Hi All,

Always wanted a 911 however with the impending arrival of our first nipper that ship (or car) has set sail.

I can't face getting rid of my Jag so the Mrs has agreed that we get a 4x4 - she wants a new E70 X5 (diesel redface) however I am fighting on behalf of the Porsche Cayenne which she thinks looks ugly and old....

I'm thinking about the facelift version and looking at the 3.6 V6.

Not interested in economy, tyres, servicing etc etc but more interested in what they are like to drive and live with. Has anybody ever owned one? Any tips when looking to buy besides the obvious?

Any comments would be much appreciated.

Toby

Interesting - it's a theory I will always stick by that big but underpowered cars need more push, hence use more juice...could be just man logic though.

I will get her in one at the weekend, might have to throw a handbag in to sweeten the deal but think it's worth it! The thought of having the BM sound like a taxi has pulled up outside makes me shudder - especially as we only do 5k miles a year!

Good insight re the tyres - will def keep an eye out.
