New Porsche Cayenne Diesel
Discussion
Hi Saj, I don't know if it's transferable, I doubt it.
Not thinking of changing yet, I don't know what could come close thats out there at the moment. Every time I think about upgrading to a V8 Diesel I think about all the times I've owned high performance vehicles before and thought what a waste, you can't use it. V6 Diesel is plenty quick enough, and still ticks all the fuel economy/load carrying/driving enjoyment boxes.
Might reconsider in a few years if they drop the upgraded V6 Diesel in the front.

That rules out the transfer bit then, really its down to you, I probably will just so that I have peace of mind, but will see closer to the timeNot thinking of changing yet, I don't know what could come close thats out there at the moment.

I will not be changing mine for a while, need to get my monies worth, I did load it up with options.
I know what you mean mine is plenty quick enough for what I need, every time I do want to get motoring I need to slow down, so will not be moving to a V8, probably change to the new shape when it comes out, if it is something I like.

Mines approaching it's second birthday, and because I didn't go for the third year warranty from new I've just received the third year extension offer from my OPC.
They'd like 1109.00 of my pounds for the privilege, but before I get to pay that there's another £180 (plus VAT!) for the 111 (not 110 or 112, but 111) point check to be carried out by Porsche before they sanction the warranty.
So that's £1325 for a further 12 months piece of mind and cover - or forget that, and give £100 to the RAC for breakdown cover with a courtesy car, and hope nothing breaks in the meantime that might cost over £1200.
Question is, has anyone out there had any major issues with theirs that might break the bank, because mine (so far) has been faultless.
Rear suspension mounts have failed on both sides - repaired by OPC in years 2 and 3They'd like 1109.00 of my pounds for the privilege, but before I get to pay that there's another £180 (plus VAT!) for the 111 (not 110 or 112, but 111) point check to be carried out by Porsche before they sanction the warranty.

Propshaft changed, rear air Suspension changed, really bad noises - dampers gone, but they couldn't separate the dampers from the air "spring" bit due to corrosion so had to change the whole lot.
Took some convincing as "noise" not covered by warranty but they did it anyway (would have been something like 2,5-3 k€ if I remember correctly. Noise is now back, fronts now me thinks.
Car now 3,5 years old, about 90 tkms.

When the Diesel S was launched I was thinking it would be my replacement when the time came but I have now changed my mind. I find the V6 is plenty quick enough, especially if you use Sport mode and any more power would be mostly wasted so will be hanging on to it for a while longer. Even if I was ready to replace it I wouldn't because I don't want another black car and I find the colour choice very limited. A change to the colour options on the Cayenne is well overdue.
Mine is now (just under) 4 years old. Have renewed the warranty every year available and it's paid for itself each year. Little things, but they're always expensive.
PS. 4 year service was 2,000 AUD. Also needed new discs and pads all round, an additional 2,700 AUD. Runs like it's brand new now

Crikey ! That's almost Range Rover level of warranty stuff !Took some convincing as "noise" not covered by warranty but they did it anyway (would have been something like 2,5-3 k€ if I remember correctly. Noise is now back, fronts now me thinks.

I have metallic black at the mo with the turbo wheels, sport design kit and the monochrome pack etc etc, just think it looks the nuts but a biatch to keep clean in the winter. Next time maybe metallic grey just for a change but perhaps there might be some new colours
Almost certain there will be variants of the colours available at the mo, so a different and hopefully darker Grey etc.Agree Black difficult to keep clean, but when it is clean looks exceptional, imo

Hurrah! Just heard that as of Friday, my new Cayenne Diesel was sitting at a port in Germany waiting to be loaded on to a ship. Should be ready for collection before the end of the month, which isn't bad going considering I only ordered it at the end of January
Ours has a build date in mid-April/delivery 10 days later, just missed the boat (excuse the pun) for a March build when ordering mid-Feb!For those seasoned Cayenne II owners looking to change or others awaiting the facelift, spy photographers have been busy:

Can't tell much about the rear lights, but front end looks to adopt a similar style to the Panamera facelift and Macan. Taking a closer look, it looks like the round fog lamp prototypes will be the 'cooking' models and the trapezoidal fogs belong to the GTS/Turbo - similar to design language for the front end of the Macan. Obviously the 4point LEDs available across the board to be expected along with the 918 style m/f paddle wheel. Seems like a more subtle facelift than compared to the one for the first gen Cayenne

This is just a facelift (ie 958.2) as opposed to a completely new model that will be a long in a couple of years, I wonder if the revised model will get PDK or if it will be the gen 3 that does.For those seasoned Cayenne II owners looking to change or others awaiting the facelift, spy photographers have been busy:
