Just bought my 2014 macan s with only 50k on the clock and absolutely love it. Best car i have ever owned. My last ride was the gla 45amg and it does not really feel much slower. Its in my opinion such a solid feeling car.
Used to not like Porsche a lot, but as I've gotten a bit more open-minded this past couple of years I've really gotten to like them. They are sporty yet classy. Powerful and fast yet deep and powerful sounding and not screaming. The luxury car for lifestyle people.
I think he might have blended the mic that was outside near the exhaust with the sound from in the cabin so that we could hear the engine noise and not just him talking. Personally, I liked it. edit: He commented saying his main mic failed, so he used the mic from the camera
Drove by a Macan the other day that was getting off the highway - plenty of pops and bangs were heard. As another commenter mentioned, UK might have some emission requirements that subdue the exhaust note.
Currently my wife has a 2021 Audi SQ5 and I like how it drives and how it sounds. Trying to convince her on either getting a Turbo or a GTS Macan. Likely a GTS one.
Will Jolliff lol Panamera is ruling the ring again (in it’s class). The facelift has the record. But please in the love of god don’t just look at family cars. Porsche eats the whole 2 seater Merc lineup with their 911’s.
Will Jolliff can’t get much more out of it. Hybrids are heavy as hell. I doubt that the new GT73S will break the record Porsche is holding right now, and believe me Porsche rules track focussed, handling and fast cars.
Seems the UK version has a muted exhaust note, my guess is due to an emission requirement . With sport exhaust on, my 2021 Macan Turbo sounds incredible. One of the loudest and best sounding V6s I’ve heard. I’m in the US
@@ziggy149 drove for more than a yr.. it is just perfect car you can have fun with and brings you comfort too. also you can carry a lot if you needed. small back seats though(I rarely use)
@@Jinjee_YamYam Basically my understanding, but haven’t heard from an actual owner. It’s always difficult to tell if people are exaggerating, but would you say it’s legitimately fast?
Anyone have suggestions for a quality tune for this car? Mine is on order for a March delivery and would love to get turbo like horsepower out of the GTS.
Ok , So the question is which one is the better drive with handling and giving you a solid feel? the macan vs glc 63 / 43 ? Let me know your thoughts. Personally i think it is a better size car as i spend 99% of the time by myself and have no kids , just a wife to join me on some of our trips away. Currently driving gla 45amg, love its drive but feel its time to get into a bigger car just because of all the bad roads here in queensland Australia wehere i live. Thanks for your feedback. jarmo.
Got to ride in a friend's Macan... Great ride...I'd pick Porsche over any other brand everytime... Unless I wanted a lux cruiser then a Bentley Conti Convertable.
The OPF filters are making every euro car so much less exciting. I used to have a 2016 Turbo S and that thing was easily twice as loud as what I heard in that video. Shame really. Edit: oops meant to say Turbo, not Turbo S. There was not Turbo S Macan, my bad.
It's actually a great car, but there's only one problem, and it's not just with the Macan. How did Porsche come up with the idea of integrating Apple CarPlay but not AndroidAuto? An absolute no-go and incomprehensible to me.
i love it ... i had my eyes on the glc 43amg and X3 comp ... but listening to your review you explain better details.. the Macan has the benchmark over its rivals
Maybe.... I recently took delivery of my GLC 43 Coupe and it does live up to the RBR Review....returning a 2018 Macan. Without a doubt the Macan does have exceptional steering and ride stability, but it's in the last year of Porsche's 7 year design cycle. The Porsche mystic / prestige with necessary option can be at a 25% premium. I also drove the X4 Comp.... I wouldn't take your eye off the MB/BMW maxed out on options and only in the 2nd year of redesigns.
follow your channel for years. have around 150 channels i follow. i dont understand why you dont have 1-2 million subscribers. It really bothers me, because it seems that thousands of idiot channel has it with no reel content. AFF. Love your channel though
Maybe the turbo is good in some areas. But underpower is the biggest weakness for performance cars. Its straight line time is slower than GLC63S by around 0.5s in multiple tests and 0.6-0.7 seconds slower than X3/4M. That's unacceptable.
Awesome review! But the right pronunciation of Macan which means tiger in Indonesian language is “Ma-Chant”. Ma like Jack Ma. Chant like chant in chant-ing or en-chant-ed.
Drove my first Porsche recently which was a Macan but the base model of this new generation. Damn I love how the Turbo sounds. The doctor (they work with at clinic) who let me drive it for a few minutes said it didn't count as my first Porsche though lol 🤣 . He owns a 991.2 GT3.
I don't get this pops and bangs fad It's almost as bad as the 2000s massive exhausts That car sounds amazing just as it is. You don't need to hear the engine committing suicide for a car to sound good.
I’m selling my 997.1 Turbo for a Macan Turbo. I hate the sound of this 2020 which is certainly in my price point. I think I’ll opt for a 2019 Turbo with low miles. The old Macan Turbo had a much sweeter throaty sound and that is half of the experience with any Porsche, even with 40 less HP. What a shame that they had to go this route. Unless they come up with some special editions Macan R or the like with larger engines then the 2019 Turbo and the GTS could go down as the last great Macans.
I have owned a Macan S for three years. Pretty disappointed at how the interior has aged - lots of creaking and vibration noise. I wonder if the quality bar is lower than for the 911 as it’s a volume vehicle.
Well, saying the Macan Turbo has its own niche of the market, seems like a friendly Porsche way of putting it. The raw truth is that the Macan Turbo doesn't get enough power from its V6 to go against its top competitors in terms of power. 😉
That is so true! The Stelvio Quadrifoglio and X3M both have 70 horsepower more with six cylinder engines, and the GLC63 has a V8... Porsche have been pretty sloppy with this lineups powertrain
I have a 911 and my wife has a Macan. We’re a very lucky and happy couple!
I have a pre-facelift Macan S and it's by far the best car I've ever owned. I absolutely love it.
Still great looking cars

