If you only do a few miles a week then probably ok but combined MPG is around 20 and around town or hoofing it is low teens - if you believe the owners rather than the Porsche blurb.
Cheap (relatively) for a reason - v. expensive to run and not rewarding to drive. Fine if you are a footie player and your GF wants a run around.
I would look to a Audi Q8 3.0l diesel and get it chipped, still quite a rare sight and a very nice 4x4

My folks had a 53 'S' from new, sold this year. I drove it a lot.
Engine failed with sub 30k miles on the clock, cost the price of a new supermini to sort.
Ride was dreadful. Quality wasn't fantastic, it rattled like a 10 year old Clio. Economy was awful, 14mpg generally. Looked hideous. Porsche servicing costs, tyres etc were eye watering. Image not good. Now looking very dated.
Other than that, it was great
Now been replaced with a new (whisper) Diesel version, which I do have to admit, is tonnes better in every area.

NO Q8 is a place we get shafted for the contents of our wallets
after some deliberating if decided against my rather spur of the moment idea, it seems my cars market value is much higher than the 04 porker, the interior was also looking rather shabby which is a bit of a shocker, its only done 55k and the leather was looking well done in. As i said it was spur of the moment, i pass the garage on the way to work and spotted it, big porker black with big *** turbo wheels, roof bars, side runners, tinted windows, and all the toys and i mean all the toys. Thankfully use have put my childish fantasies in there place, I know where i stand with my scoob, hell if even got a free service to collect from it, as for the porsche id hate for something to go wrong on it. so thats mind made up
till i pass a e46 m3
then I'll be back for more enlightenment
