I've just driven a Cayenne S for the first time.

What a terrific motor car !

Quick, terrific handling, firm of steering and ride, yet yielding and compliant. A better car for UK country roads in the winter would be hard to find.

I love my C4, but the extra visibility offered by seeing over hedges and getting earlier view of sight lines is fantastic!

I have only one reservation. The image.

It is not a subtle car, and with even regular 4x4's attracting negative social comment from some quarters, how would the imperious looking Cayenne be received by an increasingly ragged and spiteful culture?

Or should I stop caring about what the prols think and buy one anyway? Let them eat cake...

if you like it, go for it.

is there no way you could buy another car for commuting/shopping?

Bangernomics!



The voice of reason ! You are quite right of course, and if I am honest the Cayenne appeals only because it is a new toy and I have'nt had one before.

It would make more sense to use bangernomics, and the culture of envy is beginning to pee me off. Perhaps I'll just buy a big Landie Defender...an ex army one in camo..with a gun !
