Its great to seem them together again, it breaks my heart seeing couples apart.

I've never really thought about the center of gravity of tomato sauce, but you're absolutely right about it 😆

James: 6ft away--- 1 james away Thomas: he's actually 5ft 10

Great work guys, thanks. I bought a Macan S earlier this year. I'm one of those strange people that wants a very sporty SUV! Personally I feel like I need an SUV - I live in Sydney, Australia. My driveway and also in-laws, friends, often are steep and awkward and normal cars bottom out. Speed bumps (in parks, at the beach) get bigger as more people drive SUVs and utes. And the roads are a bit rubbish off the highway. Basically we live in a city where - in the suburbs - an SUV is a lot easier to live with. I know it's subjective, but I'm never going back to a car as my daily drive. My kids have their own cars, the back seats are very rarely used, and with the seats down the boot is actually quite big, great for all our stuff for a weekend away with the missus. I optioned Air suspension, (PASM comes standard here), the torque vector rear diff, sports chrono and a bunch of other 'driving' options and I love it. Air suspension drops it down a noticeable bit lower in Sports Plus and I feel like it makes as close as an suv is going to get to a hatchback for ripping through corners on back roads (which I do regularly btw, every few days I sneak off for a rip!). I tried all the alternative SUVs (X3M40i, GLC43, SQ5 etc) and they are amazing in a straight line but (again subjective I know) besides that I don't think they are a patch on the Macan, if you care about the 'fun drive' experience rather than a cruiser. I would love a Cayman but (and yes, I know, the Macan is not a sports car) but I feel like I get 80% of the fun in the Macan and it's a great daily driver too. I would never buy the Turbo, the S is plenty fast for me unless I wanted to take it to a track. In which case I'd get the Cayman or similar as my weekender. Keep up the great work, love the reviews.

These intros are the kind of hard hitting journalism that we need and deserve right now...

I think Throttle House needs to do a review of a current (2023-2024) Macan GTS. It will completely change their perspective on this little hot hatch from Porsche. Its a riot!

Thank you Thomas and James for this... I've really missed you guys being able to drive the cars and review them. I've enjoyed watching your quarantine videos but it feels great to see you guys out there together and back at it. I'm so looking forward to the future uploads. #ThrottleHouse4Life #Return2Form

Throttle house is my fav Car review channel

9:47 If you look closely, you can see the car's "eyes" move

Fun fact: the word 'macan' does mean tiger in Indonesian. The 'ma' is pronounced like it is in 'mark' and the 'c' is pronounced like how 'ch' is in 'channel'. Kind of like 'matcha' minus the 't' and with an 'n' added. If you keep the hard c sound, you get the Indonesian word for 'eat'.

Just got my Throttle House notification, life is good. I love these guys!

Throttle House is the only car channel I watch from start to end. I don’t even skip the intro just for that *slap* 😂

The undisputed, best channel/partners in crime on KZfaq. Much love, from South Africa 🔥

I rented a Macan Turbo though Turo last year, and it is probably the best vehicle I've ever driven. There are cars I've driven that are more fun, but it's still entertaining. There are cars I've driven that handle better, but the Macan is really sharp in Sport Plus. There are nicer interior spaces in cars, but the Macan has really great build quality and comfy seats. It simply does everything well, while not being totally numb or boring to drive. It's actually very expensive though... that's the thing that would keep me away from the Turbo trim level, even if I am having a hard time imagining the Macan any other way.

Just in case noone else says it: I really like the new camera perspective from inside the car looking at the road while driving. It's a great addition to your already great camera work.

Quite possibly my favorite channel for car reviews. You two never disappoint!

100% the most entertaining automotive channel on KZfaq. Savagegeese is a close second

OMFG THEY'RE BACK!!!

The fact that those two are together is one of the only indicators that quarantine is over. Gives me hope

“Tomato sauce has a lower center of gravity” 😂

From the first vid, every vid they make is the best. It has that.... spice and more. They are funny, and really in my opinion one of the best, if not the best car community youtubers

Man, it's great to see you guys out in the wild🔥

The next time someone says brunch, I will only think of James explanation

Favorite youtubers by far. Thanks guys

"Engineered the Audi out of it". God Bless Porsche.

