I believe it shares it's platform with the VW Touareg and the Audi Q7,
Personally I put it in the bracket I put the BMW X3, X5 and the Mercedes ML as wet tarmac 4x4's, I may be wrong after all it is just my opinion.
Much to my dismay there is a X5 some where in the family and it gets stuck in the snow on level roads

I had a friend with a Cayenne S. The build quality was second to none and ity was seriously nice to drive and bloody quick. Only thing he couldn't get over was the extremely poor fuel economy. On a good day he managed to squeeze double figures out of it but generally it sat between 5 and 8 mpg. The reason they are so cheap is that apart from bad fuel economy the spares are also extremely expensive.

Nice cars and very similar inside to the Touareg in terms of interior space - would tie in with a common platform 
Not an off-road machine at all though.

Mt Dad had one 04 to 08. It was an 'S' model with air suspension and turbo wheels. The only thing that went wrong in 4 years was a rear window wire problem other than that it was trouble free. The last service (about 45k miles) cost an incredible £1440. Tyres and insurance are also costly but my Dad got a regular 17 miles to the gallon,( but my friend in the next village with a Turbo version got a regular 9 to 12).
Its the same old scenario, one time expensive car now cheap to buy, still same expense to run. You take your chance with a Porsche, without FPSH its not worth a lot.
If you buy I hope you enjoy,
