So Glad I bought the Porsche 2018 GTS still holding its value like has not gone done at all in value since I bought it 1 1/2 Years ago. Its fast it rides like its on rails and even though I have the 375 HP on my GTS nothing that a Cobb Short Tune cant bump it up to 445 HP in a hurry and its still fantastic. Plus it does have off Road mode which is good to have when you happen to get yourself in a pinch if you need to raise the height and protect your chassis. I mean yes this thing does so many things very well.

Such a wonderful SUV. makes the most money for Porsche. and yet they want to stop building it in favor of the EV version. What a brutally terrible mistake! The rest of the world still wants to buy them. And of course, liberal idiots think 100% electric vehicles will be managed by human beings to be more -green- in some way. Conservation of energy, vs. the idiots in the world. Battery technology just isn't there yet. Recycling has not been arranged ahead of this. Mandating this is just absurd.

For those wondering between X3MC and Macan GTS-
X3MC = faster, wilder, very harsh suspension for a daily driver, more tech features and standard creature comforts, spacious interior.
Macan GTS = fun, more refined engine/suspension to remain planted when pushed around tight corners but comfy/compliant the rest of time, less spacious for tall adults/teens in rear seats than X3MC, more $, but, hey, it-s a Porsche! - Prestige; -)
The sweet point in all aspects, IMHO, goes to the X3 M40i.

This may be controversial to some. but im going to go ahead and say it anyways. Steve Sutcliffe, to me, you are probably the best car reviewer there is out there. Dare i even say, better than Chris Harris.
Your just as good, focused, informative, professional, knowledgeable and clear as you were when you were writing for autocar.
I know you prob wont but i do hope you read this message just so you know how much of a good job you are doing! Keep it up.

Thanks Steve, great review as usual. I bought my first Macan in part on the back of your very complimentary comments of the first Macan you drove way back when. Just a possible point of annoyance with Porsche; why have they decided to remove the -GTS- embroidery from the rear seat headrests? Surely it could not be a huge saving for such an obvious visual element?

You seem to have forgotten the Macan Turbo Performance Package, which is still the most powerful Macan produced yet. It has 440 hp vs 434 hp shown here. And it had almost every performance feature come standard (minus carbon ceramics, which are unnecessary as the brakes are upgraded from the standard Turbo anyways)

Not having a turbo s badge matters. You can charge more for that badge. I'm only interested in turbo cars. Preferably turbo s. I mean, Porsche is literally the king of up selling people on features and they didn't think a badge matters?

Great review Steve! I ordered one a few months ago. Have gone for all black with carbon interior, GT steering wheel, sunroof, and loads of other extra specs - can't wait!

Wow this is the top version and its as fast as a Tesla model 3 long range, not even the performance. Will they bring out a even faster version?
