Handling and road feel are important. If you don't need a third row, or huge storage capacity, the Macan S is an awesome choice. Definitions of fun are important too. My first Exploder was a fun SUV, but the highway ride was not the fun part. It was a 2 door, 5 speed manual. The angle of approach and decent (distance from axle to bumpers) let me have a lot of fun with it off road. Might not have been as much fun as a Jeep Wrangler off road, but I could keep up with them. My Exploder took me places 99% of SUV's have never been

I am quoting what I think applies to the Mac turbo. Decent interior, usability (not as much as a mid-sized suv, but we will see), solid & connected handling (more so than my 535i or pretty much any other passenger car younger/larger than an e90), more than enough power.
And yes, to Clyde's point, it's no fun to slam your passenger or dog around (plus my dog will get me back later ). I hate being a passenger to someone who is pushing it. I want to be chauffeured. To be honest, I barely get enough time in either the Boxster or my higher performing bike (Duc multistrada) these days to even justify keeping them. I think I only managed 3k miles over the last 12 months on the 981S, while I had a good bit more the first year and a half I had it. Quote:
