Cayenne Turbo 2015
Discussion
I owned one for about 6 months (facelift 2015 about 4 years ago), it was the most silly car I've ever had, had to sell it much earlier than planned.
It was very fast, would handle & grip but you had to take it on faith (almost ignore the mass).
Sports exhaust , Panroof, power tailgate, 14 way seats, LED lights and rear camera all useful.
No issues with mine (had high miles ...55k at the time), went through tyres and wheels prone to curbing.
A midnight 20 mile cross country blast resulted in 13 mpg.

Looking at these. Seem to be a fair bit cheaper to insure than comparable FFat SUVs.
Appreciate views on them.

I have a 2016 Turbo currently as my daily and I don't find it silly at all.
It's comfortable, plenty quick enough loads of space and well equipped as standard and I like the looks a lot. It sounds amazing in sports plus according to my neighbour
had it 14 months, no issues so far but I suspect the transfer case may be wearing out it's going in for diagnosis of a rumble under aceleration next week. These are a known weakness, my car is on 37K miles only.
It generally does 20+ mpg on most journeys but if mpg is your focus this isn't the car for you, I don't do many miles any more maybe only 7000 a year in this car?
Insured with Footman James on a multicar so I guess about £600 and I have chosen to extend the Warrantywise (we'll see how that fares next week!) as I ran out of time to look around, it's about £80 per month currently.
Mine has a light interior which I prefer, pan roof heated/ventilated seats soft close heated steering and Burmester which is streets ahead of Bose and 18 way seats which are brilliant. I have blind spot alerts (lane change assist?) on the insides of the mirrors too which is useful.
The quality inside the car is miles better than my last BMW M - go for it they are fabulous fun and a great place to sit.

I have a 2013 Cayenne turbo, owned if for 18 months. Now 81k miles.
Bought it with full OPC history and warranty which I have just extended (£900). Car is brilliant, comfortable, fast, great as a family workhorse but also fun to drive (as much as an SUV can be). I am really pleased with it. Mine is high spec with pano roof, heated and cooling seats, extended leather interior, heated windscreen and steering wheel.
Only fault has been air suspension. The compressor stopped working. Was picked up by Porsche and replaced under warranty and delivered back to me. Great service. Oh and the sunroof was stuck/slow due to lack of previous owner use. Lubricated by Porsche and has since been fine. Just had a service at Porsche Guildford, minor service + Air con + brake fluid was about £750
