I've owned Porsches for the last 25 years and think there is no better car that offers the mix of good reliability and great performance and a little panache. That said, I have a 981 GT4 that's been a ton of fun but am thinking of trying something else. The McLaren 650s has great performance numbers and the values aren't too far off what I could sell my GT4 for. Anyone have experience with both? I don't think the McLaren would be a long term car for me, maybe 2-3 years. Thoughts?

How close is a McLaren Dealer to me ???
The only thing I Personally would would be concerned about would be Service and Reliability.

No direct experience with the 650s. I have done what you are considering though and am extremely happy for the change. I've been in Porsche's for a long long time (and still own my late wife's Boxster) and enjoyed all of it. But like you I was looking for a change. I went in the English direction but not McLaren - I went to Aston Martin. I'm loving the new dynamics of it all.
