Hi all, I need some advice on my next car. I am owning a MY 2017 Carmine red GTS. I like it a lot, but it is my 2th Macan and I want something newer/different. Especially the PCM feels out of date after I had a Panamera 4S Hybrid as a loaner for a couple of days.

So now I am considering this options:
Porsche Approved:
Panamera 4S diesel
Panamera 4S Hybrid Sport Tourismo
New:
In stock Porsche Macan S (or wait for GTS)
Order Porsche Cayenne Coupe
YOLO:
Porsche Approved: Porsche 911 991.1 GT3 (I don't per se need the space of a Macan or a Panamera)
I drive around 25K miles per year.

Every opinion is welcome on this (first world, I know) brainbreaker ;) But the topic of what would our neighbours or my customers think you don't have to keep in mind. I am a cancer-survivor so I really don't care what they think of it ;). I only live twice!

Thx in advance for your contribution.

I think you've answered your question with the YOLO option, then adding "I only live twice".

25k per year is a huge millage to put on a GT3.

I doubt you would enjoy 25k Miles a year in a GT3 great car though it is. If it was a second car then fine but I don’t think that’s your question

Depends on funds but a 911 for the special days and a Golf GTi for daily duties sounds perfect combo.

25k per year is too much for a GT3

I would go 911 and enjoy it but not sure I would want to do that many miles in a GT3.

If you wanted updated tech then you could look at the 992 4S. The new PCM is great imo.

I love my Macan GTS but the 911 is a different enjoyment altogether.
Some good 991.2 4 GTS around too but the tech will be the same as your current Macan if that’s an issue.
GTS 😀

For 25k miles per year I would buy Panamera 4S diesel.

Is that the 4 litre V8 engine?? Beast of an engine :D :D :D

For 25k miles pa, if you want the tech upgrade, some comfort surely and reasonable miles return go for Panamera hybrid sport Turismo, just need somewhere that has the length to park the beast. Personally think you can’t beat the Macan but could go Cayenne Coupe Turbo as long as your also happy with fuel station visits. Just go with what your heart and wallet can agree to 😉
