Kind of thinking about getting rid of my 07 suburban as my DD with 190k on it i am starting to notice some wear. I was looking the other day at used suvs as i never buy new and noticed how cheap these are for as new as they are a 2011S can be had for about 13k with about 80k on them.

Any feedback?

Sold my 2004 Turbo last year.
The car hardly aged while I had it. Exterior and interior kept looking good.
The seats were comfortable and had good support.
Car had great power and good handling.
And it can tow everything.

The problem I find with this car is that is it's basically a very large sportcar.
Very firm suspension (even in softest setting), making it uncomfortable for a family roadtrip. Most people carry all kinds of stuff in their SUV's, which will fly all over when cornering at high speed. So why have a car that invites you to do so?

Items that I had to replace were:
Aircomprosser for suspension.
Replace plastic for aluminum air-intake pipes.

Sold it, when hydraulic oil started leaking through a seal in the transmission at around 90K miles. This would have costed me around $3K to have it fixed.

The one thing I never liked was the turbo-lag. In traffic situations where a quick responce can make a difference this car was failing.
Understand that you are considering an S, and not a Turbo, which might be a bit milder.

Good luck.

BTW - they do sell a cargo management tie-downs/net & a protective grill for between the rear cargo area & seating area of the cabin thru Porsche Techquipment, as well as aftermarket ones.

IMHO this is a requirement in any SUV/CUV, Van or other vehicle with the cargo area open to the passenger area - use tie-downs/cargo nets &/or the grill dealie - cuz the cargo becomes projectiles upon braking & accidents - even with the more mundane vehicles!
