WHAT CAR? SAYS
SUVS DON’T COME any sportier than the Porsche Macan; by any standard, this is a fabulous car to drive. For the best effect, you’ll need to add the air suspension, but it’s still brilliant fun on standard dampers. And the S version’s 354bhp gives you more than enough pace. Crucially, though, the Macan satisfies the head as well as the heart: it’s comfortable, well made, practical and holds its value superbly.
