Is this the last great Macan

Build slots running out before the end of production coming very soon

Maybe. Maybe not.

Hope that helps

I drove a used 50k Macan GTS back to back with a Panamera V6 hybrid estate and the Panamera was head and shoulders above the Macan in every area apart from height and weight in my very non-skilled driver opinion. The Macan I drove felt like the steering was broken but the salesman said that was because the special steering option (can’t remember the proper Porsche name) hadn’t been ticked. Maybe it would have been a bit better with the posh steering. Anyway, GTS RIP.

A former colleague had one and he said it was OK but he preferred the 2015 C63 he had before that. I took a ride in the back and it was pretty good but did feel a touch more cramped than I was expecting. I asked him how the MPG was doing and I think he said around the 25ish mark give or take. He liked it but wasn't overly enamoured with it and he's a car guy.

What was the first great Macan?

3.6 turbo I reckon - 400 bhp and only 25-30k now for a nice one.

GTS is a very nice car, drives very well for what it is. But I'm not sure there's much difference to a nicely specified S. I am considering changing my 9 year old S diesel and I am positive the next car will be another Macan ICE. I'm currently in the EV version as courtesy car and I don't like it. Feels cheap

I'm in a 24 GTS ICE - more squeaks and rattles than my 928.

Definitely some cost cutting on the gen3

I tried a 2020 GTS and a 2020 Turbo. Preferred the turbo. I also prefer more discrete (boring) colour combinations and wanted a dark blue with a lighter interior, of which there was more choice in the turbo. Worth considering.

Big time ,my 15 plate was in for a warranty recall last year and I was having a showroom walk around while I waited .

Gen 1 Macan interior is imho the highest quality I have experienced there was no evidence of any cheap materials even lower down.

Current model feels not cheap but bang average.

Turbo PP ! 440 bhp from the 3.6 but with the GTS chassis so a better steer than the standard Turbo IMHO and with the Air PASM still very good ride.
