Doug’s scores are objective, not subjective. This car’s interior is objectively 7/10 of the way between Trabant and Phantom, even if its “good for the money”.
Swear to god he is so bad at “scores” What really pisses me off is that he doesn’t even categorise his cars for scores, because it isn’t fair to score an SUV and a super car (space, comfy etc...)
that's because it seems he has little background or experience with this car. Like watching anyone review a car... well, I like the cupholders, the wheels, and the obvious.... blah blah blah..... NOW CHECK OUT @LOOSE-BOLTS COMMENT 👇👇👇

Porsche: "It's been 5 years. I think it's time to redesign this car" Porsche Designer: "Okay great, let me add 4 LEDs to the headlights and we should be good."
6:04 it is a reference to about 40 years ago when porsche was participating in the Le Mans. The start of the race was outside of the car. The second the race began the drivers had to get in, start the car, put it in first gear and go. Porsche had the ignition on the left side so the driver could start the car with the left hand and put it in gear with the right hand
I’m sure Doug knows that but it is curious that you still turn a pseudo key (that you can also remove and is separate from the actual keyless key) and not just have push button start on the left like basically all other luxury cars
He was referencing why there was a key fob stuck in the ignition; not the fact that the key fob was on the left. And it’s a common misconception that Porsche put the key on the left for Le Mans starts, they put the key on the left because when they were building early 356s during the war putting the ignition on the left used less materials, and they continued on the tradition once the figured out that it made it a little easier for Le Mans starts.
Lol I can imagine that is a handy feature to launch to your office in a morning commute (no joke, this is literally multitasking). Get in Foot on the brake Left hand for ignition Right hand to put gear lever in D and sport mode on Now launch.... 😏
My friend opened an unlocked door once, pushed the headlight knob in to turn them off, closed the door, then turned and the woman whose car it was was walking out and flipped shit lol My friend was just like 🤷🏻♀️ you’re welcome you ingrate.
I think the reason Porsche keeps the twisting "key" to the left of the steering wheel is because it's a callback to classic Porsche race-cars. In LeMans, for example, the driver would jump in the driver seat and then be able to turn the car on with one hand, while using the other hand to put it into gear. TL;DR - racing tradition.
It's the whole "Made in Germany" marketing. Every German car manufacturer has their own number plate series from their home town, S from Stuttgart in the case of Porsche. 8 is considered to be a lucky number in China, it makes sense the car has at least one 8 on its number plate. So the plate says "Made in Stuttgart, Germany, good fortunes for the owner".
14:40 I think the relative temperature control makes a lot of sense. The rear seat passenger doesnt care what the exact temperature is. They just want it warmer or cooler than what the front seat people have set the temp at.
I've never been a huge Porsche fan, but that interior is literally perfect. I like the physical dials and the fake key ignition, it's just satisfying and familiar.
That 'lever' you talking about is an ignition key from a long Porsche racing heritage. Back in the day, racing driver didn't start from inside their car. They have to run from outside, get in their car, and start their own car. Putting the key slot on the left will give Porsche driver advantage so they can put it into gear with the other hand. Instead of installing an engine start-stop button they kept it that way to honor that history.
1. Offroad button raised the vehicle 40mm, splits AWD bias to 50/50 split (instead of 20/80 split in Sport Mode) it also changes the shift points for the transmission, expecting you're driving at slower speeds and steeper angles 2. The blank key can be removed, and you can use the key fob instead to start the car, but it's a convenient thing not needing to put your key fob in and out. 3. Cargo area: there's a hidden air pump behind left panel, the huge battery is under the floor panel, along with the spare, tools, jack, and subwoofer for those Bose/Burm equipped
Nice… I’ve also read that Porsche Racing originally designed it on the left side so you could start the engine as you got on it. I’m referring to the ignition switch. This was when Race Car drivers had to run up to the car and get in, they weren’t in the car like they are now. I’m not sure but I’m thinking Fred Flintstone drove a Porsche 😂
@I COME FROM SUN Has more to do with the large population than anything. There are way, way more "Porsches per capita" in the U.S. than anywhere in Asia.
@I COME FROM SUN looking at average wages in usa, I'm sure a lot of people could afford a porsche with normal savings, not many parts of asia could do the same
The fixed starting key on the left side of the steering wheel is in remembrance of early Le Mans Races where the drivers had to start the cars themselves at the start of the race on that exact spot
I think he actually knows. I'm pretty sure he mentioned it in a previous Porsche review. What he is questioning is why it's a fixed key instead of just a start button like all other cars...
I mean... it may be a call back to some cool thing, but what's the point really? It's just less convenient and serves the same function as a push-button start.
@Stone Cold Steve Autism Not MY wedding. I'm too smart to ever get married. I know that it is a scam and I will never risk having to pay alimony to a stranger that I want to have nothing to do with anymore.
The Offroad button doesn‘t only adapt systems like shifting and torque split, most importantly it lifts the car additional 40mm - with the air suspension. So: it HAS a really useful function.
Doug: I have a 2018 Macan S and love it! The reason Porsches have the key on the left side of the steering wheel is tradition. Think about the Porsches and even corvettes of the 50s and 60s. The ignition key was on the left. That’s because in those days race car drivers had to run across the paddock and start their cars. Turn the key on the left and use one’s right hand to shift into 1st.
And this is how an infotainment system SHOULD be done in all modern cars: Have that big fancy touch screen in the center that controls EVERYTHING in great detail, while STILL having buttons to quickly and easily control the essentials like climate and radio WITHOUT it being too distracting to safely do so while driving. BRAVO!
Hear hear well said, I wonder if any insurance companies keep track of accidents of people fucking about with their screens and not looking where they were going and having accidents because of it. mind you guessing no-one will admit they were looking at their screens when they shafted the car in front up the chuffer in any case, lol
I agree, this main selling point for the Macan is the performance and handling, infotainment gizmos isn’t its focus. I’m pretty much the same, just give me a GPS, an aux port, and a good sound system. I’m all for build quality and driving dynamics. I keep bouncing back and forth on wether I prefer the first gen over the face lifted version though. I am more partial to the exhaust note of the 1st gen V6 but an exhaust system could help with that. Hearing you refer to it as a lifted hot hatch (which is true) makes me really interested in seeing what one of these would look like lowered.
How about an additional Doug Score category: *Depreciation* (anticipated for new cars, actual for older ones)? In this category the Macan would score much better than the BMW or Mercedes Benz competitors.
I think the value category tries to be that... that said, the value category is the one I give Doug the most crap for. He'll spend all video saying something is a great value and then give it 5/10. Everything is 4-7 out of 10.
As a current 2015 Macan Turbo owner & longtime BMW owner, I'll let you know that the benefit of lower depreciation is swallowed up by truly insane service costs. Porsche service is at least double BMW & Mercedes prices. Examples: $150 to fix one of the strings on the cargo cover. The dealer called me & asked if I wanted them to just leave it broken because they knew how insane the number was. Stock Turbo brake job? That'll be $3k. That (non-trivial) quibble aside, I absolutely love my Macan. If you only have one garage space and aren't single, there's no better all-around vehicle on the market. The GTS is the sweet spot and can be had for only a couple grand more than this review car.

