i'm just curious... now that you've towed with the Cayenne a bit more, what do you think of it compared to the full size SUV's you were using before?

Its NA. Just plan on taking it to Zdayz and driving it to work once or twice a month when the weather is nice.

It tows MUCH better than either the expedition or tahoe. Going up and over hills on the highway with the cruise set to 82mph, you barely even notice it downshifting to 7th gear and it just hold the speed rock steady. Diesel FTW! I've got 6 9 hour plus days towing with it, plus a couple 7 hour days and you never feel tired at the end of the day.

Do they have a good life or break all the time like some German cars?

^ There's nothing wrong with German cars, no more so than any car. Cars are way too complicated to hope for perfection, but some are better-engineered than others.

Other than the radio randomly going to full volume for no reason 3 different times, we've had no problems in the first 23000 miles.

Also, aside from the fuel pump in my wife's Z4 going out right after we got it, it too has been trouble free for 4 years now.
