Is Your Porsche Macan Early, Mid, or Late Model? Thoughts from Driving an Early Macan Turbo
A little while ago, a friend purchased a used early-model Macan Turbo. It’s a very well-maintained example, equipped with air suspension and a sports exhaust. I’ve reported on the early Macan Turbo several times before, but this time I’d like to revisit it and also clarify the differences compared to the mid- and late-model versions. Early Macan Turbo The Macan has a long model history and has undergone two minor facelifts so far. Currently, the...

The Husband Who Has Driven Over 100 Porsches Picks the 2022 Test Drive Car of the Year!?
2022 Test Drive Car of the Year Time flies, and 2022 is already coming to an end. The latter half of this year seemed to pass by faster than usual. The saying “Time flies like an arrow” truly fits.

So today, I’d...

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. This Macan is the latest current model, the simplest base model. It has only minimal options, mainly just the 14-way comfort seats with memory function. The wheels are standard 19-inch,...
