For how high the car is it feels so planted. Just as enjoyable to drive as my lowered cr considering its an c-suv. Congrats on your new car tho, hope it drives aa great as it looks!

Add in options and the Jag comes in way cheaper than the Porsche.

In regard to driving performance - I would give a slight edge to the Macan. Porsche knows how to make a vehicle move and feel like a sports car, regardless of size. But unless you plan on really carving mountain roads at the limits, the F-Pace is more than adequate and extremely fun on regular roads and some slight twists. It has no issues in the power department, with 340hp and 318ftlbs, compared to the Macan S 340hp and 339ftlbs. And I prefer the growl of the F-pace exhaust and engine note compared to the Macan (you can really hear the supercharger whine when you push the F-Pace engine!!!).

The Macan GTS (355hp 369ftlbs) is similar to the F-Pace S (380hp 339ftlbs), but much more expensive as well.

Ultimately, preference depends on how you like to drive an SUV. They are both very comparable and you can't go wrong with either one. If you plan on really pushing the SUV to the limits, the Macan is the better option. If you want a fast, great sounding and sporty SUV, the F-Pace is amazing (based on the F-Type, so you better believe its fun and sporty). Not to mention it has more cargo space and back seat room .
