I think for the most part we are all in the same situation dealing with the winter blues at the moment. Got a good couple of months to deal with before even smelling the new car smell from the Macan
Hi Everybody! I am excited to join the Forum this morning. I got my new Macan end of October and am enjoying it. This is my Fifth Porsche purchase and I am a Porsche Lover....... currently owning two different models.
Looking forward to sharing.........
Hello All. I placed my order for a Macan S (to replace my 2008 Cayenne S ) on 2 Dec. Now comes the very long wait to actually see one! I have enjoyed our Cayenne (it gets driven much more than my GT3) and it now has 115,000 miles. But I've always wanted a smaller, practical Porsche; the Macan looks to be that car.
Pete in New Hamshire awaiting a Turbo. Looking forward to a great Macan enthusiast site here.
What about the "New member introductions" thread here New Member Introductions - Porsche Macan Forum ?
Tom in Virginia, also awaiting a Turbo. I will have a few questions to post later to determine which options make the most sense. My dealer says I should receive the car May of 2015, but I will need to finalize any further options in March. I could be happy with what I selected, but I want to be uber sure. I put in a down payment of 10%
Welcome parket! Feel free to start a new thread with your questions on various options, everyone has their own reasons for choosing or not choosing each one and will be keen to chime in; although the final decisions are obviously yours.
Yes, it is a long time to May of 2015, you sharp readers!!! My mistake! I will get the vehicle in May 2014, and it is a 2015, not a 2014 Macan (the 2014 doesn't exist, I am told, yet you see a number of sources that quote this model year. I guess they don't get that production is for the 2015 model year only).
I can be quite happy with what I ordered, but I was given the option by the dealer of finalizing options as late as March 2014.
Have you officially ordered or simply submitted your online build to your dealer?
What kind of deposit was required beyond the $1-2K to get on the pre-oder que?
Thx!
Paul
Not a particularly aggressive driver, but have always wanted a Porsche. Will consider an base S loaded with the "safety" options. Also considering X3, ML350.
Hello all, from the North Pole, sorry Chicago!
Off to see my dealer this weekend to place an order for a S, looking forward to having a car that can cope with the midwest!
Me too! I spoke to the local dealer and he says he has around 5 S and 2 Turbos but expecting them all to go before the Chicago Auto show which is Feb 8th.
Off there tomorrow with my check book
Hi there! I was at the LA Auto Show and got some great photos...some from media resources (that you all have probably seen) plus a several of my own, to include other brands and not just the Porsche Macan.
I am a Porsche Certified Brand Ambassador and work at Porsche of Tacoma in Fife WA, USA.
I am absolutely stoked about the Macan and cannot wait to go to training for it in April (at Barber Motorsports) and seeing the first one (a Turbo) coming to our dealership in early May.

Welcome to the forums! Love that you considered weight, and even unsprung weight, on those options. I skipped the sunroof for the same reason, but had to go with air suspension for added clearance in snow.
I love that Porsche offered air suspension, for this sport centric vehicle, for people that really need added clearance. Porsche is such an "engineering" company they just know how to elegantly make things perform outside the box.
Looking forward to sharing with Macan fans. We all ordered cars we have NOT been able to test drive. Ok, we have driven Porsche's, but this is an educated leap of faith and it appears the original build quota for 2014 has been sold.
Greetings from the SF bay area. Getting set to place a deposit on a Jet Black metallic S! Hoping for delivery before the end of the year. Now I just need to make my mind up on my spec!
Hello all,
I have been lucky enough to see and sit in a Macan S diesel and have put a deposit down but cannot make up my mind between diesel or petrol. I am excited at thought of getting back into a Porsche after many years. Some very interesting topics and hope to add some contribution to a great site.
Thanks
Hello folks,
Living in Belgium and ordered a "loaded" Macan S. Delivery is expected in July.
The reason I ordered one is because I am in need of a more practical car in addition of my 987 S and 991 4S cab, and because... Porsches are such great cars!!!
