I don't know man, the Macan is so slow for the $ being asked. Isn't the Macan Turbo something on the order of 106mph trap speed? Might as well get a cheap E90 335xi that is "full bolt on" for a quarter of the cost
If I were in the OP's shoes, I would split that 1 expensive AWD car into 2 cars, and get a toy and a diesel small SUV
OP's picks are like all season tires. OK at everything, but not great, and very costly |
splitting the car is what I ultimately did. some people are perfectly fine with all season tires and get along just fine with it.
the Macans aren't crazy fast but I forget their numbers ... you get a sporty looking/feeling car supposedly on a good chassis that is also fairly nice to be in. You definitely pay a lot for the true heavy hitters from porsche.... a FBO e90 would be fast but would feel 100yrs old in comparison, and be smaller. e90 n54s do have a place in my heart though as that was what got me hooked on BMWs.
test drives and a subjective, honest assessment is usually what it takes to make the final call. the main issue we all run into is that there really isn't usually a right or wrong answer.
