Which model Cayenne did you have? I just picked up an "S" model
with the 400hp V8. Other than the hit I'm taking on gas mileage,
I'm liking it so far. Good that my commute is short.

Never had a Cayenne. Only Porsche I had was a 2002 911/996 twin turbo.
450 hp, six speed. Looked like the pic in the link.

Had a friend who had a 2002 Cayenne. Nice car, typical of Porsche.
His
only complaint was how quickly it wore out the OEM tires. Sticky and
gooey.

This afternoon I ran into a former sailor and now powerboater (18'
bowrider) who I see occasionally while walking our Springer Spaniel
at the park. She's an anesthesiologist who has dropped down to
part-time at a local hospital. Anyway, she has a Porsche Cayenne
with a diesel. Last time I saw her she told me a crazy tale of
leaving her auto at a local body mechanic's home to have a bit of
work and a paint job. (he also works doing same at a local
dealership) He got into a tuffle with an x girlfriend and while he
was away on vacation, the jealous woman went to his place and trashed
anything she could...including my friend's Cayenne. We didn't have a
chance to get into details but she said all was well with the vehicle
now. Her insurance company had sent out a tow truck to take immediate
possession of the vehicle to fix it up.

Could have been worse:

He proved his point.
