Good video man. Thanks
Best comprehensive Issues list
I had a transfer box failure at 30,000 miles. Porsche main dealers refused to fix. That’s why I’d never buy anything from them. Use a specialist instead.
They couldn’t refuse when the brand offered replacement under warranty because it was a known defect
Yes. They extended the warranty for 7 years
Is the transfer case problem still an issue in the Gen 3 (2022+)?
The S is great, but are we just gonna skip right over the GTS? I spent some time behind the wheel of an S and was happy, so I went and bought a fully optioned GTS.
Great content thanks!
Glad you liked it! Cheers from snowy Sudbury Ontario
Hello! I found a 2015 macan s with 25k kms. Im thinking of changing my 2020 g20 330i for this car. ny thoughts?
Which optional extras would you consider essential when buying? Sports chrono? Sports exhaust?
Sports Chrono for sure, even if you don't use it it's good for resale.
Since this video is 2 years old i might not get a reply from you or the community. Im looking at getting a Macan, but dont know whether to go for S, GTS, or TURBO. I know you said the S is ideal all round but looking at the bhp difference im really after the GTS or TURBO bhp. But is it really worth the money? Thanks
If your budget allows a GTS is a wild ride, personally I wouldn't pay the huge premium for the Turbo myself.
Glad I didn't get one. I found one 2018 macan S with 53,200 miles for $36,700. It was in Preston condition inside and out. And had lots of add ons. The original owner paid 73K. Then I heard about the oil leak issues models 2018 and below had. I love German cars. But their expensive repairs and unreliability keeps me away. Are model years 2019 and newer safer buys? I really want one
Not really, 2019 and up doesnt even have a porsche engine anymore lol, its a VW engine with its own issues
Just get warranty
@@HyperBlueMetallic1LEso what's the best macan year
I fixed that horrid oil weep in a few hours and $3.80
So, used Macan S, from official Porsche dealership should be fine? (extended 4 year warranty)
Yeah I would say so. In the UK porsche come with a 111 point inspection and 2 year porsche warranty, and at least 3mm of tread. I would personally upgrade the warranty to 3 years on purchase as most porsche centers charge around £200 during a minor service to do the checks the for warranty extension.
Transfer box, and air suspension air the only common things to go wrong. Air suspension goes wrong on every car that has it so stick to main dealer warranty and low miles for air suspension.
The 4th year service will need spark plugs and the 6th will need pdk fluid and filter.
@@boomdaus 2 years warranty only?!?! Rip off. Ughh
I'd go for a 2019 or newer if you can. The timing chain cover leak is no joke at $10k for the fix, for 2015-2018, which may return anyways...my friend's 2015 Turbo did. First one happened under factory warranty though.
@@charlesbcraig was the timing chain cover issue fixed in 2019?
@@beri232 yes they started using a new engine designed by Audi. So far, there has been no new reports
Wow. This video dropped 13 hours ago and I'm first? How does that happen?
Rear seat room is poor.
Solution: Don't drive from the rear seat
so many bootans
Best advice: Don't buy a Macan! I owned one for a year and it's the biggest piece of trash Porsche has ever made.
What year, and what trim was your Macan?
What year, and what trim was your Macan?
what was wrong with it? its similar to q5 which is decent
SCOTT? -- NO REPLY YET....I DON'T THINK HE OWNS A MACAN AFTER ALL!!! HA!
Oh, well if he got a lemon, they all suck!
