Nice detailed review. You mentioned the GV70, I bought a 2022 3.5 Sport Prestige, had the Macan been reasonably close in price I would have bought one. But (todays prices) a fully loaded GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige is $70K. A comparable Macan performance wise would be the Macan S, matching specs to the Genesis using the Porsche configurator the Macan S would be $95K, and you still don't get blind spot cameras, 3D instrument cluster, driver massage, and concierge service for 3 years and a 10 year warranty. The Porshe is the performance king, no doubt, but how often do you drive flat out, and I couldn't justify the $25K difference.

Love your content. You're on top of it. But, I don't want to be the jerk grammar police. I notice you say "asphyxiated" when referring to the rear window wiper. The word you want is affixed. Not trying to be a butt. Just trying to help. Keep up the great content.

Why anyone would choose the 4 is puzzling. It's like buying a Nikon/Canon camera body and sticking a Sigma lens on the front. The specs are decent 300lb ft tq is nice. But the 2.9 L 6 is where the real power starts to happen. Aaaand more options for tune, exhaust, turbo upgrade etc.

When I decided to replace my last car, I looked at dozens of replacements and didn't find anything I liked until I came across the Macan. Ended up buying the base model w/$17k in options and have no regrets. The performance is adequate, the handling is amazing, fit and finish near perfect and it looks so nice.

I'm in love with Porsche SUV's and I buy this.

48v mild hybrid is definitely a bad idea. Not reliable at all. They had to use it to pass the emission regulations.

Great car, but there were two issues for me. First, I have a small garage, and second was the price for content. The Macan is several inches wider than the 2024 X2 so it would be a squeeze getting both my cars in the garage. Also at the same equipment levels, the M35 X2 is $17k less and has 40 more horsepower. For those reasons I’ll put up with the clumsy styling job on the X2 and bought one.

Expensive, but very nice.

Excellent review bro.

Love my new 2024 Macan. Wish it had the Heads up display like my 2018 CX9. Got used to seeing the speed and speed limit and whats around at all times.
