Hi guys and gals, 1st world problems here! Haha
Currently have a 66plate S4 avant which I absolutely love! I normally keep my cars for 1.5-2 yrs and am feeling the itch again to change cars.
Test drove a Macan GTS today. I live in London and there was crazy traffic in central today so I didn’t really get a good feel of the car, and felt a little underwhelmed compared to my S4.Obviously the s4 is way quicker which I expected. However what surprised me was that for a £15k difference the Macan felt less premium then the S4, maybe it was the lack of tech on the Macan compared to the S4 (S4 is the new Audi interiors,while the Macan is still the “older” version , which will probably be refreshed next year)
I did like sitting higher, as I’ve only ever owned cars, and never owned an actual SUV, so maybe it was the novelty, but I liked it.
Now here is the funny thing, as I mentioned earlier the car didn’t feel as premium to me compared to the Audi when I was driving it, HOWEVER ! once I was back in the Audi , I was totally wrong ! Yes the Audi has more tech , and the seats are so much nicer, but as a whole , the S4 felt less put together then the Macan (if that makes sense) and looking back the macan might of felt more premium after all
Well now I’m unsure what to do, but luckily I am getting the macan for 2 hrs on Saturday to take it on a proper test drive, by myself
I am also looking at a 2 yrs old RS6, it has been my dream car for a long time, only reservation is interior feels dated .
Anyway, just thought I would share my feeling with a little rant! Hahaha and would love to hear some thoughts and opinions for all of you macan owners, and what cars you guys came from (before the macan)
