Default Need help from the forum... We need another 4 door, may or may not signal the end of the road

for the TT in the garage, but that's another story.

So I'm looking around and doing a little resarch and say to the wife "How about an A6?", thinking V8, 2005ish with sport package.

She says to let her think about it. Comes back in email "How about a Porsche Cayenne S?"

So, any thoughts? I thought the Porsche is based on the Toureg, but Consumer Reports rates the P car much higher than the VW.

I still like the A6, but my vote is a weak 49%.

To kick your BuTT to the street, but she'll look good in that Cayenne!....(J/K Case, Honest!)

You're gonna need more ad revenue and stickers for the shuttle..

Default oh boy....well, >>>>

if you think Audi's are expensive to maintain...jeebus!!!! That car will bury you....

Lots of problems in the first few years....crazy stuff too...almost all electrical....

It would need to be a post 2004 IMO....

Still like your first choice better! ;-)

Default Actually, she loves the TT, but the practical need is encroaching. Not that either of the cars I'm

looking at are totally practical.

You got any gouge on the Porsche?

Default Thanks Hans. Actually, the 2006 model checks out fine on reliability, but they are pricey.

I do know that the Turbo S is just ridiculous to maintain

Default I recently picked up an S6 and love it...

although it's my daily and not hers... When we look at a new one for her, she really likes the Q7, but there are some great deals on 05ish Cayenne's out there, and it's a dem fine machine.

Default yeah...that should be fine>>>.

With an 06 you may get the balance of the porsche factory warranty.....Strong suggestion would be to go for an extended warranty.......just a thought....

Default Save money, Make money....>>

LOL....

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/13940/elementyourad.jpg">

Though having 2 Hondas in the family may cause you both to snore more....:-)

Susan had this Little old lady hang-up driving the element (LOL...All you could see was her head, and she's not short!). She feels and acts sportier in the Mini, which may have some remote and semi related benefits for me in the long run....:-)

(The moral to that story is do what makes her happy....)
