we had a demo one when they came out new.

I was going to write that its dull as ditchwater but thats a little unfair. I just felt it was uninspiring.

All that torque comes with little rev-range.

Good quality car and build, It's just a bit anodyne.

But with 2 kids in child seats (Recaro's :-) ) & room for 2 others + driver is great car.
Loads in the boot, great for trips to France and impressive driving past stuck traffic on A23 in a foot of snow last year.

R Rover Sports looks cheap, X5 like a drug dealer, R Rover too dear and Q7 so so ugly
So little out there

Cayenne S or Turbo V good package.

And I like the looks before anyone says!

On the other hand...

Why not a C5 RS6 Avant!?!?

I think 2 RS6 Avants in the house is just plain greedy!

Also could not stand to see the state it would end up in with 2 kids in it every day, just too sad :cry:

Porker just looks to ugly to me although based on the VW
