If you're thinking about getting a new one (purchase not lease), I'd suggest you get a used Cayenne Turbo instead..... the power is like heaven and earth. Plus almost all options in Cayenne / Cayenne S are standard in turbo like air suspension, memory seat, etc. And I think turbo got bigger brakes also. You could get an '04 turbo for around $65K-70K now.

Handling is amazingly good if you have air suspension. I felt confident tossing it around. Acceleration is OK..... wouldn't believe that it has 300+ hp, though, unless you read it on paper. I think it's slightly faster than E350/320..... the turbo is felt to be as fast as C32 or even W210 E55.

Brake is good.... I always like Porsche brake.....

Rule of thumb.... don't consider the V6 engine.... I see it too slow and only for people who just want the brand (sorry for those who have Cayenne ). And get the S only when you couldn't afford the turbo even the used one.

Couple cosmetic issues that lots of people experience but not with mine.... rattles, remote keys and some leak in front and rear lights.

Following the crowd.... I just purchased a C55.... so far don't feel different power from my W210 E55.... we'll see..... road noise is worse (could be the tires? ).

Anyways..... thanks for all inputs....
