Porsche Macan Experience
Anyone have experience with this vehicle that you're willing to share. Especially model year, overall experience, recommended model/options, reliability/maintenance.
I am retired. I have owned several BMWs including current 15-year old 330i, but am not impressed with recent offerings. Thinking of trying a new/used Macon for use beyond warranty period. Primary alternative is to just 'settle' for a loaded Honda Accord and move on. |
You mean Macan?

I think you’ll find the difference between “any” Porsche maintenance and repair costs beyond warranty to be worlds apart from “any” Honda. :smoking:

Two of my neighbors have the Macan. One has the S and the other has the base model. Both are 2018’s I believe. All comments from them have been very favorable. I’ve heard that the Turbo model isn’t as trouble-free as the other versions.

I bought a brand new Macan a year ago. It was my shortest owned Porsche car ever (3 months); I know it’s a good seller.
First, and foremost the design of the hood where it meets the fenders is very poor. After 4 trips to the dealer to stop the rattles, and body work caused by the rubbing on both fenders, I traded it in on a new Cayenne GTS that we love, and is perfect. At 6’3” I should have known better, and bought the full size SUV from the beginning. |
I had a Macan S for less than a year, it’s a fun little suv but the back seat was too small. I went through 2 windshields from road debris, I never had that with any car. Get the Cayenne if you can swing it. There are better suv options for the same money ie BMW X5, Range-rover Sport

I appreciate all comments on this thread as I have never owned a Porsche and would like to avoid ugly surprises if possible. |
The JD Power website is a good resource for quality and reliability data if you haven’t already looked there.

One doesn’t buy a European car for the reliability when compared with Honda.
I’m a Toyota guy at heart. I did get a Porsche 911 for the driving experience. I’m fully expecting for maintenance to be more than my Toyota or Lexus. If you want luxury / smooth / reliable, Lexus makes a ton of sense. If you want a sports car...hard to argue with Porsche. |
Porsche Macon Experience
My Porsche 911 has been the most trouble-free vehicle in our fleet, which has included Toyotas and Honda’s in the past. (Knocking on wood) :) The least reliable were a Toyota Land Cruiser in Lexus livery, a GS 470 I think, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee rolling bomb.
