Potential Cayenne Turbo purchaser - super tips?
Discussion
Hi All,
So I currently run an 2005 Audi A6 Avant, 4.2 V8 Quattro, S-Line, which truly is one of the best car's I've had. Previous cars include M3, 335D, Supercharged 318is, so I do like a fast euro wagon.
Family a desire to lug big things around now and again leads me to wanting fast estates. So as my Audi is getting on a bit in miles and age, I'm thinking of when things start going wrong of what I will replace it with, that and the two - three year car change itch is kicking in hard.
So, looking at fast estate options it seems that for my max budget of 6 - 10k there isn't all that much out there. I do like 4WD now that I've had it so would like to keep that, so that leads me to either an Audi S6, around a 2007 model, Audi Q7 4.2 TDI or what to me seems like the best bang for buck, a Cayenne 4.5 Turbo.
It seems like a lot of car for the money and the reviews of the performance, reliability and build quality are good. I do most of the work on my motors myself, so not too worried with regards to most things, and having the Audi V8, I'm ok with 21MPG average so I'm sure 17MPG won't make me cry much more.
I only average 7k - 8k a year on it, probably less, so the cost difference between a 17mpg guzzler and a something like a 30mpg diesel estate / SUV isn't too much of a concern, the fun factor is worth the 100quid a month difference! Also got an Electric Leaf for the bulk of the journeys so really can cut costs as much as I like.
So, what are peoples thoughts on what to look for, or if there is something out there that ticks my boxes of a fast estate / SUV that might be better?
Cheers all!
