Looking to get a 2011 Cayenne Turbo as a DD, having a hard time finding sources on what are some of the common problems with these cars/early build years (ie coolant pipes on the 955 and 957 Cayenne). Any help or suggestions on what to look for?

 

My wife and I both have 2011 Cayenne Turbos. One with 20,000 miles and one with 12,000 miles. No problems with either.

 

Thanks. I've been searching, found some info on bad PCM's and some electronic gremlins, but nothing too serious. About to pull the trigger on a 2011 turbo and just wanted to be sure I wasn't in for a special treat!

 

Have a 2011 launch turbo with 40K miles. No major issues.

 

I am also getting ready to purchase a 2011 CTT w/ 40k miles (CPO).

Curious if there are any more comments/insights to the OPs question above.

Secondly, the spec sheet also indicates the CTT is a "launch vehicle" that cost $0 as an option. Is there anything special about launch vehicles other than the obvious?

 

Launch edition is usually the first vehicles off the assembly line given to the dealers for particular model to be shown, demo'd, test driven etc.... A lot of launch vehicles never are given the normal "launch" duties and is sold right away.

PCM issues are always fixed with updates. Nothing out of the ordinary there...

 

3 months into ownership, my only advice is to make sure you have a warranty. Replaced a few parts already and would have cost $5-6k if not for warranty...

 

What were some of these issues?

 

20 000 flawless miles so far
With the first 4000 on no speed limit German highways,driven full blast from day one
Amazing reliability
Guess i got one of the good ones and broke it in right

 

Just picked my 2011 CPO Cayenne turbo with 30k miles, from a Porsche dealer near Chicago yesterday...

I had them remove the Turbo II wheels/tires and install my 20" winters so i could drive home to Minnesota! With all the added weight of the extra set of wheels/tires in the backend, it no doubt changed the driving characteristics of the drive even when in 'comfort mode'.

 

Beautiful- congratulations! You will love it. Absolutely incredible vehicle to drive.
