They are all similarly priced but very different in age and size. Bear in mind that I live alone, have no children and the car I plan to trade is a 2011 Tribeca, these cars are specific ones I found with low mileage (less than 30k) but others options are appreciated!

The GLK is a 2011 model and has 230hp

Kinja'd!!!

The Cayenne is a 3.6 V6 with 290hp and 2008

Kinja'd!!!

The Sport is a 2.7 TDV6, only 190hp and also 2008

Kinja'd!!!

The Goblin looks exactly like this one, all black and Sport kit thingy, 2007 and the 4.2 V8 with 350hp.

The GLK looks horrible, the Cayenne will be a nightmare to service, no one should buy an RR Sport - get a Rangie with a proper split tailgate. That leaves the Audi.

When Miata is not the answer, 4runner+miata is.

Not when Miatas are rare and expensive where you live, like 20k.

Liftgate, not a tailgate, and it uses the ladder frame from the LR. Audi more modern unless you intend real off-road use. Then the Sport. In my humble opinion.

Little to none offloading, mostly for long trips and taking up precious room in the big city (evil laughter)

For me, the Audi, but if the Porsche is the better drive, why not?

Porsche maintenance scares me, there is also a wildcard but I won't mention it. Audi seems to be the better choice.

Q7 all the way, GLK looks like a bug with high heels. Porsche doesn't look good imo. Keep in mind that both the Q7 and Range use air suspension which can be costly if neglected. You can use replacement air suspension components from Arnotts air suspension when the time comes. They come with lifetime warranty or go with a coil conversion kit. I have used Arnotts with my W220 S class and W211 E55 and they produce top notch stuff.

My Citroen has Hydractive so I'm used to the expenses and worries that come from air suspension, the one I wanted the most was the Rangie even with the anemic engine, good gas mileage wouldn't hurt for once. But everybody seems do like the Q7 (I'm quite surprised)

Me too, but everybody seems to like the Goblin better.

What do you think about the Q7 TDI ? It doesn't seem to suffer from carbon build up and also has good fuel economy. IMO, the Q7 just looks so much better, while the range looks dated. Also, Audi electronics are good while the range not so much.

The maintenance will be similar, they both eat brakes and tires. I would avoid the 3.6 very problematic

I was under the impression the V6 was the most reliable of the Cayenne engines
