To be honest, I did not try it out. I spec one out when they first came out and I was at 100k CAD and I thought it was too much. My Audi dealer had given me a few loaners over the past year, S4 Q3 Q5, and as a daily driver the Q5 with the 6 cylinder was great and would have been my choice if purchasing new.. The delta between a SQ5 at 61k and a Macan S st 85k is pretty step but in all honesty there is a difference. With 21" rims, PASM and PDK it is a great combination.
My wife up to this time loved her Q7 but she loves the Macan now, right size, not too small and still enough room. I cannot get her out of it as witnessed by her parking beside me in my R8. Now she tells me I need to order her the Macan GTS in black! We shall see.
