To be honest - car history is 330d Sport, then 530d Sport then X5d Sport then 535d Sport then X5twind Sport and 335d Sport and the GTR - so really a diesel guy - however nothing will compare to GTR acceleration - I am past that now.....( 2 speeding tickets / driver awareness )
I enjoy the Porsche and Macan.

I upgraded to a Macan SD after parting with a Jaguar F type S. Not a big deal really, both nice cars to drive. But our roads are now hopeless for getting any fun out of a sports car. Back roads are full of pot-holes and Sunday drivers, A-roads are congested, and motorways have either Average Speed Cameras or roadworks. After two years of frustration it was time to part with the F-type and get an unassuming car with plenty of quality and enough power without refuelling every day.
Have I any regrets? I miss the totally gorgeous shape of the F-type not being in my driveway, and the great comments I used to get from total strangers, but that is all. I love driving my SD and can't wait to get on the road in it again. Even if it means I am in a traffic jam!

I'm not worried at all. A lot of my driving is up and down the A1 so applying all the old logic, diesel makes sense for me. Also, I recently sold a diesel Audi Q3 and was surprised how little it has lost in value since I bought it new, in spite of what the naysayers think. The number of diesels sold this last year or so may have fallen, but I believe when it comes to SUVs diesel makes most sense. Granted, the Macan is not a typical SUV but there is enough DNA in its makeup to go along with the "diesel makes sense" theory.
