I was given a 6 cylinder Cayenne as loaner a few years ago. Appeared to have the standard seats also. Car was anemic to drive to say the least and the seats very uncomfortable.

Palm,

You have to test drive it. Lee is a good guy, no pressure at all. gives you an expresso and chats before the fun of driving.

Enjoy.

Lee sold me my Cayenne Diesel. Excellent guy in all respects. Talked me out of options I thought I wanted. He was right.

Yah I had a 2009 6 cylinder and it was crap, then I got a 2012 6 cylinder and I noticed it had a sport button. It actually felt much better then the 09 and the sport button was a real improvement. Then I got switched the a new Audi Q5. Its a lot more peppy then both but no sport button. Handling was better in the Porsches though but the electronics in the Q5 is a lot more up to date. I think the 6 Cylinder is on par gas consumption wise with the Q5 but it has a larger gas tank which makes for longer times between fill ups.
Can't wait till I get my 2005 Turbo back from the body shop. I miss the power but I wish it had the sport button like the 2012 had.

I was chatting with a colleague who lives where I am commuting to for work and, I should note he is a very smart man and a car guy, he told me he thinks it will be impossible to commute around here in my car during the winter. Says I need a vehicle with lots of ground clearance and all wheel drive because the roads don't usually get plowed for days and I will have to drive on deep snow daily. Says it won't be a handful of days but will be a regular occurrence. I Really love my car but damn...this concerns me.

Then either a UTV with tracks or a snowmobile. If you can't make it to the office, neither will the clients.

Rear ended at a stop light. Didn't look too bad but when we got the it back from the body shop it was undrivable, they said it was ignition coils and not part of the accident. Which we were not having any issues with at the time on the accident. Then all of a sudden its a problem after the body shop had it for a month. So we paid to have them replaced and now they are saying there is a broken drive shaft. Now were waiting for the insurance to cover the broken drive shaft.

Default +1 for Touareg TDI

Buy a 2010 Touareg TDi for way under $30k and put snows on it. Unstoppable in any weather. Enjoy
