I have an 11 Cayenne S, and regularly get panamera V6 Loaners from the dealer when I have svc etc. The V8 Cayenne is more fun and comfortable to drive that the V6PDK panamera. This ofcourse is my opinion. The V6 with PDK is very jerky and it feels like the PDK is working overtime to make the V6 feel powerful. Now that being said, I prefer the Panamera V8 over the Cayenne V8 all day long.

 

Thank you every one i really appreciate ur advice. the problem with the panamera v6 i would have to take it totally striped to get it into my 80 grand budget , and as for the issue with practicality i live alone in california, and just started college so practicality isn't high on my list.
Thanks !

 

I had lots of problems in college, but trying to decide between a Cayenne or Panamera surely wasn't one of them but I sure wish it was.

For College... Go with the Cayenne!
Having graduated college not too long ago, an SUV makes way more sense.

 

Got to agree with you there, you can easily fit 3 naked women and a pony keg in the Cayenne.

Cayenne it is!!!

Just starting college huh? Who is your daddy and what does he doooo??!!

 

What is this? MTV's Sweet 16? For anything before you graduate college, a Porsche looks like you are trying too hard to be cool, dad is paying your way, or both. Get an Audi sedan or Range Rover Sport, if you need an SUV. You'll stay below 80k with either and both are plenty nice for your changing tastes through college. Post graduation is the time for a Porsche.
Just my $.02 - not that anyone asked for it.

 

If really pushed - i'll take the cayenne turbo..
