Congrats and nice review 👍

My test drive 2.5 years ago was in an SD and have to say it was superb.
Still can’t find anything to match the Macan overall satisfaction.
GTS 😀

Great write up of your Macan journey - congrats on the 1000th post! Only month 2 for me and I'm still smitten - walk out the front door in the morning and my Macan puts a smile on my face and that's before I drive it! :D

I've been a committed Audi man but wanting an SUV, the new shape Q5 was desperately dull and the SQ5, though quick is no more exciting. I was in a real quandary on what to buy. I never seriously imagined buying a Porsche until I saw my Macan advertised by my local OPC on Autotrader. The whole buying experience was fantastic and I have to say I can't imagine buying any other marque now :)

Hi SAC1,

Great review, I would agree with your comments, but cannot match your mpg! I don't thrash the car but rarely get above 30 mpg in normal use [based on filling the tank then refilling, not via cars computer] it can climb to 33 on a long run if all downhill :)

Hello Spicky
i've posted pic this before showing the on board gauge - averaging 61.5 mph over a 4 hour drive - here the 43.8 mpg is probably a true 40 mpg.

Her 50-mile commute is cross country for the first 10 miles or so then motorway to Belfast.

Congrats on your 1,000th post on our friendly forum! Or indeed your 1,006th now! ;)

Saw a couple of Macans out on the open road yesterday. Still a handsome car and best in class! :)

I'm glad your happy with the SD, mine has been a similar experience from the aloof dealers and no discounts to the same tyres at 42000miles and no drama other than the transfer box going a few thousand miles ago. MPG is steady at an average 43mpg with over 50 possible in slow traffic, but I do have a TDI performance duel channel box fitted from new :oops:
