I was looking at the early generation Cayennes and thinking about trading the Rabbit in. I haven't really heard of any problems with these 'trucks' but maybe I'm missing something...
Anyone own one of these guys? What do you think? How long have you had it? Anyone heard of common problems with the drivetrain? Looking into it for a tow vehicle. |

QUOTE I hear a lot of people poking fun at the Cayenne. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I admit, I had many (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) were they thinking! moments. Bottom line as I see it now: 1. Porsche is a car company not necessarily a sports car company. 2. In the SUV class that it's in, it's a worthy competitor with it's own merits (BMW, Mercedes, Range Rover/Land Rover). I'm not a fan of the "issues". I don't think they should be there on a $70k vehicle but, this is the first gen and it's been one hell of a successful vehicle for Porsche. Plastic pipes? S-T-U-P-I-D (No? Then why did you decide to make the replacements out of metal huh Porsche?) Bosch can't make a coil that won't crack? They should be ashamed at this point. Cardon shaft? Mine was replaced before I got it and I don't really know the issues. Regardless... make sure those things are addressed and it "should" be a good runner. |
