Advice needed
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.
