Hi all,

We’re considering a used Macan as a next car and just after some advice on best model, options, must haves etc as well as what they are like in terms of running costs and especially reliability.

Budget will be 40k ish and we don’t want anything older than 20/21.

We’re coming from a 64 plate Evoque that we bought new and is currently on 96k. Aside from an EGR valve it has been faultless, though we’ll pretend the rattles aren’t there. That does about 34mpg and we’d ideally not want worse than that.

How does the Macan compare? Do Porsche offer extended warranties on these and anything else we’d need to know?

You can purchase a Porsche Approved warranty until the car's 14th birthday or 125k miles. If it doesn't currently have a warranty you can pay for a 111-point check, pay for any items required to bring it to spec, and then they'll sell you a warranty.

Given your price point/age criteria I guess you're probably looking at private sales (where any existing extended warranty can be transferred to you) or non-franchised dealers.

Warranty info

3 Macan's available through Porsche approved that are 20 reg or newer but quite a few on Autotrader.

There's the 2.0T but looking at the mpg it's barely more economical than the 3.0T with 100 bhp more.

Both under 30 mpg combined.

If your Evoque was a diesel there's no way the Macan would get same or better mpg.
There is the diesel Macan but think that wasn't made after 2017/18?

A decent mileage 20/70 reg GTS is what I'd go for.
You won't get diesel-level economy on any petrol Macan. If fuel economy is important go for a different car.
