BlackMK4 posted:I've been considering offering to buy my dad's 2016 Cayenne Diesel, but I don't know that I want to deal with maintaining the thing or paying what he will want. I'll look into the slightly older ones and their Audi family though. I don't know that a 2016 would have the towing capacity. The first gen Cayennes are the ones that were BUILT. This thing has a 2-speed transfer case and rear locker from the factory. This was the "must be able to run Transsyberia Rally in stock form" truck, which was their marketing/proving when these things came out. Wasabi the J posted:NGL I didn't imagine you drove a Porsche. None taken. Almost nobody uses these things the way they were meant except for me and like 2 other people I've come across. I get some looks dragging a dump trailer around with it. Also, I run sweep and close the stages/pull cars out of the woods at New England Forest Rally in this thing. Also, at this point I don't think there's a less expensive way to get 500 horsepower.

I liked heated seats because I prefer to have the cabin cool, and every female that rides with me (wife, coworker) prefer it quite a bit warmer so I put their seat warmer on in case they don't themselves and problem solved.

The Door Frame posted:My favorite is the mid 00's Police Crown Vic compared to the regular cab F150 with the same engine, transmission, and 3.55 rear axle. They're the same length, width, weight, the F150 has almost 1 extra inch of ground clearance and 5 extra in the wheelbase length, but they are almost the exact same car. One is rated for 1500lbs, and the other is rated for 7200lbs. I think it's related to the watts linkage on the crown vics, I don't know what it has to do with towing but that's the explanation I've heard before.

angryrobots posted:I'd bet the F150 has a lot more spring capacity though. The Raptor loses a lot of towing capacity too, due to its soft off-road suspension. That's pretty much it. Big ol' leaf springs versus a 5-link with coils. Also, note that the towing cap went down on the CV in '04 when they went to the revised suspension. Still bullshit, mind you, that it's as low as they say. It's still a full-framed V8 large sedan. A set of airbags (which some civilian CVs came with already...) should get you some pretty astounding towing capacity. Applebees Appetizer posted:I think it's related to the watts linkage on the crown vics, I don't know what it has to do with towing but that's the explanation I've heard before. Yeah, that's apparently what lowered it in '04. I just use mine for towing a Harbor Freight trailer anyway. The trailer should give out before I reach the limit of the car... And I like the heated seats in our Outback. I don't like being cold, and my 50-year-old back really appreciates the heat therapy.

Butt care is important yo. I drove a '95 Buick Century Special with an air vent that pointed straight towards the driver's crotch. The car was terrible but that one feature made up for a lot. Burgundy over burgundy fish fur/vinyl with a burgundy and brown dash. Burgundy spare tire cover in the burgundy carpeted trunk. The interior was spotless, perfect, mint. Driving in it felt so dirty though. Like you are in grandma's boudoir and why is that sticky!? It didn't have to smell like cigarette to feel like it smelled of cigarette. Ever sit on a chair that is canted ever so slightly forwards? The Buick is the pot and you are a frog. Escape. the. Buick. The cup holders were broken, too. I bought holders that fit in the window channel. Still feel a twinge of regret about that toll attendant's uniform.

The 958 series is rated for the same 7700lb of towing as the earlier 955 and 957 so there shouldn't be any issues there. The 955's certainly are beasts, just a shame they had the cylinder scoring issues on the NA V8's. I quite liked mine when I had it. Having the 15 diesel now, it's much improved in terms of interior layout and aesthetic, although they scaled back on the ruggedness compared to the first gen, assuming it was for weight/cost savings and that the target demo does not care. The sheet metal thickness on the first gen is just astounding, and as mentioned the low range and lockers are a pro feature if you use it as intended and not just mall crawling. The 958 has a similar selector switch for "off road" but I think it may just be a center diff lock, correct me if I'm wrong.

Olympic Mathlete posted:Why are some guys afraid of their own asses? Like Darchangel said (we have essentially the same car, down to the year and color, except mine is a base with only one option [autotragic], his is 1 step below the highest trim IIRC), I use my heated seats for my lower back (stupid physically demanding job). My rear end being warm is nice too, but I keep them on mostly for my back. Older Subaru seat heaters are also pretty drat weak, it takes a good bit to feel them - summer or winter. Give them 15 minutes and they do get nice and warm... Now if I could somehow tie in heated pedals... my feet are what hurt the most these days. Particularly my heels (hello bone spurs, kindly gently caress off). I'm already at the point where I'm considering a cane, and I'm only in my 40s.  I need to find a new foot doctor, mine insists there's no way I'm feeling the bone spurs (they're huge spots on xrays, and if I can't feel them, why the hell can I not put any weight on my heels without wanting to rip the head off of the nearest puppy? I'm hobbling around like someone in their 90s who worked in a mine their entire life)

'S what people buy, basically, though it could be argued that it's a chicken-egg problem. To be fair, the utility is actually there on crossovers - they're a tall wagon. I just don't understand why they're choosing to dilute the brand of a sports/muscle car with a CUV. It's like their marketing people have no idea what they're doing.

Because that's what people are buying, unfortunately. They make cars to make money, not any kind of political or social statement. In a few years, a new generation of buyers will be enamored of low slung road hugging sedans and crossovers and suvs will be Dad cars.

Bajaha posted:The 958 has a similar selector switch for "off road" but I think it may just be a center diff lock, correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah, center diff lock is "off road" on those. And the 2-speed transfer case was "unnecessary" because of the 8 speed transmission (bullshit). But yeah, the ruggedness on the first gens is just amazing. I've been beating the poo poo out of this thing both off road and towing and still use it as a daily driver. The most tragic thing about them is the old non-bluetooth nav/radio, which is easily swapped. There's really no target market large enough to justify the expense or the weight of all the poo poo on the 955s. Just glad I got my hands on a decent low mileage one when I did. I have no idea what I will replace it with when the time comes. It will probably end up being replaced by two different things....likely a pickup and a GT car.

How are maintenance costs on those? I just looked on FB Marketplace, and there's an '05 S with 165K miles for $5500. It's even a very pretty blue.

They have a few flaws but aren't all that bad on straight maintenance other than the turbo s models with PCCB (it's like $6k in parts for a front brake job). The things you need to look out for is the bore scoring on NA V8s as already mentioned ("Cayenne S"), you want the plastic coolant lines under the intake manifold replaced, as well as the coolant Ts if it's a turbo. This is just a known thing....they start leaking at 80k or so and are replaced with metal ones. This is a superior german plastics" problem, like the next: the loving SAI pumps. The fan blades shatter. So replace them before they do or plastic pieces end up going don the SAI tube to the vale on the back of the heads. It's a real pain in the rear end to get at. Other than that, it's just heavy, high power, high strung SUV maintenance. It's gonna need over two gallons of synthetic oil per change (and two sumps to drain lol), you're gonna use up tires, and at 15+ years old you're gonna have typical things going wrong or already in maintenance debt like hood and hatch shockjs and other piddly poo poo that ends up be surprisingly expensive if you're used to buying parts for like, hondas or fords. I do not recommend buying one unless you're willing and able to do your own work. That same advice applies to any 10+ year old formerly $120,000 or more vehicle.

I think this is a terrible car thing, but my car has a feature that I don't know how I'll live without; vents that bypass the HVAC system and draw unfiltered air in directly from the cowl It spits leaves, snow, and all kinds of debris into the car, but it keeps the car from getting too stuffy and provides a nice little breeze when it's too cold to not have the heat on. Also, the missus likes the car burning hot and I can use it to keep both of us comfortable on drives
