The wife is giving me chew to buy her a Cayenne.......
After just getting a few offers of possible part ex deals I'd decided not to advertise it again and was about to pull the pistonheads advert. Then a genuine local buyer looking for a good un comes around and bids me close to what I was looking for for it.
I know how much most people on this forum dislike the Cayenne but...from anyone who has actually owned one, I'd appreciate some advice. I may be looking to buy at the early end (2003 or so) of the market(hopefully less depreciation..) Probably go for an S rather than a 3.2 but if anyone has experience of both appreciate any thoughts, what sort of MPG would you see on a 3.2, I was told that 20 isn't impossible with the 4.5? so is there really much of a MPG offset for accepting much less power?
That would leave me just about enough cash for an early E46 M3 as a toy.....maybe!

im not too sure on early build niggles but the early cayennes are stonking good value. Joel at RSJ has a good stock of them which all look mint and are in the right colours.
MPG on any of them is pretty bad i think and the 3.2 is a little gutless but the styling has certainly grown on me.
a friend had a turbo a year or so ago. that was simply mad. the speeds it was capable of just made me laugh. seriously good fun.
good luck in your search

if so, buy her a cayenne.
Get her a Turbo, you'd be quids in for a few months.
agreed, and tkink about all those chunks of 20 minutes peace.
20 minutes is cummulative right?
god, yes.
it includes smoking too.
Crikey, I was concerned there as after a few mins it's 'nothing to see here, move along'

no, no. its all in. for a start, i dont smoke, so learning will probably take up a good amount of that time.
With regards to the smoking, have you factored in time for coughing and perhaps a dry boke? I'd allow a good couple of minutes for that
god, at this rate, im not even going to have time for the chew.
can i get a pinch chewer to take my place?

And in keeping with your original question - I had a base Cayenne as a courtesy car and it was real slow - not even just compared to a 911. The slush box didn't help matters. Apparently the S is a bit more up for it.

Had both a Cayenne and Cayenne S as courtesy cars. The Cayenne is an utter gutless wonder. Def only get the 'S' if you're ever going to drive it, cos she won't care either way
Pretty much what I was thinking - yip I will be driving it also as it will be the "family car"....
