Drove a Cayenne S - Wasn't Impressed

I bought mine in 2015 for $59k with a 2 year CPO Porsche warranty and I bet you could buy one similar to mine for about $30k now.

Have you driven a Durango? You can get them pretty tricked out for relatively cheap. Pretty spacious interior.

My Flex is a 2017 with 21k. A comparable CTT would be a LOT more money. Even a 2011 with low miles would be really hard to find under $40k. Trust me I looked.

Yeah we drove the Durango R/T before we bought our Flex. Better seats, the Hemi sounds great, and a pretty good suspension, but the interior is even cheaper and overall it’s not as practical as the Flex. Our final 3 were the Flex, Durango R/T, and Explorer Sport Ecoboost.

Loved my Cayenne Turbo, but found the S lacking. I got to drive the Urus for about an hour on back county roads, and wow, price excluded it’s an excellent SUV, with the best interior I’ve seen.

Come on lotto...

I have an '06 Cayenne S and love it. On this thread it makes me an oddball. You can search other Cayenne threads and find nothing but glowing reviews. The gas mileage is terrible, but it is a trade off for the versatility. I can travel with my family of 4, tow the boat, carry 4 bikes on the back, or just eat up interstates. It handles very well for an SUV, handles the rain like a boss, and is very well behaved in the corners as well as long drives.

I have almost 140k miles and it is still rock solid. Very happy with it. To each their own I guess.

If you drive it and like it, buy it!

My opinion only,
Bob

A luxury SUV? How about this one? The guy in the ad posts on another board I visit.
