Hey folks,

I am an Audi S5 owner and quite enjoy the car, but I’ve been toying with the idea of moving into a Porsche.

I love the power of the S5 (it’s chipped) but am partial to SUVs (i like the visibility of being up higher) and I don’t much care for the looks of the SQ5 and the SQ8 is overpriced.

I am looking at the Cayenne - a CPO. I typically buy cars that are a couple of years old and which already took the depreciation hit, but are also low miles.

Anything I should know? Opt for maintenance package? I think extended warranty is a good idea given the complexity of these vehicles (Audi, MB, Porsche)?

I guess my main concern is reliability, followed by comfort, power and a quiet cabin.

TIA!

    I’m on a stage 1 S4 and I’m swapping into my Macan GTS tomorrow. Basically what everyone else is saying in here, there will be no lack of a sporty feel that you’re used to, but also the option to enjoy a more cushy SUV feel

      What year GTS? Come Summer, I’d like to take one on the commute I’ll be starting… big investment and a 30 min test ride ain’t gonna cut it.

        Well I’m getting a new 2024, but really the Macan GTS from the 2 previous generations are all amazing as well

          congrats! I have been looking at the GTS and it does look like the one … I only keep cars 2-3 years typically - but that’s because I haven’t found “the one” yet. Macan GTS does hit everything I am looking for in a vehicle…
