Cayenne Diesel or Diesel S?

[gd]

Hi all,

I have a dilemma. I'm about to start a lot of long distance motorway driving, and having looked around I've settled on a Cayenne Diesel or Diesel S, and am about to buy a used 2016 or 2017 model.

I'm about to go and test drive some at the weekend, but what are your thoughts on these two cars - is the S really so much better than the base diesel? I know the S has a lot of torque, but is the base Diesel underpowered? And I realise the base Diesel will be slower but more frugal, but what sort of MPG are you getting in these on motorway runs?

Has anyone swapped between the two cars, and can contrast them for me?

Also, is there anything I should be looking out for when looking at these? Any obvious signs of abuse or faults? Any things I should avoid?

I'd appreciate any help you can give me

Thanks
Gary

Sounds great..... from where can I get one of these deals? My local OPC hasn't mentioned this.

Thank you all, lots of very useful opinions and I will look into them.

Does anyone know when the engines changed to AdBlue? it sounds like the pre-Adblue ones are maybe a bit better but at the expense of more modern PCM perhaps.

I've also found a dealer with the V6 Platinum cars for sale, so maybe one of those will be enough.

Thanks
Gary
