Just waiting for my 911T to arrive in a few weeks and trying to work out what to do with my current RS6.
I have an eager buyer willing to take the lease off my hands and pay all the transfer costs.
We have 2 kids, age 6 and 9 so while the 911 with work fine for them now (no car seats required) I still need something for family trips, winter stuff and moving bigger things from time to time.
I love the RS6 but it's overkill for that task, thinking of getting a used A6 allroad which will have even more versatility.
What are others doing for a second vehicle? I hate SUVs so that is out of the question as the 2nd vehicle.
I suppose I could just run the 911 all-year-round but I will be very limited in some of the aforementioned situations.
Wife does have an SUV so while that could work in a pinch, she can't drive manual so car sharing isn't going to work.

The A6 Allroad sounds like a great choice. I’m not a fan of SUVs either, but I ended up biting the bullet and buying a Honda Passport as our family vehicle. My kids are younger than yours, so I figured the family car would take a beating and I didn’t want to spend too much on something that would inevitably get destroyed by children.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many wagon options left in Canada.
I know you said you hate SUVs but you really should just "consider the possibilities" and test drive a Macan EV. REALLY nice second vehicle and once you drive an EV you quickly realize how nice they are as a daily driver. Infrastructure limitations can still make long distance traveling a bit of a challenge but is easy enough to overcome with some planning.
My second has been the MB S580 for almost three years now, alongside the SL63 and the .2 GTS. I honestly can’t say enough good things about it.
The trunk is huge, and the pass-through lets you carry ridiculously long items that wouldn’t even fit in my wife’s X5. It’s the best daily car I’ve ever owned, and I can’t imagine not having an S-Class in my garage.
I know it’s not the first car people think of as “versatile,” but it’s more practical than you’d expect: adjustable ride height by about 2 inches, all-wheel drive, a deep, cavernous trunk, real space for five adults, tons of storage cubbies, and every creature comfort you could want. On top of that, prices are below the high-performance wagons, it rides like a dream, and the handling with the optional e-ABC is unbelievable.
I agree with the concept of an EV (or PHEV) as a great daily.
My 2024 Range Rover PHEV has been an amazing comfort contrast and oddly more reliable than my 2025 T (small things). I’m sadly to the point of just choosing the Rover when my wife and I go places together, but it does make the drives in the T alone more special.
My wife and/or I use this 2-door Heritage Bronco when not in my 911. Not sure if it’s technically considered an SUV, but it’s a fantastic second-vehicle choice, especially if you get bad weather where you live.
OK, OK, it’s a Ford, but it’s been great and super fun to drive.
I have a 22 Macan S as a daily. Originally bought it for the wife trying to recreate the nostalgia from my 15 Macan Turbo, but she's moved on to a 26 X5. The ICE Macan platform is long in the tooth, but there's nothing else that really excites me in a similar price range.
Personally, I'd love to get an EV as a daily, but feel like it's too much of a compromise with our current lifestyle as the battery tech isn't where it needs to be for me yet.
