Excellent news, there will be more Q5 & XC60 on the roads and selfishly, I will keep enjoying my Macan

Does your Macan jiggle you?

My SD on PASM and 20" Spyders did not.

My Turbo on Air and 20" spyders definitely does not.

The only Macan that jiggled me was the S on 21" rims and no PASM.

From their conclusions that the Macan lacks safety features, its NCAP 5 and has rear side airbags available if you want them so where is the problems.

You pays your money and takes your choice, Macan it is then.

The PCP claim is dubious too.

I don't think Porsche spend much advertising in whatcar.
The magazines have been asleep at the wheel on dieselgate , but they need to keep their paymasters sweet

At least they chose the right colour Macan as a test specimen

It does look good in Sapphire

(although in some of the photos it looks more like a flat PTS colour like Mexico Blue).

Unusual to see a standard interior in the Alcantara/leatherette finish.

The Macan only got 3 stars. Are the Audi and Volvo really that much better?

I think it depends on how you prioritise the various features & strengths of the three cars.

And the Macan is 25% more expensive than the other two, so perceived value for money will figure too...
