Hey folks,

I am an Audi S5 owner and quite enjoy the car, but I’ve been toying with the idea of moving into a Porsche.

I love the power of the S5 (it’s chipped) but am partial to SUVs (i like the visibility of being up higher) and I don’t much care for the looks of the SQ5 and the SQ8 is overpriced.

I am looking at the Cayenne - a CPO. I typically buy cars that are a couple of years old and which already took the depreciation hit, but are also low miles.

Anything I should know? Opt for maintenance package? I think extended warranty is a good idea given the complexity of these vehicles (Audi, MB, Porsche)?

I guess my main concern is reliability, followed by comfort, power and a quiet cabin.

TIA!

    I think you’ll have to test drive them. One man’s pain is another’s pleasure when it comes to car suspensions. 😊

    My daughter’s doesn’t have PASM but I suppose that’s available. That would be ideal but of course adds complexity to go wrong.

    The Macan is often referred to in the press as being Porsche’s sporty SUV. My daughter loves her Macan S and I can attest to it feeling very much like a Porsche. And we regularly fit 4 people in it with ample room in back for my 6’ frame. That said the seat bolsters are a bit short in back so not the best for long hauls, but around town it’s fine.