Dude, I don't know if you still read comments after the video has been up for three days but the deal about the alien? THAT is one of the reasons you are absolutely among my favorite UA-camrs basically of all time. Your knowledge of the automotive industry as a whole, pointing out things in a clear concise way and keeping things moving quickly is just damn awesome but then the added crazy humor you occasionally throw in basically is the rug that ties the whole room together! Rock on brother!
That "lever" looks the way it looks for the same reason it's on the left of the steering wheel - heritage. It's an hommage to the old race-car Porsches dating back as far as the 50s, where the ignition was on the left side of the steering wheel, so you could start up the engine while jumping into it - given that these races started with a sprint to the car and getting into it. That split second advantage meant you were off the line ever so slightly faster. - stupid, I know, yet a nice Quirk :)
And I have a cayenne s 2013 since new and the only issue I had was a malfunctioning door handle button. It even still runs on the original factory battery which is almost 7 years old though I live in a hot region
I love the fact you can still buy a brand new high end car and still get analog dials but also have a big screen, I also like the physical buttons. I want one of these.!
Doug: Okay im gonna review the new Macan, you know, the usual Also Doug, at 16:04: Look at that, that is an alien. There is a guy and he is sitting in front of an alien and he should really report this alien sighting to the authorities.
I remember the first time I saw one of these was at a gas station in the posh part of town. It was owned by a 20 year old young man and he bought it himself. (: He did mention that His parents wouldn’t let Him buy the Turbo or upgraded power model. Only the base Macan. (:
"You have to guess or ask about the temperature..." For gods sake... What?! Why is it neccessary to know the temperature value?? If it's too cold for you in the back, turn up the heating. If it's too hot, increase cooling. Geeky theorising mixed with real-world incompetence to the max!
I have a 2018 GTS in Volcano Gray with those exact same wheels. I love those wheels. Definitely the best overall car that I have ever owned in terms of being practical but also fun and interesting to drive.
Matthew Gaither I have a 2017 Macan S in volcano Grey also. My forth Porsche and by far the most comfortable and cool daily driver. You have good taste lol. Cheers
The Porsche Macan uses a heavily revised version of the Audi Q5 8R (2008-17) which is part of the VWs MLB (modularer Längsbaukasten - modular longitudinal front-engine platform) family. Great driving car, not very spacious, well build, quick PDK gearbox. I drove the Diesel S of the pre-facelift model. Enjoyed the review 👍🏼
Love Doug’s reviews and also happen to own a 2016 Macan S and love it. And for those of you who believe this car is the same as the Audi Q5 I would invite you to drive BOTH then compare like I did. The Porsche is a different animal altogether and a much superior product-better handling, “fits” both me (6’1”) and my wife (5’3) perfectly, PDK transmission outstanding. Much better overall car than the Audi.
@@Colby_00 the car has been great, no issues except for a loose rear view mirror. Probably the best handling SUV in its class. Couldn’t be happier with our choice.
@@thedudeabides1443 LOL I just bought one and my mirror fell off right away. I bent the little tabs and so far so good! Otherwise I love this thing! I normally hate SUV's but this TRULY drives like a Porsche!
Was looking for someone to point that out, the ignition being on the left so you can put your seatbelt on with your right hand and turn the ignition on with your left hand
Doug, please don't start doing like other reviewers and ignore how it rides. I didn't hear anything about the compliance of the suspension. It seems like over time every car reviewer just begins to focus on how a car/suv would perform on a track and forget about how 95% will use the car.
Daniel Jones Yeah I disagree with his comps. Just because they're the same size doesn't make them competitors. It's kind of its own class - interior quality like X5/GLE but in smaller, sportier package. The full leather option on the Macan is gorgeous.
Butnaru Good point. I didn't think of it or the Levante because despite my ethnic roots, I'm not brave enough to consider an Italian car for a daily driver.
Porsche uses the left ignition lever because of the Le Mans history, they won many races because the lever was in the left, so the pilot can turn on the car with the left hand, put first gear with the right hand, and press the clutch with the feet, at the same time. that saved them time at the start line on every Le Mans race.
I like how the climate control works on the rear sears... if you're cold, just turn the temperature hotter, no need to know what temp they have in the front.
The Off Road Button alters the torque split between the front and rear axle. Normally it is biased more to the rear axle. When you engage the off road button it starts it more of a 50/50 torque split.

