things so if thinking about buying it.
I own a 2021 Macan base and the cargo space is non-existant. I honestly would choose a Q5 over a Macan. Rear seat is tight if you're tall but fine if you're short.
Also I like the physical buttons better, looked way cooler
this is a joke, the Macan is by no means a poor mans porsche. The Macan is actually in my opinion the best value in the Porsche line up. this woman doesn't do the car justice
I feel “poor men’s Porsche” is a completely inadequate title for this video.
If all you do is go to the Walmart for grocery shopping and the once a week Sunday spin then this car seems perfect to me.
well, around Seattle greater area, there's almost zero inventory, we can't get a 2022 Macan S, no available yet.
Great review !
Could you do a review on the base Tundra SR no one has given that truck a proper review?
i like her narration style and presentation. one thing to help set cnet videos apart is to talk about long term reliability and maintenance costs
how is this poor man? Come on, EmmE
$500 per oil change. Not a price for the poor.
How does it not have Android Auto in 2022? That's crazy. Also, my Tacoma gets the same MPG. That's disgraceful. I've driven a couple of these and the chassis is fantastic (for an SUV). But those glaring issues (plus haptic buttons) mean it's a hard pass for me.
Android? 🤮
This model is for anyone ..some folks do not want a 911 ..I can afford both and chose a Macan ✔️
No fluff, no drama, to the point objective review . Fantastic!
The title cracked me a bit I’m not gonna lie.
The "cheapest" Porsche you can buy is not the Macan, its the 718 Cayman!
depends on country, prices are different
needs to have a full digital display that price
Why?
No thanks. Love my analog tach.
Poor? I guess i am just a peasant….
That CNET logo though...🤣
I don’t like the light blade all the way across the back. I thought the original model with the back lights separated looked better
so raodshow is cnet cars now
I thought subarus were the poor man's Porsche.
LMAOO did you just call a Porsche a poor persons car?
Do any of these models come with a Standard transmission?
No
As much as I love Porsche, I can't help but compare it's base model Macan (which is still a whopping 54k starting) to other offerings such as its Korean competitors like the GV70 which "fully loaded" (and I mean LOADED) is about 65K. Crazy to compare the two, but for a daily driver it is a strong contender
Fun fact you can get a base macan for msrp vs. 15k additional dealer markup for the hyundai… kinda changes things in favor of the porsche, but what do I know just got a macan
Next on the list.. Yes, a Macan. But I would not buy the base Macan. For the $$ I would look else where. Either "S" or "GTS" Macan, as mentioned earlier, go else where, like a Q5(Same engine/power as the base Macan). Alfa Romeo(Stelvio),with 280HP if you're looking at base engines..
Some people prefer steeling feel over hp, just a poor base owner
@@sunnohh What is a "Steeling" feel? Sorry not following, or understanding.
If you buying a Macan for power and engine performance, you missing the point. Don’t get suckered into magazine racing. Macan with air suspension and 20” wheels with 265/295 rubber is the sweet spot and gets you 85+ percent of the experience. I just bought a CPO Macan Sport Edition. It’s an amazing car, at everything. The engine doesn’t hold it back. I’ve test driven a dozen Macan’s at every trim and generation and settled on the SE because it was actually relatively inexpensive.
Macan is best sport suv.
People who buy Porsches care about how it looks on the outside too, lol.
U know u doomed when u compare Rav4 to Macan
The poor fuel economy is puzzling for a base 4 cylinder.
Wow, you have gray hair now. You've aged well.
Poor man's Porsche?! I'd say a very poor title and video.
4:45 $90 !!! For a Tank of Gas!!! Oh H**L No!!! Nope, No thank you!!!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I wouldnt exactly call it the poor mans car? smh ever been to san francsico
56k is not cheap , better offering for cheaper.
I am waiting to see the Macan EV.
I just have to say that you are one of the best car review presenters, man or woman, but I’ve heard. Your way of speaking is so natural, and un“awkward”. My mouth dropped open when you said “on the pipes”. Keep up the good work.
55k for a 4-cylinder turbo is lunacy. Get the V6 "S" or just buy a RAV4.
