Just recently took delivery of a 2023 Macan GTS. Long story short, this is my wife's new daily and it replaces her GS 350. We test drove most of the competition and were not really impressed with the exception of the X3M. The X3M's engine is undoubtedly better, but we thought the suspension was a bit stiff/uncomfortable. The Macan feels just right and also handles way better than the X3M somehow... Kind of just feels like a lifted Cayman lol. Say what you will about it being an Audi underneath, but the Porsche engineers really transformed it into something else.

 

Congrats! Enjoy!

 

Not bad.

I would've kept the GS.

 

i absolutely love that car, congrats!
love the dark rims and gray too.

 

Very nice! Those things are by far the best driving SUVs in their class, great upgrade!

 

Looks great! Congratulations!

 

Beautiful. I usually have a thing for larger vehicles but it looks better than the cayenne imo.

 

Nice! I forgot the GTS got the Turbo’s motor. Your wife will enjoy it no doubt.

 

Someday……….

 

Looks fantastic, Congrats!

A few years ago i thought about picking up a used Macan S for ~$40k... those were the days before covid hit, lol.

 

The real question is, who your wife is trying to impress that her GS couldn’t!

 

She needs to maintain an "image".

 

Not everybody wants to keep a car for a long time guys lol. I loved my 4GS, but its the past and I wouldn't want one today.

Awesome Macan, these are great vehicles. You would never know it was an SUV to drive it.

 

Exactly, lol. My wife loved her GS, but she wanted to upgrade to something that sat a little bit higher and had some newer tech.

I'm still surprised how well it drives considering it's an SUV. I knew it was best in its class (handling wise), but I've never test driven one prior to this as I'm more of a sedan/coupe/hatchback kinda guy.

 

it's porsche best seller for a reason! i want one too, and glad to hear your input as a cayman GT4 owner. congrats!
