Paul,
I would be interested to know how you rate the Macan Turbo against the Cayenne diesel S ..... I have one and had been considering this change ....
I can imagine that it's maybe a bit neater in the back seats for kids , how do you find it overall?
Cheers,
Terry
Hi Terry,
I'm sorry, I've just noticed your question when Cheib kindly answered for me and it popped up.
The Cayenne I had was the 4.2 V8 diesel S and it was an outstanding car and blessed with a fabulous engine. And to be honest I really miss the burble of it and it's economy, it was no slouch either.
I too had the 18 way seats and I've had them in my previous cars, they are as Cheib says, the best seats I've ever sat it and I'm pleased to say I have them in the Macan Turbo.
With the Performance Package the Macan Turbo is slightly lower than the normal Turbo and you probably already know it has bigger callipers and discs but apart from that the casual observer wouldn't know the difference. The difference comes when you click it into Sport and put your foot down and then you get the picture what Porsche can do with what is an already very fast car.
You do get other goodies like Bose as standard but then I've never seen any point in having a top end stereo in a sports car, or one that has 21" rims :grin:
Sometimes I miss the size of the Cayenne but I prefer the look of the Macan, the proportions are much better. However there is still a decent amount of room in the back but a lot less in the luggage compartment.
It's horses for courses, The Macan PP is more of a driver's car, if you can ever really say that of a 2 tonne utility 4 x 4 but I think it's the closest you will get. Let's get it straight, it's never a track car and the Chrono pack stopwatch (it looks pretty) is pointless but the PP is quite remarkable on the road, any road.
I did have a 991 (possibly a normal 2 or 4) try to overtake me a month or two back and if he hadn't been such an @rse trying to get in my boot I would have let him past but in the end he couldn't live with the sheer hard nosed acceleration and he called it off.
I hope that helps.
Good luck,
Paul
