My 'all in one' solution has been an Audi (boo hiss) A4 Avant for the past 9 years. Last fall I bought an '02S. Still have the A4, but as nice as the Audi drives it is a 'sporty' car, not a sports car. I think a Macan would be the same.

Thanks all for the considerations.

I know I would miss the Boxster no matter what but do think it would be nice to have one car and not rotate between two. I've also toyed with the idea of giving the kid the Grand Cherokee and taking the Boxster as my daily and then I could still have access to the Jeep when I need the space but I'd rather have my own car.

Regardless, I'm keeping the Jeep and Boxster at least through the summer. I just wanted to see if anyone else grappled with this and if so, how they settled it.

I will say that the Jeep, being as old as it is, is still a beast in the snow, is in darn good condition for an 08, and is easy to throw dirt in the back if I have to. I don't think I'd be willing to do that in a Macan.

When my daughter got the driver's license last year, I gave her then my daily SAAB and my Boxster stepped up as my daily car, through Michigan winter on dedicated snow tires and hardtop, very reliable and tons of fun, every day!

I'd give the Jeep to your son and DD your boxster, and start having more fun with no additional payment.
