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. Last edited by jdandy; 06-12-2019 at 09:47 AM. Reason: correct typo in title |

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.

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

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.