I tested it and decided to go for V8 from MB. Sound is annoying, interior is basic plastic. More reliable than MB but not as luxurious or powerful.
Why this blend between car review and 3d graphics? It's kind of awesome.

porsche isn’t selling a single vehicle that even just looks mediocre in this generation
Yes
So true
@Hey no its their specific style. Even the Taycan looks like a Porsche.
take a look at their sales
Just bought a Macan S. Plenty of power for me especially in the UK where our roads are full of potholes and ridges. Fantastic car.
What other cars did you test as well? I’m about to buy my next SUV and want to hear your feedback

Can't wait for the merch and website
Also this car sounds amazing

absolutely loved this, 2 years later...thank you Sir
It might be indeed more refined inside, but the cabin noise on your video didn't sell it that way to be honest.
actually the cabin noise made it almost impossible to hear your review
I think he might have blended the mic that was outside near the exhaust with the sound from in the cabin so that we could hear the engine noise and not just him talking. Personally, I liked it.
edit: He commented saying his main mic failed, so he used the mic from the camera
My next car for sure.
How do you only have 277k subs in astonishing you should at least have 1.5 mill with the quality of the content
How does it compare to your pre-facelift Macan turbo?
Is there much difference in the exhaust sound between the turbo and the GTS?
great review. would appreciate your review and thoughts on the 2020 Macan GTS model at some point in the future.
Loved the breakdown comparisons. Presentation is well done. U got a new subscriber
Looks of the Macaan > Looks of the Cayenne
What’s a better driving or overall better buy the 2020 Porsche macan Gts or 2020 Mercedes glc 43 Amg coupe

my dude another suv video where you didnt even show the back seats let alone talk about them or the storage capacity
The previous generation Macan had an amazing sound compared to the new one. I think that's in part due to the OPF and also the smaller engine size.
I think the OPF is ruining everything coming out of Europe these days.
Softlimiters 😤
do you know if the 2021 macan will have the similar interior as the cayeen and panamera?
The next Macan will be electric, but I guess there will be similar interiors
@@timwin7155 i pretty sure it will be electric or gas
@@timwin7155 The next Macan will have an electric option along side petrol options. The petrol is not going away any time soon.

I think we all have a question for Mr AMG, would you rather have any Porsche or any AMG?
I think the attraction of AMG is their V8 engines, otherwise handling and dynamics Porsche eats AMG for breakfast lunch n tea

I loved the pre-facelift macan and still i like that more.
Wow, it is so quite inside this car, he is whispering and we can still hear him!
I think it sounds really loud 💁🏻♂️

Raz, great video review as always, but it feels like you aren’t aware the GTS is out there? Which I’m sure is incorrect!
Fantastic car! Great review!
The sound quality whilst driving was poor, not up to your usual standard.
Indeed buddy, mic failed. Luckily the Sony main cam saved us! If I relied on go pro we’d have no video 😆
It weighs the same as an M5. Seems perfect for something its size.

it feels like everyone borrows some stuff from audi, Urus from the Q8, cayen from Q5.. or its just my idea?

lol, it's an SUV dummy.
Great job, great review
they say that the 2.0 248hp Macan version corners better than the more powerful versions due to the lighter smaller engine
Just noted that you have never done a review of the SL 63

That front end is all 918.

wrong it was the 986 saved porsche first then cayenne

You mention Android auto unfortunately Porsche still don't support Android auto. I wish they did
Echelon is pronounced “eshelon”, not “ekelon”. Just saying, if you are to use non-standard words, at least look them up or something.
I’d take an RS4
totally different concept tho
Those 5 spoke black wheels look horrendous
it's just wheels
I'd still take the X3M tho, its faster, more practical and you sit higher, which is what you want if you are buying an SUV
wrong, wrong, wrong. x3m is only faster if 0-60 and top speed is all you care about. and I'm pretty sure a macan sits higher than an m340i
BMW invented the hot V
The word is 'omission' not 'emission'.
The first macan turbo looked better!
I disagree on the point of interior class accessibility or at least on the point of Audi. An RSQ3 has an interior very similar to an RS6
This does not have Android Auto.
