Discovering the Charm of the Early Macan!|This Is Porsche’s SUV!

Recently, I was able to borrow a Porsche Macan S (early model) for about a week, so I’d like to share my review. The Macan is broadly divided into three generations The Porsche Macan (95B model) has been on sale since 2014, undergoing several minor updates, making it a relatively long-lived model. It can be broadly categorized into early, mid, and the current late generation, with the early Macan’s distinctive feature being that the rear...

The Loaner Was an Early Model Macan S Recently, my husband sent his air-cooled Porsche 911 (964C2) and Boxster (981GTS) for inspection, so we borrowed a loaner—and it turned out to be an early model Macan S. A few years ago, my husband had the chance to borrow his brother’s Macan Turbo for a short drive, and he was absolutely thrilled with it. It left such a strong impression that it still comes up in...

Test Drive Report of the New Macan (3rd Generation Base Model)|Winding Roads & Summary

Testing the New Macan (3rd Generation) on Winding Roads Continuing from the previous article, this is a review of the new Macan (3rd generation). This time, I’m reporting on my impressions when taking the Macan onto winding roads. When you think of the Macan, it’s a very sporty SUV, and calling it merely sporty doesn’t do it justice—it’s a car with the athleticism that makes you want to call it a ‘sports car’. The strong...

Test Drive Report of the New Macan (3rd Generation Base Model)|City and Highway Review

New Macan (3rd Generation) This time, I borrowed the current new Macan (3rd generation, also called Macan 3 or facelift model) as a loaner for my 991 Carrera 4 GTS, so I’d like to share an honest review after driving it for about a week.

[Test Drive Report] Macan GTS – Understanding the Differences Between Early and Later Models

My husband had the opportunity to test drive the Porsche Macan GTS and wrote up his impressions. Please take a look if you’re interested. Recently, the facelifted Macan model was announced, and around the same time, we had the chance to test drive the later version of the Macan GTS (which will eventually be called the mid-cycle model). This time, I’d like to focus on comparing it with the earlier Turbo model I had driven...

The New Macan Event Recently, I attended the new Macan sneak preview event, The new Macan Sneak Preview, held in Osaka. (Sneak preview means a private viewing event.) A friend who owns a Macan invited us, and my husband and I were able to join. Unfortunately, the event coincided with our eldest daughter’s kindergarten open class… When I told my husband, “I’m going to the kindergarten open class, so you can go alone,” he said:...

Porsche Macan Test Drive Review: A Day with the Macan Turbo

My Brother-in-Law’s Macan Turbo Previously, I wrote an article about test driving my brother-in-law’s Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo, but before that, he drove a Macan Turbo.
