Cayenne 957 Diesel

[Tanvir]

Hi

I am looking to upgrade from a 2004 Cayenne to a 2009 Cayenne Diesel. There are some well documented issues with the 955 Cayenne's but I can't find much about the 957, what are the common issues to look out for?


Also, can the Diesel handle higher miles? As they near 100k, is this something to be put off by?

Many thanks

Had mine for a year and it's been faultless! Just had an oil service at the OPC which cost £340. Looking forward to a trip up to the Lake District and to North Wales in the next couple of weeks in it.

Thanks, what mileage has your car covered and what real world MPG do you get?

I like the idea of one of these for family errands, but aren't the V8's much cheaper and MPG negligible?

The computer says 21mpg but it doesn't see a motorway normally. Not as frugal as I imagined but then I like the shove! Managed around 550 miles on a full tank on a trip to Southampton and back.

Thanks, I took the plunge and purchased a 957 Diesel, absolutely loving it so far. Averaging 21MPG on one long run and two driving. The torque is great and have lots of toys to play with.

I scored 18.9mpg on a 600 mile round trip to Aberdeen and back a week ago in my Cayenne Turbo. In view of your 21mpg my man math totally justifies buying the Turbo!

19.9 is the current record up and 9.8 on the down. Still super unleaded is getting cheaper. You'd want 30's to even start to consider an oil burner.

Had a 2009 Cayenne diesel for 3 years and it did roughly 27MPG.

Just upgraded to newer shape (2011) and the difference in driving experience is massive.
The new car feels so much more responsive and the 8 speed auto box helps a lot.

Steering is sharper and whole car feels a load lighter.

My Cayenne deisel new shape with 8 speed auto does mid 30's mpg no prob on long term so over first 10000 miles so would highly recommend it from that point of view