Doug is the type of guy to judge a car on the amount of Cupholders
You should do a reaction video for “the type of guy” comments and give em a doug score. That would be hilarious 😂
Actually that's a great idea for the More Doug channel....hope he reads your comment & considers it.
$5 dollars each time he says Macan. We’re getting a bag! 💰
Make this a drinking game!
Five cubic dollars?
How about an additional Doug Score category: *Depreciation* (anticipated for new cars, actual for older ones)?
In this category the Macan would score much better than the BMW or Mercedes Benz competitors.
I think the value category tries to be that... that said, the value category is the one I give Doug the most crap for. He'll spend all video saying something is a great value and then give it 5/10. Everything is 4-7 out of 10.
As a current 2015 Macan Turbo owner & longtime BMW owner, I'll let you know that the benefit of lower depreciation is swallowed up by truly insane service costs. Porsche service is at least double BMW & Mercedes prices.
Examples: $150 to fix one of the strings on the cargo cover. The dealer called me & asked if I wanted them to just leave it broken because they knew how insane the number was. Stock Turbo brake job? That'll be $3k.
That (non-trivial) quibble aside, I absolutely love my Macan. If you only have one garage space and aren't single, there's no better all-around vehicle on the market. The GTS is the sweet spot and can be had for only a couple grand more than this review car.
@@canyonaro you should learn to do this yourself buddy
It's the Doug score, not Doug and Simon score!!!

