40d.  No hesitation.

Hesitation is the term here.

I had a Cayenne as a loaner a while back, it misses a turbo. Slowing down at roundabouts leaves it completely powerless when trying to pull away again.

The 40d with the double turbo is a much, much nicer drive.

Cayenne S is the V8 diesel so you won't get any hesitation wth that one bags of power and torque.

To the OP if you are an old man like the two that have replied so far then get the X5. If you appreciate Your driving then get the cayenne. It is a far better, more engaging drive.

The current X5 has totally lost its way as a drivers car.

Indeed ...

Just realised that you were really tight and didn't pay for the coloured crests on the wheels !!

I won't even mention the fact that your brake calipers are the wrong colour....

Why isn't my birthday present on display too!?

The crests should be black on this car, the coloured ones are wrong ....
