2016 Porsche Macan S

The Macan is Porsche's compact SUV, the one that brings sports-car driving to a practical body. It handles like a much smaller car, with quick steering and a planted feel that makes twisty roads fun. The ride is firm but controlled, so you feel the road without being beaten up on long trips. Inside, you get a well-built cabin with supportive seats and enough cargo space for weekend gear. That 3.0L V6 pairs with a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch and all-wheel drive, making this SUV feel eager off the line and responsive through corners; expect 19 mpg combined in mixed driving. The Sport Edition option added unique exterior trim and 20-inch wheels, but the S already delivers Porsche's signature steering feel and a firm, controlled ride that rewards an active driver.
