The decision continues!
I mean don't get me wrong, I've driven a GT4 for a few days and it ain't that. Even my M235 is better in the twisties. But compared to stuff that you'd actually compare it to it's pretty amazing. I had a loaded 5-series as a loaner a while back and would take the Macan over that in a second, just to compare to what most would agree is a pretty good sedan. For longer trips, highway etc Macan is the best option out there.

If you're seriously considering one the S is really the sweet spot. The GTS if you want the looks sure go for it, but the Turbo is really not worth the extra money to drive in the US.
