2004 Cayenne Turbo

[hadenough!]

In 6 months time I'll have had this for 5 years. Not sure what I'd swap it for all things considered.

Err, More pics? Costs? Miles covered?

Three words. I, LOVE, IT!

Really do have a thing for performance SUV's, there's just something that is so 'ego' about it - love it!

A spreadsheet of money spent in those five years would make interesting reading.

Its aged well for a 13 year old smooth tarmac plugger

About to get a 2007 S as my first Porker, can you advise any preventative maintenance ?

[AuthurDaley]

Have a soft spot for any fast 4x4 - If i recall these are particularly rapid. Sub 6 to 60?

Touch wood, other than an early issue covered here:

It's been pretty good, no real suprise and running costs pretty reasonable all things considered. GT1 in Chertsey look atfter it, there is however no chance I'm digging out the invoices and looking at the total cost, I'll just satisfy myself knowing that nothing in isolation has made me quart ion my ownership. It's on about 97k now.

Still here

Please will you keep the updates short please.

[haggishunter]

And stop drowning us in all this detail!

[lockhart flawse]

Sorry but I think it looks gopping. No idea how it goes but jeez what an absolute thing.

[hadenough!]

Thanks for sharing, also thanks for reminding me why I no longer bother with pistonheads. Such bad manners.

Tell us a bit more! I’m sure quite a few of us look at early Cayenne Turbos on Autotrader thinking that they are such a lot of car for the money.

What have you done with it? How does it compare to others in the class? Are the bills as frightening as we all think they could be?

And pictures man, we need pictures!

Thanks for posting.

Just ignore them, they will be the 'sensible diesel owners wearing brown suits and sandals and boring anyone who will listen about how good their fuel consumption is while they slipstream lorries at 56mph'.

I looked at these when I bought the X5... didn't have the guts to buy one you had though.... might have to look again.

A lot will depend on how it's driven. Use even three quarters of its potential regularly and you will be paying out a LOT.

Ignore the obvious knob, give us some details man!

What's it like as a daily? Any nifty features you'll miss on another car? Servicing/running costs are suitably hilarious I assume?

[MX6]

My girlfriend really likes these and they do look like a lot of motor for the dosh these days. I'm a bit terrified of it breaking and having to fix it though, how yours been on the reliability front?

We had an 04 Turbo, they are blisteringly fast for an SUV and handled extremely well...450hp and 450ftlbs as standard. Do the free exhaust mod and the V8 sounds so menacing. Comfort wise it was absolute bliss, every contraption you could want in a car and more. They only single thing that let it down for me was fuel, 19mpg was the best I ever managed driving like Ms Daisy. Day to day normal running around would see 14-15. I didn't buy it for economy and expected it to be bad, but with the miles we did it wasn't feasible as a daily runner. Apart from that in the year we had it there were no issues or surprises.

Looks great on the smaller wheels with the roof box. Could definitely see me in one in the future.
