I met the yellow one last weekend in the south of France near Grasse; the car is wonderful in person,... much, much better than in the photo,... it seems bigger and is very sporty!!!

Thanks for compiling all these. I’m seeing very few appearances of Turbonite accents on the Turbo models that were reviewed, hmmm.

First post updated, deduplicated and cleaned up a little bit.
Still going through all the reviews, so far, loving what I see! :clap:
So many choices.. not sure which of the "yellow" reviews to watch.. or maybe I'll keep it simple and go for the "lavender", no conflicts there.

I found Car Wow, Savage Geese and Auto Gefühl to be among the most interesting ones.
Out Of Spec (review, not podcast) was fine - but need to watch it in 2x, overly long otherwise.

Others are a bit of a joke, like Electrifying or GadgetsBoy.

Is the yellow color PTS or available in non-US markets? Seems odd to have press cars in colors that aren't available in the configurator?

Checked on a few configurators and none offered PTS… truly odd.

Nope, yep, yep, fuckno.
I do quite like Tom Ford with TopGear (and his writing is even better than the filmed stuff).

(Went with the yellow review; stunning color, suits the car very well. Wouldn’t be caught dead near one, mind you, but I’m glad it exists.)

Thanks for listing all the driving tests. Too bad that it mainly tested the Macan turbo and hardly the Macan 4. Only 'Out of Specs' and 'Edmunds' pay sufficient attention to the 4. Because I have a 4 on order, I would have liked more information about it.

It also doesn't help that a Dutch journalist remarks in the report he wrote of the driving test that the 4 "doesn't really give a Porsche feeling" and "it just lacks the sharpness and depth we had hoped for".

In the driving test itself here below he talks with a sour face about remote steering, not sparkling and not really what you expect from a Porsche. But in the end: for € 88K you can get a SUV with real Porsche genes 😬



A more extensive driving test of the 4 is more then welcome.

Another must see driving review with a deep dive in all key technical specs.
Top level !

is also in German, but you can activate the subtitles with auto translation in English.

Thomas from Auto Gefühl did actually recommend the base 4 for most people, in case you didn’t get to see his review.

Thanks, I saw his review. The driving test itself was again with a turbo. That's what Kyle and Edmunds did better.