if you dont have a mechanic in the family, befriend someone who is. i have an old land rover and my step brother has saved me thousands
Dude, I don't know if you still read comments after the video has been up for three days but the deal about the alien? THAT is one of the reasons you are absolutely among my favorite UA-camrs basically of all time. Your knowledge of the automotive industry as a whole, pointing out things in a clear concise way and keeping things moving quickly is just damn awesome but then the added crazy humor you occasionally throw in basically is the rug that ties the whole room together! Rock on brother!
My only question is why don't they called it a Pecan, along with their Cayenne Pepper
"Pecan, a car a nut would buy".
It was actually gonna be called the Cajun but Porsche changed their mind when they released it...... seriously no joke
@@G-..- lame
GS979 and I believe Macan isn’t even the proper pronunciation but no ones got time for that
In development the Macan was nicknamed the Cajun - as in Cayenne Jr
Environmentalists in Europe: „A VW Tiguan is a climate killer!“
People in the US: „The Porsche Macan is a „small“ SUV.“
Also lying about emissions.
Der Deutsche it really is.
@@youngcho6807 Have you ever read a book in your life? Then you should feel familiar with this
@@florianj6490 American English never uses commas for quoting, only quotation marks. but in typed text you just italicize normally
In Germany the Macan is called murder tool (Mordwerkzeug)

Doug is the type of guy who would set his climate controls to 80°F.
yes i also like buttons, a button is easier to find then messing with the touch screen on a screen fab dial.
Yeah, as often as he complains about infotainment systems being confusing, you would think he could appreciate physical buttons.

That "lever" looks the way it looks for the same reason it's on the left of the steering wheel - heritage. It's an hommage to the old race-car Porsches dating back as far as the 50s, where the ignition was on the left side of the steering wheel, so you could start up the engine while jumping into it - given that these races started with a sprint to the car and getting into it. That split second advantage meant you were off the line ever so slightly faster. - stupid, I know, yet a nice Quirk :)
Doug the type of guy to ask the doctor wether his organs have any quirks or features after an MRI.
I have a 2015 Macan S and I absolutely am crazy about the car. In 4 years not a single issue and it drives like a boss!
And I have a cayenne s 2013 since new and the only issue I had was a malfunctioning door handle button. It even still runs on the original factory battery which is almost 7 years old though I live in a hot region
I love the fact you can still buy a brand new high end car and still get analog dials but also have a big screen, I also like the physical buttons. I want one of these.!
Doug: Okay im gonna review the new Macan, you know, the usual
Also Doug, at 16:04: Look at that, that is an alien. There is a guy and he is sitting in front of an alien and he should really report this alien sighting to the authorities.

"Hey honey how many times do you think I can say macan in my review before someone has to write a comment about it?"
Well, how many times did it take? 🤣
I remember the first time I saw one of these was at a gas station in the posh part of town. It was owned by a 20 year old young man and he bought it himself. (:
He did mention that His parents wouldn’t let Him buy the Turbo or upgraded power model. Only the base Macan. (:
ricky v your point???
You asked his job?
"You have to guess or ask about the temperature..."
For gods sake... What?! Why is it neccessary to know the temperature value?? If it's too cold for you in the back, turn up the heating. If it's too hot, increase cooling.
Geeky theorising mixed with real-world incompetence to the max!
Lol your Linda right tho
Doug the kind of guy to ask random civilians on the streets for the exact ambient temperature.
I love hearing “Thhhhhis....”.
Who else agrees?
Somebody should make a mix of all those "This…"s.
I have a 2018 GTS in Volcano Gray with those exact same wheels. I love those wheels. Definitely the best overall car that I have ever owned in terms of being practical but also fun and interesting to drive.
Matthew Gaither I have a 2017 Macan S in volcano Grey also. My forth Porsche and by far the most comfortable and cool daily driver. You have good taste lol. Cheers
I feel it's a common theme to see doctors driving this.
Turbo titty itch There is one person in my town who owns a Macan and they are a doctor
Mine does lol

