It was with obvious interest that I read the article in the latest EVO (Feb 2015) comparing the Macan S Petrol with the Audi RS Q3 and the Mercedes GLA45 AMG. Interestingly the Macan did not win! Shock horror!
Why? Apparently it, in terms of having fun, got nowhere! The other two were slipping and sliding round the race track, whereas the Macan was composed, lighter, rock solid and sharper than it has any right to be. No excitement!
What on Earth do this guys want? True, an MX5 will provide more fun & spills than a PDK Boxster. A 3.2 Carrera is arguably more fun than a 991 C2. But it all depends what you want. If it is fun on track, buy a Caterham. If you want a safe, fast, composed ride; a car able to withstand all that nature & UK roads can throw at it, buy a Macan.
Whatever, don't rubbish a Macan because it is too good! Typical motoring journos!
