I have a 996 c2 real nice car although up for sale at present.
Also a jeep grand cherokee and a jaguar sovereign and i truly love all of them but in different ways....bit like women really!!!
Anyway i would like to get down to just one car for a host of reasons.
I love the 996 the most really as they are good all rounders but no good for going down to tha tip with a load of garden rubbish or buying that new bed from ikea....but the jeep does all that and wafts me round in relative luxury, even at only 12 mpg.
Then i thought about a cayenne......4x4 still and can pack it out when required and all in luxury and .....i still have a PORSCHE.
Ok i know a lot of you wont like them but if anyone has any good advice ie 4.5 or 3.2 engine....turbo out of the question.
Would be looking at about a 54 / 55 plte model with all the bells and whistles hopefully
Once again all knowledge gratefully received.
On another quick note i have loaned a pals xjr 4.2 supercharged jaguar to try out for a couple of days and that surely moves for a 4 seater saloon and what value for money, nice cars.

Why is turbo out the question, the petrol is not too disimilar to the Cayenne S.

Cayenne....as you say,you will still have a Porsche.More than that though,you would still have a car that seems to fill all of your requirements,comfort,quick,space,winter use etc etc.Agree with comment above also,why not a Turbo? Very similar MPG anyway,fixed price servicing but you will get more spec as standard and a big WHOOSH!!!!!!!!

Having had the Turbo, I have to say go Turbo. You will be stunned the performance of such a large and heavy vehicle.
I had a lot of problems with mine but it was an 03 model, Porsche have ironed out the problems now.
