Why did you get rid of the Macan? I have a deposit on a Macan GTS, but would need to get rid of the M3 and I'm starting to have doubts and may be asking for my deposit back. |
Got it for dad as his daily. Literally only reason it's gone is that he needed something closer to the ground to get in and out of easily. He has hip and knee problems.
That said it's an amazing car. I drove it from Philly to buffalo and back in under 24 hours and loved every minute of the 11 hours I was driving. Yes, that's very fast for that trip
Regarding S vs Turbo, be realistic about what you're doing with the car. I've driven both and honestly it wasn't worth the price premium to me for the kind of driving we planned for the car. The S is plenty fast for what we were doing.
Is it an M3? No. Is it a lot more versatile and still fun to drive? Absolutely. If you need the AWD and room and still want something fast your options are basically Macan, E63 (which I don't like) Panamera (new one supposed to be nice) and S5 sport back (due in 10-12 months). Those are at least the only things I'd look at.
