I just don't understand why you'd buy a Macan unless you can only have one car.
I've had several different Panameras, Macans and Cayennes as loaners over the years. If you want something that handles well and can move some stuff around, the Panamera wagon/hatch is the best. If you want something that sits up & hauls stuff, get a Cayenne. The Macan is nice but it sits in a strange place. Drives fine, but doesn't handle like a Panamera, can't haul more stuff than a Panamera, and is much smaller than a Cayenne in terms of rear passenger space & cargo... I suppose this is why they make so many models. I also don't have to live with only one car, but even if I did, it probably wouldn't be a Macan... |

New trend....compart SUVs. Some might like the way Macan looks. But I agree, it's sized like a small sedan which makes it useless as SUV. I considered Macan until I saw the cargo space Last edited by Kolyan2k; 08-19-2019 at 03:17 AM.. |

But they are pretty. I'm also the guy who lobbies for my wife to drive a minivan for functionality and loses every couple of years, so what do I know? LOL Last edited by flgfish; 08-18-2019 at 07:59 PM.. |

I dunno, cargo space works for me when I need it, but I’m not buying 86” TVs every week. It’s much more spacious and functional than my 135is was and definitely has the amount of performance I was looking for. I also like the fit and finish, no rattles or squeaks, car seems really tight.

What I'd love to see Porsche make is a two-door sports car with usable backseats. Something front-engined (similar to the old 924/944) that would compete with the M2, but I know people aren't buying those types of cars right now. Last edited by duder13; 08-19-2019 at 03:09 PM.. |

Nope, not in any hurry. Debating waiting to see how the 911 does in the winter then decide if I'm keeping the 128i or selling it for something else. Right now I have limited parking so having it around is a pain but come winter the Z4 will be stored. Have a hard time giving up the 128i because of the rear seat/storage in the trunk that it would give up. Maybe it just needs a tune...or supercharger.
I wish the Panarama could be had with a stick |

That being said, I think Porsches are a blast in the winter. The engine gives you nice weight near the drive wheels, so it feels planted, but it’s certainly no 4x4. Granted, I grew up driving in Indiana on bald tires as a teen, so I may just be crazy. |

Yeah, I live in the city in Portland, so garage space thankfully keeps me from getting too tempted. A buddy of mine actually pays for an off-site spot downtown to garage his former 1M, and now NSX, but I like to keep things simple.

Essentially as fast as a 1 Series M and not that far behind an M2. |
