  2. From my experience of past ownership of Cayenne Turbo for two years, please look into below items: Turbo is too fun to drive than V8 or GTS. Turbo shouldn't have too long lag before hitting hard the throttle, anything more than 1 sec lag is bad. For air suspension: Start the car with windows down and AC off, you should be hearing an air compressor prime from front passenger side (outside) that should stop within 10-20 secs max. If that lasts longer over 30 secs means weak compressor. Wait in parking with car started and if air compressor kicks in again then suspension is loosing air and need some air bag replacement shortly. Lift the car with air suspension setting up and down and then see how fast compressors work and stop. Under 1-2 minutes is good. Once you buy Cayenne, don't play with height control too often and just set at low setting perfect for highways and cargo usage. Playing with height too much cause additional wear on whole suspension system and you will require some parts change more often. Never drive any Porsche less than quarter tank, as they have super sensitive fuel system that get check engine light with slightest of sedimentation. All Cayenne models prior to 2012 had a weird coolant tubes made out of plastic that runs near the engine and breaks due to heat. It's a GCC car recall that has been fixed by dealer at no cost. Porsche designed these plastic tubes to run close to engine to retain engine heat for long in colder countries. Check if that has been done with dealer in past or not. If not then you might be paying for that big job that require half engine compartment opening (due to weird design) and replacing those plastic to metal tubes (cost 4500 AED for parts only). Open the boot and see if lift gate opens nicely or gets sluggish and open half way and require push to move up. This will need 4 shocks replacement (2 x glass shock + 2 x lift gate shocks) cost around 2000 AED. Cayenne is notoriously smooth in acceleration so set in dash alarm at 118 km/h to ping and alert you. Trust me you will save on HUGE speed fines this way. Cayenne turbo fuel mileage: Gradma driving 14 L/100, Normal drive 16 L/100, kicking turbo occasionally full gas 19-20 L/100, Hitting hard on every start 22-25 L/100. I have tried all styles and have records in fuelly app. Good luck with any Cayenne you pick, it will bring big smile on your face every morning you drive. I moved from Range to Porsche so didn't like Porsche in comfort as much as Range, but apart from that it's highly reliable, dependable and great performing SUV with not to mention with expensive service at Al nabooda for minor 2500 AED and Major close to 8-10k AED.