We had two sons, aged about 6 and 4 when the Cayenne came out, and I thought, why in the world would someone want to buy a Porsche SUV?! Then the idea started to grow on me. We’ve owned 4-5 SUVs now, but never a Porsche. As I’ve gotten older and the kids are mostly independent, I’m more drawn to the Macan, just as a practical but still fun daily driver. Now I’d rather have the Macan than the larger Cayenne. I’ll still never buy either one, but it’s funny how tastes change as we get older.

I have a 2016 macan turbo and I absolutely love it! Im 6'5 and its perfect for me.

I strongly believe that this channel receives the fastest likes compared to all other automotive YT content. So glad to see outside of quarantine content :)

The way Thomas says "2020" is so soothing.

Great to see a new review after so long.

You’re looking fit Thomas! Good work!

It's nice to see TH review back!!!

I have a 17 Macan GTS as my daily and it blows me away everytime I get behind the wheel - ticks a LOT of boxes!

Missed you guys!!!! You are the best! Cheers from Quebec

the intro was amazing guys keep it up!!!!

My grandmother bought a Macan and I've driven it a bit and she asked me what I thought. And I said not to mark it down as a bad thing but it just drives like a bigger more powerful golf... I've had multiple golfs and it just reminded me of how they drive🤷‍♂️

Honesty, that is what I love about you, guys. And yeah, the goofy clips are somewhat entertaining. Keep it up!

Im so glad you guys are out again driving cars!

Love these intros. Never stop

Your intros are the best in the industry 😂

Great video guys, thank you we’ve missed you!!! Can’t wait to see you guys do more videos with the actual cars in person!!!

Seeing them in social distance mode is actually how I am with my friends. One step forth one step back. Like dancing at a distance.

Let’s go! Love the honesty in your reviews! Awesome video!

lmao, the seat buttons "look like a mario level". great seeing an actual car review on youtube again!

The initial sketch 😂

So happy to see you guys be able to be back at it

lovely to see you boys back !

PORSHE REVIEW Th has came thru as always 👍🏻

Glad you guys are back at it. Great review

Love the brunch analogy....brilliant!

Imagine u have like 150k sitting around and u choose to buy this Porsche out of literally any other Porsche

This channels has the best intros on youtube

I wanted a small, fast SUV and here's why I chose Macan over X4M, RSQ3, GLC63 and Stelvio: 1: High sitting position is a massive pro for visibility, safety and driving comfort 2: Porsche interior build quality. It matters - you spend 100% of the time driving INSIDE THE CAR:-) 3: Smaller size = easier to drive in old European cities (stelvio, gle, x6m are way too big for me) 4: Fast enough and PDK is easily the best gearbox 5: GLC63 was stiff as hell, not comfy at all. Terrible for longer road trips. 6: RSQ3 and GLC all have boy-racer interiors only, while Porsche you can also have nice wood/brown leather 7: X4M looks a bit strange and X3 design is obsolete in my opinion (of course taste is debatable) 8: Road presence of a Porsche is very nice and pleasant 9: This car just makes sense. If you want a fast, compact SUV that doesn't look weird and isn't all "need for speed" and you want to sit a little higher - it's the perfect car for you. I recommend it a LOT. It's easy to fall in love in the Macan:-) P.S. Your back doesn't hurt at all after a 1000km trip in a Macan. The seats are super comfy.

Another great review... 👍🏽

Yay, welcome back!!

You guys nailed the problem with this segment. The ride is compromised for the sake of handling. But the handling is nothing like a real sports car. I guess it's how you look at it. It's either the worst of all worlds or a swiss army knife that can do many things. Plus, this particular vehicle has precious little cargo space and you need a different set of wheels and tires for the winter.

Throttle House is the tomato sauce of car review channels: goes down well but too much gives you indigestion.

The intro sketch made me laugh so much

And that gentlemen is why we got the GTS with air suspension. Perfect balance.

Glad to see some new vids!!

Wow that's a nice car

Love your intros! 👍😂

The fact that don’t have 1mill subs blows my mind. Keep up the work guys 🤍

Another review from Throttle House, and this time it's even more amazing! Another one next few days please...

