    I keep my everyday driver for years i.e two cars in 30 years, the 380SEL then the Rangie, so I bought last February a new Macan S (boring ).and I don't see it as a long term car.

    So.. two thoughts , upgrade to the more sporty Macan GTS with the Chrono pack or bight the bullet and buy a new Jaguar F-Pace SVR , on average the car will do around 5,000ks p/A .

    I could buy a 4 or 5 year old Bentley Flying Spur V8 ,but this car will live outside ,be a shame to do that to one of those.

    I'm not concerned about re-sale as the car will be long term .

    Thoughts ?

    I just gave my thoughts on the other thread, but here again...I've got an RS3 Hatch as my daily & just love it, 5 cylinder torque, great handling, wonderful sound, very comfy inside & just superbly nippy in the traffic.

    I’m not an SUV guy at all, but I reckon both the F-Pace and I-Pace are good looking cars.
    If I was in the market for something like that, that’s where I’d be heading.

    Thoughts on the Macan GTS which is a very different car to the S model, even a different motor.

    They are very expensive.

    Ride like a dray on poor roads.

    A Macan Turbo is the pick of the bunch, however even more expensive.

    What about a Gen 8 Golf R, Audi RS3 or AMG A45 s?

    what model and year?

    I'm not an AMG fan , to stiff in the chassis for me , even on the soft settings.
