Check out a diesel and your eyes will open. I know quite a few people who own the gas version and when they get a drive in the diesel they are shocked by the massive difference. Lent a neighbour it when his gas sporadically died (injector issue) and he was amazed. Also the diesel is turbo(small) = FUN. :mrgreen:

It ain't no GTR but it pulls excellent for what it is, plus there's room for improvement and I leave mine in D the trip box is ehh at best,would love a manual.

After the marriage between chassis and engine only then it splits into 2 lines for branding...

This.

As the flyer posted says. They have sale right now. I got a call from a rep who tried to make it sound like only existing n&m customers getting the discount lol

poor imho,
friend has a cayenne turbo, much more comfy ride yet handling as would be expected.

I suspect they just make them stiff as the easy way out.

true...the sportage/tucson were designed to be cheap and carve a new niche in the market..which they did...cayenne turbo is on another level...iz like mediocre doubles compared to a buffet of ribs, caviar, lobster...btw i in love with the macan right now
