If you had to drive 1000+ miles per week, what Porsche would be the best daily driver?

    A few opinions.

    • First, one that has already depreciated quite a bit. If you’re driving that much a week, the car is going to depreciate pretty quickly. A new, or nearly new, car will lose a lot of value.
    • Get one with all the driver safety features. Adaptive cruise control, blindside alerts, etc. Let’s face it. Porsches, and really any sports car, is going to have limited visibility. You want all the help you can get in the daily commute.
    • Pick one that won’t affect your hearing. I drove a 2nd gen Toyota Tacoma for many years. They’re notoriously loud. I developed tinnitus (ringing of the ears) and can’t help think the very loud vehicle contributed.

    Personally, that much time in a car, I’d want something seriously comfortable.

    Purchase a nicely specced Toyota/Honda and keep the Porsche for weekend and shorter trips. Makes it feel that much more special. Will be easier on your wallet too, not driving a Porsche 50k miles a year.

    Always amazing to me how often replies on Reddit have nothing to do with the original post. Like descending into average age of Redditor, or what speed ACC kicks in. To answer the original question…. Any model of Cayenne for the 1000 miles per week.

    Depends on where you’re commuting to, I got a nice daily and wish I didn’t - would have been better off getting a regular budget car and then a Porsche for the weekends

    But if I had to get one it would be a cpo Macan

    The new Macan GTS, plenty of room if it’s just you and some luggage. I don’t like putting too many miles like that on a nice 911. Although a 911 is more fun.
