Early-, Mid-, or Late-Model Porsche Macan? What I Learned Driving an Early Macan Turbo

A little while ago, a friend bought a used early-model Macan Turbo. It was in excellent condition and came equipped with air suspension and the Sport Exhaust system. I’ve written about the early Macan Turbo a few times before, but I wanted to take another look at it—and compare it with the mid- and late-model versions. The Early-Model Macan Turbo The Macan has been around for a long time and has received two facelifts so...

2022 Test-Drive Car of the Year It’s hard to believe, but 2022 is almost over. The second half of the year seemed to fly by even faster than usual. “Time flies” has never felt more true. December, in particular, went by so quickly that I barely remember it at all—though maybe that’s just my bad memory! lol Thank you so much for following our blog, “Welcome Home, PORSCHE,” throughout the year. So, in what’s becoming...

The Early Porsche Macan: This Is What a Porsche SUV Should Be!

Recently, I had the chance to borrow a first-generation Porsche Macan S for about a week, so I’d like to share my impressions. The Porsche Macan Has Three Main Generations The Porsche Macan (Type 95B) first went on sale in 2014 and has received several updates over the years, making it a relatively long-running model. Broadly speaking, the lineup can be divided into three generations: the early model, the mid-cycle model, and the current, later...

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...

2022 Porsche Macan Review: Winding Roads and Final Verdict

Taking the Third-Generation Porsche Macan on Winding Roads As in the previous installment, this is a review of the third-generation Porsche Macan. This time, I’m sharing my impressions after taking it out on winding roads. The Macan has always been a particularly sporty SUV. In fact, “sporty” hardly does it justice—it has the agility to make you want to call it a sports car. The first-generation Macan left a powerful impression that’s still vivid in...

2022 Porsche Macan Base Review: City Driving and Highway Performance

The Third-Generation Porsche Macan I recently borrowed the current, third-generation Macan—also known as the Macan 3 or facelifted Macan—as a loaner while my 991 Carrera 4 GTS was in the shop. After about a week behind the wheel, here are my honest impressions. This is the latest Macan, in its simplest base-model configuration. It has very few options; the main one is a set of 14-way Comfort Seats with memory function. The wheels are the...
