Re: Is the Macan GTS the perfect one car garage?

The MK-8 golf R with performance package, front and rear smart diffs is an amazing car, half the price of the macan GTS, i do love driving the macan GTS, but in day to day driving the Golf is a package hard to beat.

Re: Macans are about to be uninsurable!
