To be fair, the Cayenne is no POS vehicle. I'd own a used one w/o hesitation, especially if the known issues were dealt with or the price allowed doing them. (Like the plastic coolant hoses). They are tougher than all get-out and every single person I've known who's owned one praises it to the high heavens. I could care less about image or what some stranger thinks of my vehicle choice, I've heard that they drive better than you can believe.
