I have just been down this road with my son . I drive a Macan S diesel which i love and suggested he go for the turbo as he wants a bit more power and noise. We looked at the above and he almost went for it . We then checked out a 2018 SQ5 which is a very modern car in all respects ... it makes my Macan look aged ! the Tech is light years ahead of Porsche andf it was also £40k from an Audi garage . I hate to say it but for that money I think it was a better car . ( BTW I have driven Porsches for 15 years )peter7 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 9:53 pm I have no connection to this car but its the one we looked at with lots of options

Also that makes the Audi a much more expensive car on depreciation alone!

Apologies gen1&2 were different - but it was important you mentioned you bought one…
‘The new 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine generating 348 horsepower and 354 lb.-ft. of torque.
This new V6 is equipped with a single twin-scroll turbocharger located in the inner V of the engine, as opposed to the twin-turbo setup of the original Macan. The new and more powerful engine marked an increase in both horsepower and torque over the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 Porsche used in preceding versions of the Macan S. As a result, the refreshed model could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, or 4.9 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package. The model’s top track speed also increased slightly to 157 mph.’
Thanks for the input, peter7 - I had the exact same conversation with my Wife but she really is anti Audi (from her Superbike Racing days in the 90s/00s where they had RS6s as course cars, which kept breaking down. It never bothered me, I have always loved the RS6). Try as I might, I don't think I'd ever get an Audi approved internally and if I did, I'd always be thinking that I didn't buy an RS6peter7 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 10:01 pm I have just been down this road with my son .

Yes we did ... both very able cars both had plenty of power , both with very good build quality just the fact that the Audi was 2 years younger and much more modern for the same money ...pmg wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 10:06 pmbut did you test drive them both?peter7 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 10:01 pmI have just been down this road with my son .
