Here's How My 15-Year-Old Porsche Cayenne Held Up To 10,000 Miles Of Driving In 16 Days - Jalopnik

A 15-year-old Porsche Cayenne Diesel carried its owner through the 2026 Alcan 5000 rally run across Canada and Alaska, covering 10,000 miles in 16 days. The trip was set up after an entry signed in November 2025, before diesel prices surged from $3.82 a gallon to $6.50, a cost spike the writer said hit their wallet hard. While acknowledging the toll of long distance on people and the risk for an older German luxury SUV with six-figure mileage, the author reports no expensive tow was needed. Repairs were limited to addressing minor issues, punctured tires, and a leaky hose.
