Congratulations Mark. The Porsche Cayenne is one of their best models. And the Vr6? Very reliable engine. Enjoy it. You will like it.

I have a 2014 Cayenne GTS with the 4.8 liter NA V8 it has been really good yes its expensive maintenance but nothing major has gone wrong its a great vehicle. They had bad transfer cases so I change the fluid often twice a year to be extra vigilant its cheap and easy to do myself so it always has fresh clean fluid either Liqui Moly or Ravenol fluid. Yours has the 10 year extended warranty still mine does not.

Sitting in a Cayenne feels like your in a cockpit they did a great job with the interior in my opinion. It seems like a lot of buttons at 1st but once you get used to it any know where everything is its really not. My 2014 Cayenne interior has held up amazing its still like brand new !

Good video. I roll in a 2011 Panamera 4, 2009 328i convertible and 2012 VW Touareg TDI. Buttons galore. Solid and run like sewing machines

Very interesting, you never talk about the Cayenne and I've asked numerous times............and now you go buy one!!, I'm blown away. I'd love to have a Cayenne, a newer one though, but was never really sure whether they were reliable enough over my 2021 RX350. So now I'll listen to what you have to say about your 2018 Cayenne.
