Having achieved one ambition of buying myself a brand new Porsche (and a great car) I couldn't help looking out of the window at the Macan and thinking, yes it's a Porsche, but it's not THE Porsche that I've always dreamed of!
Hence, very rashly and hastily, I traded it in for my lovely pre-owned 991.1 C2.
The rest, you probably know...

I hope nobody takes offence because the post is meant to be tongue in cheek
It just seems that almost all the long term users are moving out of Macans into 911s or Caymans...
Or out of a Macan, into a 911, into a Panamera, into a 911...
P.S. Who's buying a Cayman?
It was "Retired"'s signature that prompted the comment.

For me Macan ownership is a completely new level of driving. I've always purchased year old vehicles outright and then run them for 6-9 years! So the pattern here is foreign to me. Are there members running Macans into the 30K plus mile range?

I have had a Macan for a year approaching 30k shortly.

Not all of us are moving into a 911.
In all honesty if I moved into a 911 of my own it would be a permanent move, I would be stuck in the thing, they are far to low for this old guy with a bad back and shot at hips.
Even the Macan is causing me problems as the seating is just so damn high off the ground I struggle to get out.
So my next car will not be a 911 or even a Porsche.

I'm barely out of newbie shorts compared to some here, but forums are a bit like real life - people come and go. This one is much friendlier than most, and genuinely useful, and I plan to keep the Macan long term. So I'm afraid I'll be hanging around.
Re the 911 migration, I don't see it happening in my case. It wouldn't work for me as a Macan replacement, and (heresy alert) I didn't find the 997T I had a few years ago to be quite exciting enough as a weekend toy. Oh gawd, what have I said...
997 Turbo was a failure in terms of engagement in my opinion so would agree. 991 much better!
