I’m sort of in-between. We’ve had some electronic gremlins (blue-screen of PCM; “forgetting” of radio Favorites; weird hill-hold feature that refused to let go of hold until we shifted into Park, then drive). But overall the car feels like a chunk of granite. It drives with great substantiality, to use a goofy but appropriate word.

I have posted elsewhere that we have been almost exclusively Japanese for two decades — Infiniti, Honda, Mazda, Acura. Our experience is those cars never break; rarely have glitches; and visit that dealerahip for unplanned maintenance once in a blue moon. In short, we’ve gotten spoiled.

That being said, our beloved 2016 Chevy SS is in the shop for a silent recall on the piston rings. Didn’t even know there was a problem until our service adviser told me about it during a routine oil change. And my wife’s boss has a new Cadillac XT5 that puked coolant all over her garage floor just TWO DAYS IN to ownership, and required a flatbed to the dealer.

Quality is relative nowadays. If our Turbo has only minor electronic gremlins that can be fixed over time with firmware updates and the like, I can deal with that. Anything more will result in us bring one-time customers.

And interestingly, the Q7s we test-drive felt flimsy and soft compared with the Cayenne.

The 958 Cayenne has an inordinate amount of Chinezium components, compared to my 955 Turbo.
