Early Cayenne Ownership - Yes or No?

[@996Revival]

I had a base 957 when they came out; loved it. Had a 957 turbo and sold it when I couldn’t get cats for it and registration was coming up. Had my FAVORITE SUV OF ALL TIME: 957 turbo S. LOVED it. Then it got t-boned and totaled.

Have been thinking about one of these but convinced now its had the AutoHaus tick of approval. Awesome video!

I'm from New Zealand and just bought a 2009 (957) 3.0L TDI. It's a non air suspension model which is what I wanted. It has a GTS interior, sport design exterior and 20 inch Sport Techno Twist alloys.

Simply awesome video! Just subscribed :) My beloved 9PA.2 is a 3lt TD diesel. I also have two locked 80 series (wagon and ute) and a WK diesel Grand Cherokee. The off-road ability of the Cayenne is light years ahead of the (50mm lift and tyre'd) Jeep, no not an 80 (a truck) but these cars are the consummate Swiss army knife. Sensational on road, yet well above the pack off road. Aisin automatic, proper low range gearing amazing ground clearance, great fuel economy, super comfortable, quality leather and strong. Not a creak or groan when lofting wheels. Low range provides a very aggressive wheel slip algorithm. Simply a wonderful car.

Thanks for the comment and for stopping by, David. It sounds like you're having loads of fun!

I own the 4.8 S, much more exiting than the 3.0 Diesel but the fuel economy isn’t very good.

A one piece rear drive shaft is a good upgrade for any cayenne. That center bearing is gonna fail

[@saudomar0102]

Am really tempted to by a cayenne s put some beefy tyres on it and make it my daily iam just afraid it might cost a fortune 🤔

Likewise, need to jump on forums to work out if it's a feasonable proposition.

Never worked on a 955/957, however I have a 958 and Py0 so far maintaining them is pretty easy and straightforward, mostly plug and play for the majority of typical repairs.
