Obviously we only ever hear about issues as opposed to the numerous car worked well today.

However, there does seem to be a lot and various time the car is in at Porsche.

When this is the case, normally what type of car do Porsche give you?

In the past, I've typically been given Cayenne or Macan loaners.

I've only had my Taycan in once since delivery for window tint and clear bra. I was given a Taycan Turbo as a loaner.

My dealer is really small. I was given Cayennes mostly, a Macan once, and a Panamera once. Never another Taycan, but there were only 3 or 4 in the entire state, so no surprise.

I've had two loaners: A Macan the first time and a Panamera the second. Nice vehicles, but I was happy to get back in the Taycan both times.

Our dealer goes out of their way to give us a loaner and it is usually determined by what is available. So far, every model except a 911. A Taycan 4S recently, but loved the Panamera GTS more!

99% of the time it's a Macan for me. I'm totally fine with that, as long as it gets me around while I'm in service and they do the work properly on my cars. Can't be too picky, or else my happiness level goes down way too much!

Fully agree. When I had a first-generation Cayenne many years ago, the dealership gave me a then-novel Panamera once but I presume they only did it to entice me to buy one.

It's up to the dealer, but I've had some real crap in the past. When they have to get you a rental, and I got some completely beat up and dirty Altima once.

I'd expect something decent now though. The last time I took in the Macan, I just hung out at the really nice dealer waiting area, since it was quick service, and it was easier to just wait.

Macan 2.0 without comfort access and keyless start. I had to pull out the key from my pocket to unlock it and then put it in the slot to start it. I don't understand why a luxury brand like Porsche doesn't include comfort access standard. Every car I have owned since 2011 had it and most of them were cheaper than the Macan.

If you bought a base Macan, you're after the badge anyway. It's way more expensive than a Q5.

Anything equivalent to a Porsche for options is always going to be way cheaper. :p

I just got my Taycan 4S back from a week at the dealership to deal with a dead 12V battery issue and they gave me a Taycan 4S loaner almost identical to my car. It was a very nice loaner and nice to have a similar car to drive while mine was serviced.

Macan or Cayenne here as well.
I suppose climate plays a certain role in the dealer's choice, because it's safer to loan clients 4x4 in wintertime

What did they do about the 12v battery issue?
