NOT an early Cayenne like that. Mind-bending electrical problems with the 2004's, go 2006 and up only to be safe.

I think both of those vehicles are not that reliable particularly on those year models..

I would get whichever I loved best. I'm really not a fan of the previous X5 body design so looks alone would go to the Cayenne in my opinion. I'm pretty sure the 4.8 is quite a drive though. Are you only looking at those two? FX45s should be considered as well..great suvs.

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
this is for the wife? hmmm.... I would go Cayenne, just based on looks and her telling her friends , "I drive a Porsche".
I mean, it won't suck as far as the way it drives, yes?

I will repeat again, simply because my conscience compels me to.
Do not buy a 2004 Cayenne.
Many of them have electrical problems that would give God diarrhea.

FX45. For the cost of a 2004 Cayenne you can probably get a 2006-07 FX45 with the newer interior.
I would really, really, REALLY encourage you to look at an Infiniti. There are FXs with 200,000 miles on them and going strong. And the owners didn't have to sell a kidney to service it.

^553 foot pounds of torque. I've driven the cayenne, 4.6iS, (not 4.8iS) and when I got into a 04 touareg V10, my face turned white. I absolutely fell in love with the vehicle.
