Is the Cayene AWD based on the Carerra 4S.

How does the Cayene handle in the snow???

My 2004 had lots of bugs in it straight off the lot. It was a furstrating first 6 months going back and forth to the dealership to get things sorted out. However, once they all got sorted (nothing major) it's been a pretty flawless vehicle.

I find the Cayenne's to be pretty amazing vehicles. They handle as well as nearly any sports sedan out there and have excellent acceleration in the V8 models (even the newer V6's will scoot pretty well) and they have massive towing capacity for a smallish SUV.

They do really well in the snow provided you have a descent tire on them.....that's really the key to any snow stuff....tires. Put summer tires on them and they won't do squat even with the 4wd.

Thanks! I see a lot of Cayenes for sale so I was wondering about reliability...

Sounds like the 2005+ models are the best.

Thanks again.
