The Porsche Macan is an outstanding SUV, but please not with this Golf engine. Or is it? It all depends on who is inviting where to the T.
Dthis report was actually finished. Actually, because we then broke a golden rule of journalism, which is: I don’t research my opinion to pieces. A visit to the Porsche archive and database opens your eyes to the power of the factual. In China, cars with a displacement of more than 2 liters can hardly be registered, Austria or France and Nordic countries are hitting prohibitively with special taxes. As a result, 90 percent of all Macans ordered in China are four-cylinder, and around the world the figure is 70 percent. If we did our calculations correctly, the four-cylinder Macan is the best-selling Porsche.
With these insights in mind, the driving report falls into two parts. Anyone who wants to drive a Macan, for which there are a number of good reasons, and does not live in Germany, belongs to the powerful and rich or drives a four-cylinder. Anyone who can count themselves lucky living in Germany is now reading the sentence that should actually be at the beginning: The Macan is an outstanding SUV, but please not with this Golf engine.
