Redline me on porsches /o/.
Specifically a used Cayenne S. I'm considering getting one in the future. I hear the newer ones only have 4 cyl. turbo instead of the 6 cylinder porsche is known for though.

If you don't like them what would you get instead that was at least as luxurious with similar or better performance and looks?

Fuck me. I meant Cayman. I don't know why I typed Cayenne.

Caymans are pretty damn fantastic, although a bit down on power so they don't intrude on the 911's territory.
Maintenance-wise they're far from bad, Porsche has a great track record when it comes to reliability and you can do most things yourself, on older ones at least.
Parts aren't gonna be shitbox-tier cheap obviously, they take a lot of oil so oil changes are fairly costly, and if you take them to a shop (or god forbid the stealership) be prepared to pay out the ass since these are still high-end German cars.

Thanks for the input. It's good to hear that it won't be needing extensive and expensive service every thousand miles. I'd do all the work I could myself and it doesn't look that bad now that I see it without the upholstered engine cover on.
>Caymans are pretty damn fantastic, although a bit down on power
This part is concerning to me to be honest. Even used they aren't too cheap and at barely over 300 hp it really doesn't seem impressive. Speed isn't everything of course but when you're paying that much it's a tad underwhelming with the numbers other cars are doing nowadays.

It's pretty common for people with early Boxsters/Caymans to swap in a 911 engine. It's a relatively straightforward swap, and a great upgrade if you've suffered from the infamous IMS bearing failure (on M96 and M97 engines).
