Default Want to Borrow: Cayenne

I thinking of buying a Cayenne for daily driver duties and the occasional tow. I'm wondering if someone has one they wouldn't mind lending for a few hours or a day. I want to get the feel of a bigger vehicle (DD is a BMW sedan) and see its day to day livability without the high pressure of an actual dealership test drive. I also want to see if fits in my garage with all the day to day crap I have in there.

I'm in no real rush. I could swap you my car for the day.

Make an appointment at the dealer for an "oil change" for the S2 and ask for a Pepper as a loaner. If you tell them you are considering buying one and want to see the feel, they will likely come up with one, if you're scheduling is flexible to allow for availability.

BTW, the YUPI (Is there still such a thing anymore?) thing now a day is a Jeep STR

My S2 is about to undergo more than just an oil change. But that's a good back up plan. Just looking for a little more of a low pressure "enthusiast" type loan.

Jeep STR8 has the center tail pipes, how do you tow with that?

I tow with a TOW vehicle. I don't need to ask/answer no stinking Jeep questions

Could always go to CarMax and tell them you want to test drive one for the day.

I could try, but I'm still in the eval stage. Not sure exactly what I want. Carmax in Sterling has a defined "test loop". I don't see them extending the range all the way to my house.
