Ok too be truly honest , I didn't expect my return to Porsche ownership to be a SUV however...
Just bought one (Jan 2012 Cayenne 3.0 diesel) wife wanted something smaller and a bit nippier (relatively speaking as her current car is a Land Rover Discovery 4 **)
Not taken delivery so I can't comment on the drive yet (it arrives Monday)-
However coming from Land Rover/Audi I was shocked at the the huge list of options, many of which I would have considered as std items on a luxury SUV. The used car prices were all over the place (based on spec/options) with advice not to touch a non sat nav/air suspension car....
Car listed new at £45k std, plus £13k of extras...now 3 1/2 years old, sub 20k miles, no Porsche warranty - fully landed with me should be about 60% of fully optioned up list price.
**little less power than Disco 4, lot less weight, 1.2 seconds faster to 62mph, 25 mph higher top speed, c40% better fuel economy, 2 (some would say 2.5) less seats....
