I have a 15 Macan Turbo and it is a blast to drive. I have even autocrossed it to much the surprise of many other cars. Great vehicle, very comfortable and easy to drive.

We did the same and importantly the Macan passed wife’s 2 hockey bags test!. I am 1 month, 2400 Miles into the ownership and I can say it is a blast to drive. The power on tap is absurd and my lord the continuous torque delivery is addicting. Regarding the PSE, others have stated it being not loud enough but it is more than adequate for me. It wails from 3000+ RPM in sports mode and quite entertaining around 5000RPM I have the steering wheel quick access key, the diamond symbol button, set to PSE so I can enjoy it even in comfy mode with the family.

porshanut is on a distinguished road
I traded my '16 Carrera S on a Macan GTS in September. I love the GTS and for everyday driving it is fabulous! Drives like a big 911. Love the lower suspension and PSE with the GTS. I drive in the sport mode 90% of the time. I do miss having a 911 in the garage to wash wax and drive, so I just ordered a Carrera T to fill that square.

early days but... picked up our new Macan Turbo PP yesterday, loads of options which I will figure out eventually. Only driven 130kms so far, but first impressions are great. Took the family out for a drive into Zurich today very comfortable drive, plenty of power on tap for a car this size. Heated seats this time of year well worth it, need to figure out the heated steering wheel. Winter tyres a little noisy, but to be expected, should be a hoot with the summers on a warmer weather.

I will get some photos up at a later date, a bit dirty already, here's a couple from the dealer ad.

thanks for the feedback, still not driven mine a lot, but sure you are going to love it. I copied one of the other chaps and set the diamond marked button on the steering wheel to activate the sports exhaust, the noise is addictive.

We have both a 997.2 4S and a Macan S -- great combo. I would never get rid off my 911 for a Macan though. Just my two cents.

I am with you on that, we have a 996 GT2 and the Macan Turbo PP, both great cars but we have them for different purposes, I don't think they can match each other because of those differences. GT2 is pure animal and the Macan an uber cruiser.
