I’ve also been toying with the same idea as the OP.
The 911 (997.2) appeal to heart and head but I’m still drawn to a Macan as we have family and dog. Does anyone have any experience or ever put their dog in a 911? Is this madness to consider?
The 911 seems like it would hold value but may cost more to run and the Macan the other way round. Am I wrong in this thinking also?
Depends how good a driver the dog is tbh.Originally Posted by daveyw
Ha! She’s a good girl
Is it just me that thinks cross shopping a 911 and a Mscan is very odd? They are very different cars with very different use cases.
Head vs. heart.
Was looking at macans the other day as my 911 fund is getting feasted on by everyone but me.
The boot space vs a Model Y seems minuscule if that’s a concern. Roughly 500L on the Macan and 850L on the Model Y. Killed it for me.
Really think the E43 estate could be the best of all worlds but it isn’t a Porsche.
It's not, but badge aside, there are plenty of decent boot space stuff that are equally entertaining. M5 touring as one example - personally I would go Alpina B5 Twin Turbo Touring.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
If I wanted a 911 I would never consider a Macan but again I guess it depends on your use case for the car. If I wanted a very practical fast car that handles well it would be Audi rs4/6.
Audi Q5 or Macan would be a better comparison.
Problem with Porsche is similar to Rolex. If you want a Submariner, no amount of Black Bays or Pelagos will do. You'll still want the Rolex.
If you want a 911, and get a Boxter, Cayman or even a Macan, every time you see a 911 you'll wish you were driving that instead.
Personally I think the current Carrera is one of the best looking cars on the road and the one to get, if you can.
Get that, been there - and was still not convinced that when I scratched the itch I had actually properly scratched it!

I found this admission to be a real head scratcher.
Have to say I think the styling on the gen1 987 is my favourite.
Great looking car.
My first Porsche was previously owned by Pink Floyd's Nick Mason
Blue 944 Cabriolet
Boot stank of petrol as somone had screwed a subwoofer through the boot floor into the fuel tank.
Those of us of a certain vintage will remember(pre using internet) Autotraders magazine for sports cars-Top Marques
Think it came out every 2 weeks and was like a porn mag for any petrol head.
Nice motor back in the day

Depends if you have extended warranty on Macan and pay extortionate rates for OPC service.
Generally though I would think you are right.
