I had a Panamera e-hybrid a few months back. $115k window sticker. I had it for a long weekend and put some good miles on it. The electric motors gave it a lot of torque, but it was also a lot of fun in the city to just cruise around on the electric motors.
I took it to a wedding and someone's comment was "holy $h!t, $115k loaner- what do you drive!" Which is funny because my Carrera costs quite a bit less....

Got a 2016 Cayenne base as a loaner last week. It was brand new with 40 miles on it. Really nice vehicle but was underwhelmed by the power a bit. Handled fairly well for an SUV.

Had a Panny 4 - a dog. Had a Panny 4s hybrid (loaded) and it was a great luxury sport sedan. Also had a base Cayman 6MT and it was a blast! All white cars . . . No Cayennes, Boxsters, or 911s.

I had a new Cayenne GTS as a loaner over a weekend. Over $100k. My 981 was only $82k. ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I hated it. Big, gas guzzler. I was happy to get my 981 back.

His Royal Highness sends the 911 in twice a year for seasonal wheel/tire change and or servicing. The Vancouver Porsche center is way out in the boonies, but they have a pick up and delivery service. They have always come in Cayenne of some sort and leave it as a driver until they return the 911. This is basically the only free thing this dealer does. However, it’s pretty good as they say it is no big deal if I load it up with dogs and will forgive a tiny bump or scrape as these cars take a beating and need to be freshened up before resale anyways.

For the other discussion, the Macan is a much better driver's car than the Cayenne, but you give up space and off road capability.

When I went to inquire about a loaner they said they would give a Porsche loaner if they had any in, but enterprise if they didn't. They also said they tried to prioritize "long" service over 1 day jobs for their loaners.

I've had a Cayenne S, which I liked very much, a few base Cayennes, a Panny 4, a Cayenne S e-hybrid (like a science project) and a Boxster S, which I loved. So the little blue Boxster S led to the E550 Cab, which was just a bit better choice for me right now. My wife was really pissed at the SA who lent me the Boxster.
