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.

    I’m driving Taycan for daily commute. Active lane keeping. But rarely use that. I enjoy the ride and I come to work with a smile and when i leave work i smile all the way home.

    I’ve used my Cayenne for long road trips. Takes the stress out of the many hours of driving each day.

    I’m not going to put 50k per year on any Porsche. Heck, I love driving but I don’t want to spend that much time driving…

    Either drive a fuel efficient cruiser that’s cost effective to maintain or I’m re-evaluating my business model…

    Correct Answer: Whatever is the smallest Toyota Hybrid that fits what you’re hauling.

    There’s no way I’d want to commute a Porsche with its maintenance costs, lack of fuel economy, expensive depreciation, and so forth.

    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
