Running like a Swiss watch at 162000 miles!!!

2012 Porsche Cayenne Tiptronic 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
Bought my 2012 Cayenne base from a Porsche dealer 1 year ago with 150000 miles on it. Was very nervous about the mileage, however, all dealer records were available, it was a one owner, and every single required service interval was documented with the Porsche dealer. After 12000 miles, I can honestly say it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. No issues whatsoever so far. The build … quality is exceptional. No squeaks or rattles. Regularly gets 22 mpg with almost no oil consumption whatsoever. Cabin comfort is second to none. The 18 way adjustable leather seats cradle my torso perfectly. The headlights are truly remarkable with the ability to turn with the vehicle. Visibility is superb. Performance is exceptional and handling is predictable to the extreme. If you can find a well kept Cayenne, do not be afraid of the mileage. They are built to last.
Sleek, ultra comfort and a nasty growl

2012 Porsche Cayenne Tiptronic 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
I bought a CPO 2012 cayenne hybrid last dec 2014 with 44k umber metallic with 21 PZero summer tires. I avg 20 mpg. After 16 mos I have no problems to report. This is my first hybrid auto so it took a few weeks to get used to the way the hybrid system works. I have tried to push it and man the power this car has is awesome. The growl makes me smile. Great brakes and those 21 inch sleek … tires has amazing grip! Luxurious on the inside, supple leather and intuitive center console. I wake up every morning and open my garage to look at it and smile. I am pretty happy. The only cons I have is the depreciation I noticed after I bought the car, over 8k? That's after I looked at a few similar cars currently on sale. Poor nego skills on my part. Also First month my wife scratched the right front rims not once but twice! 5k tire pkg ouch! She will drive the audi from now on.
