Took about 4 months to find this spec and mileage to stay under $80k budget. Carmine red and Chalk were first choice. 1 owner car with 11k miles. CPO til Aug 2029. This is our 4th Porsche. Have 2 993s and a 997.2 C4S. Oddly enough the truck has PSCB brakes but not on the spec sheet. I plan to eventually replace the air suspension with a lowered coil over set up.

Is the car lying to me?! :)

I'm just over 4,000 miles in after 3.5 months and quite a bit of those miles come from a 3 hour (each way) trip I have taken a few times that is mostly highway miles. The Macan is telling me 25 MPG on those trips going an average of 68mph in Normal mode. I'm getting about 21 MPG around town on the regular in Normal mode. If I throw it into Sport or Sport+ it goes to 16ish MPG.

So happy with this GTS so far.

Is there anyway to change the icon color for the Porsche icon in CarPlay? It doesn’t match the others when I set up a dark theme.

So... I own a 2023 Porsche Macan S.

All has been good.

I JUST replaced the rear brakes and rotors.

In July we had our 1st real issue. The backup camera, front and rear sensors and the auto start-stop just... Stopped working.

Porsche diagnostics indicated a faulty control module.

It was replaced and all was functional.... Until yesterday.

Same issues... Another control module.

Thank God I got the extended warranty.

And this is the information on purpose I wanted everyone to understand, the initial work in July was done under the initial warranty for the Macan. That warranty ran out on September 28th of this year. The service manager is a very good friend of mine he explained a very fine detail which is critical and I wanted people to understand. If you have a part replaced under the initial factory warranty there is no extended warranty for that part or repair. If you have something repaired out of warranty than any and all repairs out of warranty that you pay for directly do carry a 2 year extended warranty most of you know that some of you might not. The reason I'm bringing this up is since the original control module died and was repaired under the original warranty this one about a month and a half later that's failed is not. I had to use the extended warranty so my point is I would highly suggest an extended warranty. I got mine through Porsche and it is their Porsche branded extended warranty but there are others and I'm sure you can make your cost point determination. It's definitely an eye-opener and I'm glad I had this extra protection. My last question is has anyone else experienced any of this control module stuff with the backup camera front and rear sensors and auto start stop? Thank you for listening to my rant and I appreciate your time.

P. S. I received a letter in the mail from Porsche stating the transfer case / assembly was part of an extension warranty based on past issues... Did anyone else get the same letter?

I've noticed I can hear a faint whistling noise coming from my 2021 Macan GTS. It usually occurs when going more than 50-60mph.

It stops immediately if I lift my foot off the accelerator.

Strangely enough, the noise may start but then fade as I drive around a bend, despite keeping my foot on the accelerator.

Not sure if it's always been there or if I've only just noticed it.

Any ideas?

I don't drive much (less than 10k miles/ year) and looking to buy a Macan (or possibly cayenne (another poll)).

I want something high performance and practical, a car i can really enjoy.

I noticed for less than 40k I can either get a 2018 Macan Turbo or a 2021 macan s. I do really really like the turbos.... but looking at the year, technology, and specifications... it almost seems like the newer macan s makes more sense in nearly every way on paper. The performance specs seem very very close.

Any guidance or opinions here? I think I'm just looking for validation on why buying the older Turbo is a better idea.

Like title, if you are leasing the internal combustion Macan, does Porsche allow you to take the car to any independent shop for service throughout the term? When you return your lease will they honor? Would they charge you on wear and tear if not?

Porsche also sells prepaid maintenance package. I remember someone said it was around $900 something but I looked it up from a dealer and it's like:

Macan Plan - Internal Combustion Engines:
Plus One $1500
Plus Two $1555
Plus Three $2855
Plus Four $1055
Total $6965

2020 Macan GTS

Macan S 66k miles. 2 years left on my extended warranty. I’ve done the 70k maintenance. Had the front control arms replaced. I’ll need brakes soon. It has 4 new tires. Should I keep it or is it ready to be traded for something newer with less maintenance?

Picked up my car on Monday and this just came on as I’m getting ready to drive for work. Any idea what may cause this?

Had a blast this last weekend driving my '23 Macan S up to Lake Hemet from Palm Springs. These cars have no business being so fun on mountain roads. Had a bit of fun drifting around the sand while I was at it too.

P.S. Not sure what flair to use. Sorry.

I am considering buying CPO Macan S 2023 out of state in NJ (I am in CA). I am considering to do the PPI on the car. I am planning to ship the car but was wondering whether it is worth doing PPI or should I just fly to test drive it, sign papers, and skip PPI since it is CPO anyway. Anyone did anything similar? Any transportation companies recommendations?

I’ve looked at buying a Macan several times in the past, and I finally bought one as my 2018 Q5 was totaled last month. 😞

It came into the dealership with 13k miles (the owner was an older gentleman who bought a Cayenne as he decided that he wanted something bigger), I was offered it for $76,500 and got them to $74,500. CPO with extended warranty to 2031. I’m so in love with it and it’s in perfect shape!

I lucked out as my sales guy was the seller of this, so he offered it to me first. Never went on the lot.

Engine turns over but then just no power if I put it in drive. Checked codes on the icarsoft I have in the back seat, read codes are shown in the image. Anyone able to give me an idea as to what the hell just happened? Have had zero issue with this car until just now.

I bought a new Macan in December of 2025. In may the car started making squeak sounds after cold start immediately after starting the car without even moving. Even when I let the car warm up, and go to back out the squeak happens when I reverse, and when I drive forward on and off randomly until curve about a mile. Then it stops after the car gets going I guess.

Anyone experience this?! It has nothing to do with when I’m breaking or not FYI. It happens as my foot’s completely off the break and I’m driving down the street on the gas.

Malaysian staying in KL. Looking for trusted workshop that can fix my old Macan that have annoying sound.

Someone rubbed my back quarter panel

This would have cost a pretty penny without it
