I wouldn't want to sleep in the back, but it's a great Big (4-door) Boxster. Very similar to the F-Pace -- I'd like to try them side by side.

Thanks for stopping by,

Road Trip with new Porsche Macan

 
 By: cazalea : May 29th, 2017-11:20
I was navigator a couple days ago, when a friend bought a car in Northern California and we drove it back home. Our intention was to stay overnight in his family's Sierra cabin, but snow, broken security system and other factors forced us to drive on past...  

Superb pictorial road trip, Mike. So, how did you feel the car?

Thank you so much for this virtual escape. Much appreciated. Nicolas

Well, it was very comfortable yet very complex

The seats were extremely comfortable. I never felt sore or tired from sitting, even after 15 hours in the car. As far as the features - the instruments and controls were not exactly threatening, but certainly they were intimidating in its millions of silv...  

When the car has more miles, come back to us! It is aesthetically more pleasant, for me, than the Cayenne.

That 356!

One of my friends just picked up a new Macan S two days ago.

She ordered it three months ago. All I can say is that I really like the red full leather interior. She did opt for the 20 inch RS Spyder wheels which will be a pain to clean! Beautiful photos of the Sierra Nevada. Somehow, whenever I go, I never apprecia... 

Cool roadtrip

the scenery is amazing. I suppose the Macan had a petrol engine ? But which one ? Filip

It's a Macan S 340 hp 3 liter twin turbo

7 speed PDK gearbox. Apparently no more diesels for us, esp German, or Italian, or American, or ... Although our Cayenne chase car had a diesel. Mike

Even in a boat (Macan) 340 hp is pretty darn quick !

I remember driving (and semi-crashing) a Audi Q5 240 hp diesel .. it was fast .. Last year i drove (didn't crash this time) an SQ5 324 hp diesel .. THAT was FAAAAST !!!!

Possibly, but she helped a guy step up from a GT3 to a 918; the sales commission might have been better ...

Another of her customers wanted a 918, but without the acid green accents. So they built it without any mention of "Hybrid"

Graduate.....

that was precious! Excellent travelogue as always Cheers D

I knew y'all would want to see the badge, so we chased down the Alfa

and took his picture. I was shooting on the fly, so couldn't predict when an interesting vehicle would appear. I missed a few and barely got others: Slightly used pimp-mobile My pal has about 5 motorcycles and has decided to sell a couple - so stay tuned,...  

Great report.

I have a Macan S in NYC and like it a lot. Rear seats are not very spacious, but a great small SUV in my opinion.
