I have a 2017 Macan GTS & your review of it back then was the final factor in purchasing one. I have had some awesome vehicles over the years but this one is by far the best all around for comfort, practicallity and handling. What I didn't expect was over 50,000 miles of zero problems. The most reliable vehicle I have owned. Keep it up Porsche!

I'm lucky to own a '14 Cayenne GTS since new and it is definitely the most reliable car I've seen. 70k of city miles and the only things to have been fixed were the A/C and the suspension air bag (which tends to leak after 8 years of pothole treatment). German quality or Porsche quality? Maybe both. I've brought my '21 Volvo in the shop more than that

I got a GTS '22 and I use the Sport mode when cruising alone and Sport+ when "having a bit of fun" driving. The Sport mode actually sounds better when driving, burbling more. Using the paddles on B-roads (and when Sport+ respone is wanted but it keeps a gear to low). It's the Macan GTS because Driving is fun, and the baby demands the space.

I'm asking because I own a car fleet of rentals and I'm expanding to more higher end because I love cars and I've always wanted to own at least two proches. I'm waiting for 2023 models.

have a '22 S - it's spec'd up past the entry price of the GTS - an equivalently spec'd GTS would have only set me back another 7-8k, but did not feel the extra power from the same platform was worth it. I also wanted it to be as comfy as possible (so 10mm lower/stiffer in all settings was not ideal). Final decider was that i didn't want black pipes/window surrounds on a dark grey car (not a fan of all blacked out look) Love my S - it's faster than i can really use on the street and drives on a cloud when just tooling around town. Best car i have ever owned, by far

One of the reasons i sold the 2020 Macan was the PCM system. It was slow to connect to CarPlay, and it did not make use off the real estate of the screen. It is slightly annoying they did not update the pcm like the 911, taycan, cayenne and panamera . But if you do not care about technology, this is a dream to drive :)

Hey S.Pipes. I have a 2021 GTS (loaded)...bought it myself...I'm 42, my 1st Porsche...I have a good job and work hard. OK, so I am a driver...I ring it out every time I drive and my wife isn't with me. Probably pissing off my neighbors big time. I hate paddle shifters so I almost never go in manual mode...the PDK is so damned good. BUT even in auto mode you can hit a paddle and force a shift. I do this often if I'm expecting to get on it to pass or do something on the highway....or if it is stuck in a low gear after flooring it and I want to drop the RPMs a bit. I will be getting the new GTS when my lease is up. I have been waiting for this video...thx!
