I’ve driven mine for 5 years now. Over the years, I’ve upgraded the exhaust system, brakes and tuned the ECU. It has been an absolute joy!!! I’m not going to trade it in any time soon.
Having tested the Macan myself, and a first time driver of any Porsche I found the interior very easy to use. Although it looks like clutter, I found all the buttons were laid out where I would have expected them to be. All performance related buttons are near the side of you.

Great Review - Marek says the pros and cons in his reviews, and go precisely to the point. I get the information I need very quickly. I encourage to keep the same style.
Good straight forward, straight speaking review. Totally lacking in the usual obsequiousness most reviewers seem to suffer from when reviewing high end vehicles.
Sorry mate, but your review is very pompous. I drive a Macan S and it's probably, in fact definitely, the best car I've ever owned. I cannot fault the machine, comfort, performance, looks, just brilliant. And who cares about fuel economy when you can afford a beauty like this.
Rob Booth Automotive As long as you record the voiceovers under a blanket, you should be fine with what you have now. Just make sure you don't record them in an open room. As for the car, do you have some sort of lavalier mic?
@@MarekDrives That's in part the difference between cars that were originally left- or right-hand drive. ALL Japanese cars have the key lock on the right-hand side (in right-hand drive vehicles, that is), but that doesn't imply 'sporty'.
+Hamiriza Triwardhana Thanks. So in Indonesian it's pronounced "machian"? In Polish we would pronounce it "matzan", which is somewhat similar to someone feeling (as in touching) someone else.
+Marek Drives not with "i", just "ma-chan" But afterall, most people in us/eur surely will pronounce it "ma-kan", which in indonesian means Eat (not Tiger anymore) :)
@@HamirizaTriwardhana Interesting, and thank you for the info. I doubt that when I'm in a Porsche dealer, that they'd take my lead and start pronouncing it properly. Btw, How do Porsche dealers in Indonesia pronounce it? I guess it's like english- speakers saying "porsh" not "porsh-a". And all the english words that sound like they're being butchered by english- as-2nd- language speakers...
Is Macan even available on 18" wheels? :) Depends how you want to drive it. The difference in handling between 18" and larger wheels for the same car is staggering. The taller the tire wall, the more lean there is on it in the corners.
Why don't you ask the dealer to let you try a car on 18" and 19" rims, and you can decide for yourself. If you want cornering speed, you want 20" or more. If you care about comfort 18" will be fine. If you have spend an extra 2k, maybe add a bit more and go for 20".
This guy is too negative about the Macan. I own one and it has more exciting features comparable to a 911 and its brother the Cayenne, which, I also own. This vehicle performs better than the Audi, Teurig, and other suv's on the maeket. It is badass and love everything about the Macan!
It's a better car than the new F pace and I'm sure it's better than the Levante. I guess the Jag is more practical but the base model is slow and the fast model is crazy expensive
As an owner of Macan S I can surely tell you: it's even better than you think)))) It's gonna be a vey hard competition for F-pace, and I'm not sure Jaguar would win....

He doesn't. He's just got a cynical sense of humour. That's his style. If you want gullible lap-dog reviews, go to carwow or other similar bad scripting.
+Marek Drives Agreed the Audi and Porsche are similar products as they share a common platform. The difference is a heavy price for the Porsche badge,running costs, and makeover. So why bother with building it in the first place say the Porsche Purists?? After all there are too many overpriced white elephants appealing to the very few people with money in a deep global recession already ?
peter jones As far as I'm concerned, Porsche could stick to 911, preferably no later than 993. However the Cayenne proved that there's a market for SUV/crossover Porsche, and Macan follows that trend. I've driven the Cayenne, and Macan, and they defy the laws of physics. The Macan may be expensive, but it feels like a Porsche. It may share many components with Q5, but overall it's a different animal.
I just drove a 2017 Macan base and a couple hours later a 2017 Q5 3.0. The Q5 3.0 will blow the doors off the Macan 2.0. The Q5 is roomier, more comfortable and practical. The Macan is sportier, funner to drive and has the Porsche wow factor. I'm going back to the Porsche dealer and drive the Macan S. One of the three I'll be ordering soon.
The buttons on the centre console are beautiful and remind you that you're driving something special.

Thank you for that info. I'll be in the same boat, and, so far, it's my first choice of next car.
Well done Marek! I enjoy your humor and your style has separated you from the many other car reviewers i have suffered through.

