Have you driven the base Macan yet? I had one as a rental (in LA actually) about a year ago. Although the specs look completely fine on paper (acceleration wise), I found that it would bog down w/ a delay when I needed to quickly accelerate to merge for example. It just felt underpowered overall. Weirdly, I didn't have the same impression of an Audi Q5 w/ the same engine that i rented a few months after that. Also, I'd recommend against getting the base seats (covered in whatever Porsche call their alcantara like material these days). I found that even with moderate outside temps, they got very hot and my back would sweat. Try to get one w/ ventilated leather seats if possible. Overall, I'm just not sure its worth the money over a q5.
