Personally I love Porsche and have driven the Macan Turbo (outrageous  ) however the fact remains FOR THE MONEY the x1 is a steal. You can fully equip an msport 2.8 e84 (this assumes the f48 is around the same price) right now and not reach the base on the Macan. So really what you have to ask yourself in the case of the Macan is am I willing to sacrifice 50-100kish for a smallish suv that will kick most cars ass on the highway in complete luxury and style. Personally I cant afford that yet so the Macan is not for me and for me the x1 has plenty of power and refinement for what I need.
Just my 2 cents. |
I did not forget the Macan's price. My point is that it is senseless to compare a Macan in any guise to the upcoming F48 X1. it's common knowledge that you pay-to-play when it comes to any Porsche. only the current E84 X1 in xdrive35i Msport trim better compares with a stock Macan S in terms of 0-60 and quarter mile. now interior quality, ride comfort, NVH and appearance is another story.
