I'm looking to buy an older Cayenne (2003 or 2004).
So far I've seen two. One had an engine tapping noise so I just avoided it. The other one was nicer but the engine was very loud at idle. I don't mind a loud engine but I was concerned it meant the engine wasn't very healthy.
Once in the cabin and driving, the engine noise wasn't that noticeable. Even at full throttle it wasn't particularly noisy.
It was the V8 version
Otherwise, I was really impressed with the Cayenne. I was surprised at how sporty and precise the suspension was for such a big car. Although it did seem a bit slow under hard acceleration.
