Porsche Cayenne Turbo

dxb335d · 06-24-2011, 02:55 PM

The first generation. How reliable are they. Got some poke and look half decent. Never been a 4x4 fan but have liked these because my father viewed one in 04-05 but ended up getting a 535d!

I'm thinking they go alright, can fit shit in them like the Pup! Etc and still looks half flash with a privy plate etc?!

What ya thinking?! I know looks are subjective?! But on a reliability front I'm after really and also any first hand experiences.

CHG · 06-24-2011, 04:05 PM

Hope you have a big wallet to keep it in fuel!

dxb335d · 06-24-2011, 04:08 PM

I was averaging 18mpg in the 335d for a long while. I ain't really bothered about MPG!!

CHG · 06-24-2011, 04:14 PM

I'd expect about 8 avg out of a Cayenne Turbo

And about £140 to fill it

But hell of a monster! I say go for it and take the consequences...you only live once

dxb335d · 06-24-2011, 04:17 PM

8's alright!!! I prob wouldn't get much more out of an M3.

How many miles for that 140? About 150?!

Are they reliable?!

dxb335d · 06-24-2011, 04:45 PM

400 quid tax aswell?!

Gibbo · 06-24-2011, 04:47 PM

How big is your dog? If it's not a Great Dane you can get a 335i and get a more fun car to drive?

dxb335d · 06-24-2011, 04:59 PM

It's a choc' Lab mate. She is just shy of 6 months and 20kg. I rekon she will be a large dog!

335i touring was on the llist. I don't think I could bear the heartache. (unreliability)

Depends what driving you're doing... I had a 4.4 V8 Range Rover Sport for a few days, and on a run I could get about 18/19.

As far as reliability, I honestly haven't a clue... I can't see them being too bad

Moh · 06-24-2011, 05:25 PM

Looks subjective?one of the ugliest cars I've come across,couple that with being disliked more than BMW drivers! Brother had a turbo S for 6 months

Dr Dave · 06-24-2011, 05:25 PM

Carl..you're mad mate!

Steve A · 06-24-2011, 05:32 PM

Carl they are mint, fast very reliable but seriously youll do a twoer a week in fuel.

Cheers for your views! Can't see the Turbo doing much worse than
that.

Vaheed1 · 06-24-2011, 06:44 PM

My wife's uncle has one (Turbo S) and it goes like stink...for a 2.5 tonne 'car'. It's very reliable - but then again he hardly drives it because the fuel consumption is shocking. He says you can cruise in it and it will return about 17mpg....but then what's the point in having nearly 500bhp on tap?

dxb335d · 06-25-2011, 06:47 AM

Cuz you can?! Or do you mean it differently?!

They are closer to 3tonnes mate!!

Wonder what the range is.

rjs · 06-26-2011, 03:56 PM

I've driven the first and second gen. They go like the clappers for such a big vehicle - and sound great too!

The first gen is one of the ugliest cars about though!

mikeysix · 06-26-2011, 04:44 PM

Get one mate! They do sound and go like stink. There nice and different from the norm of rrs an x5's!! Interiors look like nice places to spend time in too! And of topic but will what film is that clip from that you've put up?

mikeysix · 06-26-2011, 06:13 PM

Cheers sheps! I don't remember that bit so will have to get involved in hot fuzz again!

mowflow · 06-27-2011, 07:00 AM

Get an RS4 avant. It drives better, sounds better and looks better.
