We (my wife) tow/drive it (CS) everywhere. It really is about needs... I towed with a Tahoe & my wife would not drive it. When was time to replace her car (outback) she said lets get a BMW X3 to tow with. Then I need to explain that it could not handle the trailer/car weight... It need to be the X5... Which she hated. Luck would have it that the local BMW dealer also is the Porsche dealer. She walked up to the CS an screamed I love it! 2 days later it was in the driveway. Now she drives it everywhere and has not stopped giggling... There must be some sorta giggle button in the drivers seat (my father keeps saying that). After 4 famiy trips this year (each with 1 way travel times of at least 10 hrs) we will buy another. It is not a FULL SIZE truck nor is it a car... It is a balance that can meet specific needs.

No, sorry, the Cayenne is officially referred to as P!g here on RL.

Exclamation Unacceptable!

It is a Pepper, was a Pepper, and will always be a Pepper.

I have an 03 X5 4.4 ... but thinking of going to a CGTS or CTT ... does anyone have great experience with the X5 vs the Cayenne to speak to how they compare? Thks.

That question has been asked many times before, and as hard as it might be to imagine, it always comes down to 'The Cayenne is better'...go figure.

just drove MY05 S a total of 16 hours drive, 1,000 miles on a 3 day weekend outing. very comfy and my wife and 2 year did not complain at all. power is great and handling is superb! i've only had it not even a month and i love it! i noticed though that the steering wheel vibrates a little when going from 73-80. kind of annoying when i had to put it on cruise control. also when i turn fast, i get check low dipped beam error.

we had the same low dipped beam error & the dealer had to rest the system. It has never returned. The vibrations were present as well... turned out to be a poorly balanced wheel on the front.

Not at all happy with it. Granted that I may have a lemon, but PCNA says everything is normal and within spec. If so, it's one of the noisiest and strangest acting car I've owned. The V6 Service Loaner I had drove better with a smoother drive train than mine.

P!g's a piece of crap.

Most of us just have a sick love affair with it. Except Larry...
