One ten day old baby. I live on a mountain in the southeast. Little snow. I do a fair bit of travel to Florida and am forced to drive my boring Landcruiser if I take my bikes and family. The C4S gets out a few times per month. Is the Cayenne Turbo a true Porsche Turbo that just sits a little higher? Or an X5?
Get the Cayenne Turbo. Honestly. I was in a similar situation when my wife gave birth to our first child because I owned a 996 Turbo during that period. After the birth of the child, I had less and less time to drive my 996 Turbo and I mostly drove our family car, a Mercedes ML55 AMG which actually was fun. But then, my wife expected our second child and it was clear: the 996 Turbo had to go because my time schedule would be even more tight than before. I sold my 996 Turbo, I miss it a lot but I'm happy I get a Cayenne Turbo end of this month after a short unsatisfying Mercedes E55 AMG "interlude".
Yes, the Cayenne Turbo is a real Porsche and no, it is no sportscar and not even close to your C4S. But it is fun and...you can have this fun together with your family, on long trips and even when it is snowing. After a few years, you can always reconsider your decision and go for a Porsche sportscar again.
Maybe you should ask your Porsche dealer to let you drive a Cayenne Turbo for a few hours.
