Hey folks, new around here but I figured this is the best place to get opinions about the Macan.
So currently I'm having trouble deciding between a Macan and a Model Y. Is it fair to cross-shop these/compare these? Maybe not but I really do want a good daily driver that can last me 7-10 years. The rough budget I've set for myself is ~50-60k (taxes/fees/all considered) so that leaves me with a few options.
1. Model Y Long Range
2. Macan Base (newer)
3. Older Macan S/GTS (2015-2017)
I've driven a new base Macan (2020) and a S (2015) and can definitely notice the difference between the two (newer feels smoother, more responsive, but definitely lacking punch above 50mph). I much prefer the technology/infotainment in the newer models but also really want the punch from the more powerful engines.
I've also driven the Model Y and although its no slouch, it doesn't feel/look as sporty as I would like. Aside from that, the technology offers an AMAZING daily driving experience from autopilot, one pedal driving, or just the car telling you the light's green.
I think my biggest concerns about getting a Macan revolves around longevity/true cost of ownership. (Yes I know what I'm signing up for this when considering owning a Porsche/any sporty German car). Could anyone provide some perspectives on what to expect (avg annually, insurance, repairs, gas, etc)? And for looking at older Macans, what should I look out for/avoid.
Not planning on changing cars often so this will be a somewhat big purchase decision for me. I don't mind passing on the Porsche now and joining the brand later when I'm more financial prepared to take on the costs.