Did RAV 4 have any of the handling or turbo acceleration of the base macan? If you're living anywhere near a city, I guarantee you will use the extra hp organically maybe, maybe once a month.... unless you go hunt for a straightaway on an empty highway to have a few seconds of adrenalin rush. Just saying.. and the heavier engine takes a toll on handling.
We will keep our 21 Q5...I cant see spending the coin for the Porsche name tag....Not as Impressed...upper trim level, possibly yes...but then again price and what you get is exaggerated vs the competition. At that point Id get the Sq5 which is not that much more than the base Macan and made by the same family or the BMW X3 for a little more.
Audio handling and feel is absolutely inferior to Porsche. But I get saving some coin.
It’s no where near $56,000 at all
We were car showing at the beginning of the year and was not impressed by the Macan, felt very claustrophobic, hated the buttons or haptic buttons and it is small. Great drivers car but that’s it. We settled for a BMW X3 M40i, slightly more expensive than the base macan price, well worth it though
for me a poor papa porsche will be an MR2...... till the values are too high for even that to no longer be a poor persons porsche.
*VW is the poor man's Porsche or Subarus with boxer engines* lol..
ICE Berg
Emme reviews are the best.
So no more “Roadshow”
Oh yeah, got so excited to see Emme didn't even realize this was CNET. I think Emme gets restless as she never stays in one place for too long.
Yeah, a lot of poor people are getting around driving Porsches.
The #1 Tip told to me when I bought my first Porsche however many years ago now: Don't buy a base model. It's the fastest way to give it away that "Yeah, this is my first Porsche." That said, my Macan GTS was a pretty stout $86,000 when new and my Panamera watered the eyes at just south of $105,000 when new. You MIGHT be able to get your hands on a base Macan for the Mid-50s, but why would you want to? Just work a bit harder (or be smart and buy a CPO) and get a better model. The Base is what the dealer gives you as a loaner.
And if it is your first Porsche? This is a humblebrag about what you paid for a car.
@@awebboh ugh, it's nothing like that. I'm sorry that I hit a sensitive button for you. But no. This was advice handed down to me from veteran Porsche owners. Never buy the base model. Nothing screams "this is my first Porsche" like a base model Panamera, Cayman, or Macan. At the very least, buy the S.
@@DaveAdams222 who cares what it screams? is there something wrong with owning a first Porsche?
@@awebboh what?
@@DaveAdams222 Dude not everyone wants to have a loud and more expensive S version.
id rather get a rav4prime
I wish she would speak English rather than American.
Wow soo cheap. I will go for poor man ferrari instead.
Too bad the base engine is a corporate VW one. A boxer 4 would give it a lot more character, and make this more palatable. Still, the worst Porsche is still a Porsche.
those side blades are terrible.
I would rather get a tesla model 3 performance for the same amount of money
Gross their still using blackberry qnx 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮 what year is it ? 2006 ?
If you have to buy the cheapest base model of any luxury car brand just to say you own one, you're likely a poseur.
An conservative or someone who wants to customize one themselves .
And if you have to pay an extra $10‐15 k to get a feature like extra 100 hp to go to Walmart and ride in traffic, you're stupid, since you lose on handling a heavier engine and poorer fuel economy. Better to go buy a real sports car to go on a track.
If u want to buy Macan base just buy VW Tiguan. U save money bcz it has same engine
it's the audi q5 plattform
No andriod Auto.. Hard pass.
How is the Macan base model a poor man's Porsche. You should choose your words better. Not impressed.
Volkswagen four-cylinder; you can practically hear it falling apart
How can hear a car falling apart?
@@ivanlowjones rattling, not smooth functioning as if it was an inline 6, v6
@@g4m778
A turbo 4 may not sound as smooth as a 6 cyl inline or otherwise, but that doesn't mean it's falling apart.
I don’t like the title. Tone deaf in these economic times 👎.
Interior a box of junk for the price
Wait until you take it to service/repair, then you will understand how a poor man’s car it is!
SUV for middle aged woman who like to get ripped off. Stupidly overpriced.
Agreed. But 5 year used? Perfect!
THAT'S NOT A PORSCHE.
