Yes I know its a 914 forum and you guys have talked me off many a ledge. My Explorer is acting as though she will be checking out soon (250k on odom) thinking about a Cayenne. Any of you guys been down that road and what are your thoughts. Do it or avoid like the plague?

My 2 cents....Get a Touareg, same suspension and same body shell essentially, proper off road capability. I have owned three of them. One petrol (3.2) that was a bit of a slug and two deisel (V6) which pull like a 14 year old. I will never buy another petrol powered DD. The deisel power and economy are amazing, I get 1000 kms out of the tank on trips. 3.5 tonne towing capacity. The only Euro 4x4 that has low range and will cross a creek with up to 500mm water depth. Good approach and departure angles and good breakover as well. Excellent handling on and off road.
All in all, I've been very happy with the VW's Phil |
