I hadnt realised there was a post so ill dump what i sent you via pm in here for others to comment on ....
First off you need to test drive one and have a sit in the front and back .. i find its a big car but a little on the small side inside , youll also find the turning circle is not as good as a Cayenne and the rear view mirrors .. well the rear view in general is pretty poor.
But these are all design issues , if you like the car then thats fine ..
There are no real set problems , a couple of things ive seen would be , front air suspension , you can get knocks on speed bumps or heavy potholes .. new suspension shocks ..
X2 engines have bore scored on no. 7 and 8 cyls .. but 2 out of well .. a lot makes it a pretty rare occurence ... ive seen more of Cayenne than Panamera do this .
Ive seen x1 turbo failure , under warrenty ...a few electrical faults but all pretty much one offs and at the end of the day any item can fail .
And thats about it .. just regular service items after that .
Difficult for me to say running costs .. i dont know mpg of any car let alone these !
But as they rarely seem to go wrong then i would guess they aint bad.
2 Year OPC warrenty and your pretty much covered .
I would suggest post in the forums though and ask running costs , other guys here have them so can give you an idea on Mpg .
