2003-2007 V-8 Cayennes have high maintenance costs beyond 986's.
V-6 are pretty reliable & original base MSRP was $42,K
2008 & newer Cayennes are relatively troublefree. 2008 touchscreen is difficult to navigate around, 2009+ much better design.
03-07 V-8 main issues are plastic coolants tubes under the intake manifolds leak, requiring aluminum tube update. Driveshaft support bearings fail & numerous electrical problems.
Top reasons I have not considered a Cayenne: AWD is standard & useless to me.
Macan is due out at the end of the year & I assume it will be available in 2wd.