Great. So in the US a Macan S is $61K, and in the netherlands a base BMW X3 with 184 HP is $67k. Amazing.
In India that x3 costs 77k USD on road price.
Automobile especially 4wheelers are quite cheap in USA and Arabian countries.
in my country the Macan S should be like $150k
€99k voor een Macan S in ons klote belastinglandje ja

Helaasch..
The Porsche Macan uses a heavily revised version of the Audi Q5 8R (2008-17) which is part of the VWs MLB (modularer Längsbaukasten - modular longitudinal front-engine platform) family.
Great driving car, not very spacious, well build, quick PDK gearbox. I drove the Diesel S of the pre-facelift model.
Enjoyed the review 👍🏼
Come on Doug, get with the program. You don't seat tall people in back. You have them climb onto to the roof and hold on to the roof rack
We are going area 51 with this car so we can return the aliens

Love Doug’s reviews and also happen to own a 2016 Macan S and love it. And for those of you who believe this car is the same as the Audi Q5 I would invite you to drive BOTH then compare like I did. The Porsche is a different animal altogether and a much superior product-better handling, “fits” both me (6’1”) and my wife (5’3) perfectly, PDK transmission outstanding. Much better overall car than the Audi.
Thinking of buying a used one. Do you have an update?
@@Colby_00 the car has been great, no issues except for a loose rear view mirror. Probably the best handling SUV in its class. Couldn’t be happier with our choice.
@@thedudeabides1443 thank you for that testament!
@@thedudeabides1443 LOL I just bought one and my mirror fell off right away. I bent the little tabs and so far so good! Otherwise I love this thing! I normally hate SUV's but this TRULY drives like a Porsche!
Classic Doug quirk: undershirt under a regular tee.
He took it next level and had his under tee coming out the sleeves not just the collar hahaaa
6:00 it’s there to remember the Le Mans days where you had got run to your car and turn it on.
Was looking for someone to point that out, the ignition being on the left so you can put your seatbelt on with your right hand and turn the ignition on with your left hand
Scrolled for awhile to make sure Someone brought this up !
@@ivzh5025 Lol the drivers were just jumping in and driving off without their harnesses on. That's why Le Mans stopped doing a running start.
Pick ours up this week can't wait
Doug, please don't start doing like other reviewers and ignore how it rides. I didn't hear anything about the compliance of the suspension. It seems like over time every car reviewer just begins to focus on how a car/suv would perform on a track and forget about how 95% will use the car.
^^^^
"Its expensive. its $60,000"
Me: *Laughs in Ford F-350 Platinum*
Daniel Jones Yeah I disagree with his comps. Just because they're the same size doesn't make them competitors. It's kind of its own class - interior quality like X5/GLE but in smaller, sportier package. The full leather option on the Macan is gorgeous.
@@canyonaro Alfa Romeo Stelvio QF?
Butnaru Good point. I didn't think of it or the Levante because despite my ethnic roots, I'm not brave enough to consider an Italian car for a daily driver.
🤦🏻♂️ the F-350 can tow about 8 of these Macans, so it’s appropriately priced as a truck
You buy a Porsche for the driving experience, not like a F350 tank
Porsche uses the left ignition lever because of the Le Mans history, they won many races because the lever was in the left, so the pilot can turn on the car with the left hand, put first gear with the right hand, and press the clutch with the feet, at the same time. that saved them time at the start line on every Le Mans race.

I like how the climate control works on the rear sears... if you're cold, just turn the temperature hotter, no need to know what temp they have in the front.
16:16 it's not just an alien, is E.T!!
16:05 LMAO Doug you killed me there
The Off Road Button alters the torque split between the front and rear axle.
Normally it is biased more to the rear axle. When you engage the off road button it starts it more of a 50/50 torque split.
Oversteer squad were u at
Also where's my roasting of the infiniti QX80
Nicholas Artuso The Qx80 is absolutely horrible for its price point however picking up a used one with a $30,000 price cut isn’t too shabby
It’s a great deal used, reliable and great off-road.
I literally got a Nissan Patrol ad while reading your comment.
I really enjoy reading oversteer. Check up everyday.
Falcon King I got a GMC Sierra 2 door advertisement.
I've driven the GTS one, it has some decent sound to it.
My mom has this car, and it is great! It is so comfortable, has a quick acceleration, and is surprisingly reliable.
