Buy or hire the Macan if...
Porsche's compact SUV, built to feel like a sports car to drive rather than a family workhorse. Its turbocharged engine and sub-6-second 0-60 time put it ahead of most rivals in this size class, which suits hirers after a Porsche badge and driving feel in a car that still seats a family.
