A GT3 is a track focussed car, you would be better advised looking for a C4GTS or a lesser 911.

Hi

The cars you quote are wildly different beasts!

Panameras, Macans, Cayenne Coupé and a 911 GT3!?

How will you use the car? How often do you have passengers? Do you need to carry luggage?

As an owner of a 911 Carrera T as a sole car that I’m having modified into a ‘junior GT3’ I love the sound of your GT3 option, but as has been said, 25k miles a year would be a record breaking amount of miles to put on such a car! Even I only do about 15k miles per year! ;)

Good luck with your choice, but for more focussed advice from forum members, you need to help us by giving more idea of how your 25k miles are made up: what kind of journeys, how long, how often, with whom and how much luggage etc. :)

By the way, I owned a 2017 Panamera 4 for a year. Lovely car, but I just missed being in a 911. If you needed four seats and four doors, and something a bit more practical than a 911, the Panamera is a great car. And as ScotMac says, that diesel engine is a real corker! (Mine had the 3.0 V6 petrol engine.) And I found it ok to park, without a reversing camera or surround view. ;)

Well, its been a long time due to my treatments 😒, but I finally pulled the trigger. I bought a 1 yr old 911 T (thank you Simon). GT3 is too expensive for me and the T just ticked all my boxes. Love its sound and purity. It is black on black. I will post pics tomorrow! Thx all for your responses. Warm regards from Holland.
