Which SUV - RR Sport or Porsche Cayenne
Discussion
As the title says would you rather a Range Rover Sport (tdv6 3.0 HSE luxury) 2011 vintage or spend £5k more and get a Cayenne 3.0 diesel also circa 2011?
I need the space of an SUV as soon to be a family of 5.
I do like a car that handles and drives well. Worth mentioning I also have an e46 M3 which I love but am struggling to justify keeping.
Current thinking is sell the M3 to fund the extra cost of the Cayenne.
Or keep the M3 (it's a good low mileage coupe manual) regardless. They are supposed to be going up in value.
Thoughts gratefully received.

Ive had both
My Range Rover sports were reliable , beautiful to be in (2015 and 2016) both a high spec HSE, and an AutoB (both 3.0 diesels)
The sat nav was dim witted, 7 seat (in one of them) was useful, overall both great cars...( the were latest gen RRS sports and considered miles better than the previous generation)
The cayenne 2011 (3.0 diesel) high spec ....was much faster and better handling (air suspension) bit more German inside (high quality but lots of buttons, chrome, lights etc) functionally better but not as special.
I know many RRS owners and there are very occasionally a bad car (build quality reliability, so worth getting checked out).
At that budget I would get a Cayenne....I sold my one prev owner cayenne (last year) with 30k miles, (£13k of extras) for sub £30k
it was leagues ahead of the previous generation range rover sport

I'd go for the Cayenne.
I do like Range Rovers, but there is something a bit "off" about the image of the RRS (certainly the previous generation model, anyway). Whenever I see one, I think "second division footballer" or "independent pharmaceutical salesman".
ETA: Have you considered high-powered versions of BMW's X5, or Merc's ML?
