Cayenne turbo owners - need feedback

I think I have decided to search for a used Pepper wagon turbo as an edition to the herd . Probably looking at a 2004 - 2006 based on price point . So for those of you that have one of this age or had one what are the pluses and minuses ? This will NOT be a daily driver . And yes I know fuel mileage is a little thirsty . But I am at a point where I don't care . I'm looking for a fun vehicle with the room for 4 -5 and I think the Cayenne will be perfect . I know about coolant pipes being a shortcoming along with driveshaft bearing anything else to look out for ? My wife asks you have your Porsche what about me ? So I am trying to fill that void .

i have a 08 turbo and it has been breakdown free for the 25k that i drove it. no plastic coolant pipes on the 08. The early ones (04-06) are prone to all sorts of long term problems. Look on rennlist forum and you will find a ton of info. And yes with 500 HP, these are fun cars/trucks.