Reunited, and it feels so good.

This has to be the best thing that’s happened in months!! Been waiting for a normal video again! Thank you guys for your hard work!!

so interesting video! i love turbo!

You guys rock, I love ur vids !

My father picked up a previous gen Macan SE as his daily to replace a grand cherokee. He loves the size for around town and finds it fairly fun to take on weekend trips if he needs more space then his cayman.

ive actually never really been this early on throttle house

''Tomato sauce has as lower center of gravity'''..!! Haaahaa good one!!

Love the intros, and great content

Customer: “Hi, I’d like an Audi RS4 Avant but worse in every single way aside from the transmission.” Salesperson (yes, salesperson, not salesman because it’s 2020 and I don’t want a millennial with a beard and a guitar to throw stones at me): “Check out this baby right here.” *also slaps the roof to keep up with meme culture*

I like the video while watching the ad...I don't even have to watch the video to know that I like it 😉

That new Ontario plate looks good on any cars

Reunited and it feels so right

Love to see those couples together again, like who does the same.

I love your videos and I'd really like to see more track test and reviews for more porsche brand cars

These guys are the funniest car guys on KZfaq 😂

Another stellar review guys! If I want zoom zoom, I'm buying a sports car/sedan, not an SUV; period. However, I love those trick headlights.

Beautiful colour 😍

“🤚🏼-🤚🏼🤚🏼” 😂😂 incredible

Love to see a local car channel. Here in Ontario. Most are from the US.

Now they can do their funny intro again

This is the only SUV / Crossover that i would consider buying. It just looks awesome!

Question for TH: out of the 4 big ones what would you buy? X3M C, GLC63S, Alpha quadro....., macan turbo.

The note the car plays when you open the door, is the first note of “Talkin to Myself” by Chiddy Bang.

Hi guys nice to have you gyz on the road And what a way to come back that with a porsche ❤❤

"Thomas, you can't stick the word turbo on everything..." "... Porsche did it first..." Classic.

Watching here in 2024, it makes me laugh at the "six feet apart" thing we all believed in back in 2020 (guilty!) 😂😂

i love you guys !!! :):):)

I missed you guys!!!! I felt that launch both times though lol. I've driven the new Macan Turbo and X3 M and the Macan is hands down better, haven't had the chance to drive the Stelvio Quadrifoglio though I heard it's the only real competition for this..

this show is so good

Video intro = LoL The physics lesson though = ROFL 😂

Turbocharge everything!

I loved the brunch metaphor! 8-)

So glad to see you guys back in cars. I really appreciate the effort in your videos over the past couple months, but man this is where it’s at.

James!! Thomas!!! Helpppppp. I’m currently planning to go from a 19’ prestige s4 (USA spec) to either a 2022 macan s or 2022 sq5. If you had to pick between the two which would you go with? Online a fully loaded sq5 prestige trim is $73usd and similar equipped macan s $83k usd (options selected to resemble sq5 prestige trim. Minus HUD and ambient lightening as those are not options)…which would you choose if you were going best “bang” for your buck(overall this makes more sense)?? Which would you choose for best performance? It’s a big price difference and taxes and fees still have to be added. Also you guys are awesome!!!

It’s interesting, I got a Macan Turbo 2020 and my last car was the R32 2008. I liked the utility of the R32 and the Macan has a similar setup being a hatchback. It is a foot longer, 6 inches wider and sits a bit higher, so it’s heavier and feels a little different. It is however much much quicker and premium everywhere. I have the Burmester audio upgrade and it’s very nice, also have 18 way seats as shown in the video, very configurable and comfortable. I think I get about the same gas consumption as my old R32 which just shows the improvement over 12 years in efficiency. I was looking specifically for a 2020 or 2021 model so I’d get the 2.9 engine and all the buttons inside, not a fan of the touch panel in the newer model years. I love the Macan and will be driving it for a long time hopefully.

The Mecan and the other sporty compact SUV's are the perfect "one vehicle" solutions for people who care about driving enjoyment. But...if you can afford over 100K for a sporty compact SUV you can probably afford a good two car set-up, if you are OK with having a car that sits around not driven most of the time.
