It is not every day that you get to test-drive your Christmas present before you receive it. That is what Anthony Yong’s wife, Siow Yin Yin, did last December when she road-tested two cars he had chosen, while he sat in the back. A second practice run confirmed what they already knew: the Porsche Macan S was the car for the family. They put in an order that same day.
The sporty Macan S is one of six variants of the five-door compact SUV model, and features distinctive recessed headlights and sideblades referencing the marque’s super sports car 918 Spyder. It made the cut not just for its good looks, but also because it offers safety and stability, two key criteria for the couple as they have two children, a 13-year-old son and an eight-year- old daughter. “The Porsche Macan S is comfortable and makes the family feel safe during drives because it’s sturdy, with good braking and handling. I feel secure with the kids inside,” says Anthony.
