Porsche debuts refreshed 2019 Macan

[1William]

An interesting vehicle that I like but don't really understand. For me the Porsche is the 911 and its variants. If I want an SUV/Crossover I will go to the companies that do it as well or better than Porsche for that vehicle. I think a special customer wants this vehicle.

Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz my friends all drive Porsches I must make amends😂

And when the time does come, we will have to budget wisely between a nice new car or a nice new watch

It's an absolutely fun drive! It's not really an SUV and the space is limited.. our kids are still young and they enjoy it, but it is definitely on the smaller side if you want more space for storage or will have tall folks sitting in the back... But I get what you mean.. the decision between a nice car or watch is difficult.. the struggle is real

Just wondering...what SUV/Crossover would you go to that does it better than Porsche?

Possibly Alfa Stelvio Quad.

Interesting choice! On a lease I could possibly see that but not as a purchase due to reliability and resale value. We looked at their Giulia when we bought our BMW 4 Series Grand Coupe and it was nice but I was again concerned about reliability, resale and just how long they will actually make it in the US on this go around.

I just bought a new 2018 GTS Friday and its pretty impressive in handling. I pick it up tomorrow.

Has anyone modded one for more performance? I ordered the stage 1 package from Cobb performance yesterday but I know I'll want more real soon.

Have you checked the performance level that will preserve your warranty? Stage 1 mapping might be OK, but some things at Stage 3 will require more cooling and those could be a no-no.

If that doesn’t matter, the Germans have all sorts of turbo options and performance chip mapping. I never touched my Porsches but did do a lot of JDM work on Subarus to fetch 350+ from a 4 cyl boxer engine.
