Welcome, Rgassaf!

Hopefully you'll soon move from Audi to Porsche!

The Macan is a fine car, in all guises! :)

Welcome.

Loyal Audi...... I will make a prediction, test drive a Macan and your loyalty to Audi will be no more.

All Macans a superb, they all ride and handle better than anything in the class of vehicle and the ride quality is far superior.

How well they accelerate depends upon what engine you choose, as for handling the GTS and Turbo PP have their suspension tuned for maximum handling performance, that is not to say the rest handle badly, it is a question of including the correct extras in your configuration if handling and ride comfort is important.

Do read up on the sticky post in the orders section which gives a lot of information of what to include.

As for test driving, when you do drive a Macan please make a note of what extras are included in the car and take images, you can then refer to the notes and images during the many hours of time spent configuring the Macan.

Welcome. :D

I too am a bit of an Audi fan but the Macan handles better and feels more "special" inside.

Welcome Rgassaf. I have and Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI (same engine as the 2.0 Macan) and a Porsche Macan GTS so if you want comparisons just ask. Others here have the same stable too

Welcome.

I am another Audi owner for several years and several models and I will be Audiless in about 2 weeks when my final audi is swapped for another make car.
All my Audi's have been faultless and great value but moving from a Q5 / SQ5 last year to the Macan GTS is a different league. This is not to say Audi are bad but just porsche is another level on he driving experience imo.
You can forget the Macan is an SUV sometimes (well the GTS I drive).
All Macans drive. Wet well indeed.
Plenty of great advice on this forum 😊
GTS 😀

Hi and welcome.
This is a great forum and helped me loads when I was in the process of purchasing my Macan GTS.
6 months since I bought it and I am still thrilled every time I drive it. Audi is great but you won't regret a change to Porsche and the Macan. It's worth the extra premium over other great premium car brands such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Plus Porsche is far better quality and value than super brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari and Bentley (in my opinion).
