Please share your thoughts on the 2022 Porche Macan.
The interior doesn’t have all the outdated buttons in new model.

Are you a Porsche guy or gal? I’m sure this new Macan is nice. But I never quite understood the allure of these upscale super sporty SUV type cars. For example, you could buy a Toyota 4Runner and a used Porsche Boxster. Take the 4Runner in the snow and to off road trails and take the Boxster to Summit Point for some track time.

It’s beautiful. Don’t think I’d buy one though.

It is if you get the 718.

Many would say that Teslas are trash, despite their popularity. Questionable build quality.

Some people want a multi-faceted vehicle, not multiple few-faceted vehicles. Sure, the Macan is less off-road capable than a 4-Runner, but it's more capable than a Boxster. It's less sporty than a Boxster, but it's more sporty than a 4 -Runner.

For those that want a good blend, a vehicle like the Macan may be a great fit. I am not particularly fond of Porsche myself, but the Macan is definitely a leader in its class. If I was looking for a compact sporty SUV in that price range, it would be near the top of my list.

I understand your point and am the person to whom you responded. Full disclosure: I am a Porsche guy. Lots of times we are drawn to the “compromise” do it all option, only to find out later that we want specialization after all. Just offering the suggestion where you hop directly to the specialization. But as I said, I do take your point.

I think it’s cool.

It’s a nice car and i was close to buying 2018 Macan GTS recently. I actually prefer having real buttons over everything digital. But it depends what you are looking for in a car. Do you just want the name or are you looking for a sporty compact SUV?

I am looking for a sporty compact SUV not just the name. I would not have looked at Porche except for SUV. I also like the way the Porche Macan looks. I do like the buttons from 2018 but wanted new as I have bought used before hence will have to go with the new look. I looked at Audi, BMW but keep coming back to Porche Macan specifically.

We have a Cayenne and are looking to get a Macan this year. The Cayenne has been great.

Isn't the Macan basically built on same platform as the Audi 5?
