Both 2007, either 4.8 2007 S or 4.2 SC RRS.

Ownership experiences and what to look for please.

Test driving both tomorrow.

Porsche.

Not driven either, probably never will but I reckon it will faster. So Im saying Porsche. Its my perogative as a PHer.

RRS sport has a bad reputation for big bills, and carries a WAG image with it. The Cayenne will probably hold it's values better and there are certainly less of them about, although I can't imagine it's going to be cheap to maintain - but of your two choices, I'd go for the Cayenne

If it were my money, I'd be looking for a FFRR, it might still have a reputation for being unreliable, but they have a better image than either the Cayenne or the RRS, will have more space and will do everything the others will do and probably a bit more besides.

Would tend to agree... but only the 3L TD6 and 4.4L V8 fall into budget (that haven't been to the moon and back).

I think the RRS is not new enough to have had the LR electrical bugs ironed out, So Porker for me (PS did own a RRS/SC for a short while, and it was an electrical disaster). LR also have a habit of making duff kit obsolete but with limited retrofit options for the new spares. They did this with early TD5 ECUs and I think some of the early RRS kit may be suffering the same fate. ie I'm sorry sir that part is NLA and you need a new loom/engine/car for the new part to fit/work.
