Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I really hated these cars when the original Cayenne was released, from an aesthetic point of view if nothing else, but now view them almost as a modern 928 on stilts and they look like a much safer buy than an l405 FFRR!! What are these like to run? It wouldn't be a daily, more a high days and holidays weekend Swiss army knife car, dogs and bikes and overnight stays away. Reliable enough? Does the engine still have the cooling pipe problem? Any other issues to be aware of?
I know these were 250kg lighter than the older model which must make a difference to the drkve and fuel, but how bad is the economy? Sub 20mpg everywhere or do long trips achieve mid twenties staying off the fun pedal. I just adore the perceived mechanical integrity of these machines and I'm not THAT bothered about mpg but there is no point having something that will return 14mpg everywhere all the time. I have a friend with a 5.0sc FFRR and he can actually get up to high twenties on long, easy runs with the cruise on and staying well within the limits. Is the Porsche similar or does its presumeably higher state of tune being n/a really cost at the pumps?
I know, I know, not the kind of car to buy if you're concerned about fuel but a weekend toy must still be kinda useable!!
Also interested in the answer to this Q , i'm trying to man maths my way out of my 955 .
With the newer 4.8, 8 speed box, and no transfer case it should be a bit more efficient than my 4.5.
Loved mine and probably the car I miss the most. When the C63 goes, I’ll get another.
Transfer case was fixed by Silverstone OPC feee of charge and apart from that, it was faultless.
Fantastic cars, smooth and very fast. Amazing how something so heavy can accelerate and take bends with ease.
Around town I get 18-20mpg, on a long motorway run I can get 30mpg.
Get one with a good spec, mine was £100k new still have original receipt.
I'd believe that these would be able to do nearly 30mpg on a steady motorway run. Worst case would be bit better than the car I had, which was a 1st gen facelift with the 4.8 V8 and had 110k miles when I bought it.
It did say 24mpg at 75-80mpg fully laden, so probably 3 ton of vehicle weight... Down around 21mpg at 90mph on autoroutes. In winter doing very short trips around town - 11mpg!