"The blank buttons reminds us of the options we can't afford" So fucking true hahahaha

This guy knows how to set himself apart from other car reviewers! I chuckled when he said that! Fucking true as fuck lmao 😂

Really like your reviews. I like the jokes, fun to watch and a great overall job well done, subscribed!
Thanks for the feedback and subscribing!
Good straight forward, straight speaking review. Totally lacking in the usual obsequiousness most reviewers seem to suffer from when reviewing high end vehicles.
You made this review so fun and engaging to watch with your humour! (LOL at the Shania Twain reference!)
This is one of the most entertaining and creative reviews I've seen in a long time. Keep up the good work
you sir is my new favorite car journalist.. keep up the good work!
thanks mate, like the way you talk, very distinguish and clear, are made to be a representative ,
Sorry mate, but your review is very pompous. I drive a Macan S and it's probably, in fact definitely, the best car I've ever owned. I cannot fault the machine, comfort, performance, looks, just brilliant. And who cares about fuel economy when you can afford a beauty like this.
Absolutely... This reviewer is a wannabe Clarkson
'Get me some tissues'. Subscribed!
Great review enjoyed your delivery with humor added 👍 will be subscribing love that macan
Very impressive review Marek, this is the quality I'm aiming for.
You're filming and editing skills are better than mine. It's the sound you need to work on.
Marek Drives Thanks, maybe it's time I invest in a Rode then.
Rob Booth Automotive As long as you record the voiceovers under a blanket, you should be fine with what you have now. Just make sure you don't record them in an open room. As for the car, do you have some sort of lavalier mic?
Marek Drives Nope, I see that the Rode lav mic is on offer. Then I'll plug the lav into my Zoom H1. Cheers.
Bahaha "we get it, your parents are rich" omg I always think that when I see those D-bags ;)
dude that intro killed me
Nice review mate!
Nice review, well done. And I did not have to suffer through all the movie star shit...
haha you're near Marki, I have studied in Warsaw so I know the city quite well XD
refreshing review. thx for upping!
Good review man!
Nice video Marek.
Thanks.
Thank you very much for the review
... And btw, I love showing off my exhausts at the traffic lights...
Whats wrong with having the key at the left side?? You get used to it pretty fast and it's a cool tradition.
+Naitsabes00 I suppose. In Land Rover Defender the key is on the other side, so that you can plough easily ;)

Macan in indonesian, C is pronunce like C in Chili, not like C in Car mate.. but as always a great review from u

Hi Marek, is 18inch tires good enough for this car? Will I loose on the performance? Thanks for the reply.
Is Macan even available on 18" wheels? :)
Depends how you want to drive it. The difference in handling between 18" and larger wheels for the same car is staggering. The taller the tire wall, the more lean there is on it in the corners.
Hi, should I upgrade to 19inch, it is 2000dollars extra
Why don't you ask the dealer to let you try a car on 18" and 19" rims, and you can decide for yourself. If you want cornering speed, you want 20" or more. If you care about comfort 18" will be fine. If you have spend an extra 2k, maybe add a bit more and go for 20".
the key is on the left for a reason...in most cases when having an accident that key moves in the driver`s leg
i like your reviews but please don't quite eyes of the road , it's extremely dangerous.
I know what I'm doing (famous last words) :)

What car is the perfect car for u? U hate Every single car!
@@umomufather5931 No he doesn't. He's just cynical or realistic (take your pick)

+fish fingers Probably is better, Jag coming up soon.

That boot liner disappointed me though, sad, why did you do that, that looks cheap, and it's in a Porsche :(
1st there is no right or wrong side for the ignition key and 2nd thats not a sports car
Sir, your grammar is better than Shania's; she says that DON'T impress her much. (Still, she's American, so probably needs our pity... )
You put that red heart on at 5am your time! You're up early. It's 3pm where I am.
Finally found some realistic criticism

Center console needs a few more buttons.....
This reviewer missed the mark on so many things here.
This is a rebadged Audi Q5. The direct comparison are the larger engine models of this Audi model.Surprisingly Audi maybe the smart buy here !!!
+peter jones Drive both, you'll be surprised. I was.

+peter jones trust me, you can't compare the Macan with the Q5. The 2.0T Macan is way better than the 3.0T Q5.

Even if it was a pimped Up q5 I don’t des the Problem you have Money you lien a q5 why not taking the high class
I love the exterior but I hate the interior you can never get the perfect car 😿
But alcantara is a no cost base option.. That's pretty handy
Polish English, jednak to słychać, ale spoko.
Personally this guy doesn’t exactly kno what he’s talking about

Wow....Not sure about this thing....Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport over this GLORIFIED VW.....NEXT !!!!

Not a bad car. Terrible reviewer though. Lol
