Looks like the macan has it. My head has told me that all along, but every time I get in the Boxster and let the top down????????? We will be doing 400 to 500 miles several of the days between destinations, so I suppose my 72 year old back would appreciate the 18 way adjustable seats and there is the warrantee. We are also traveling with another couple who have a boxster and a Volvo station wagon and they have been also trying to decide. We may take the macan, they can take the boxster and switch off from time to time.

I'd love to hear how the Macan does in this long trip. See just how accurate all the initial quality studies that Porsche comes out on top of are.

We have a Durango Citadel 2014 with a hemi. My wife loves driving the car. The hemi pulls strong and is quite fast. . On long trips it rides super. All wheel drive and every creature comfort possible . My wife's old All Road went kaput on a rain storm, water got inside the car and ruined all the electrics. Car was totaled and Audi shirked all responsibilities and I was really upset at their attitude. Their contribution was 500 off on a Q-7 that cost over 65,000. I bought the Durango for 50,000 which is much nicer and offered more interior space. Good riddance Audi.

Home again... 23 days, 22 states and almost 8,000 miles in the macan and it was certainly the correct choice. There were some top down days that would have been nice to have had the boxster, but there were also several 700 plus mile days that would have been torture in it. Those 18 way seats are awesome.
Quite a lot of the interstates were 75 and 80 MPH so I was able to run 85 and 90. Averaged 22.8 MPG and performed perfectly. Ever so stable on all kinds of roads, wet or dry.
Everything they say good about the Macan is true.

You only live once. Drive thought the mountains with the top down every chance you get.

I've driven my turbo and Boxster on several long trips and basically they suck. Usually when we travel now we get in my GMC truck because it's super comfortable, we can see traffic better and it has a much better NAV/Sat system than our German cars. I'd take the Macan.

Rent an SUV and let someone else's car suffer the mileage.

As a lot of people already said, Macan. Great car. When I was in Barbados I used this car. Interesting fact. Barbados have +1 as a country code but has no area codes https://areaphonecodes.com/barbados/ which I find a bit confusing. After all, there are some countries with +1 too. Anyways. Macan was great for traveling.
