Why would someone want to buy a car that needed frequent, expensive repairs?

My husband was looking for an SUV and i suggested a used cayenne because they look fun to drive. Then i did about 4 minute of google research and saw that if you buy a few year old cayenne, it could be on its 4th-6th owner because it seems to take the average owner about a year to get fed up with all the service and maintenance issues. That was a quick and easy NO for me...

I grew up in a house just like this in another country.

How will that work? Do you mean an outdoors heater? I think a swing and some comfortable seating, some hanging baskets are plenty.

Porsches are generally premium priced in terms of the car itself, options, and repair costs. However, they have also been some of the most reliable cars on the road. I myself have never been moved to own a Porsche because I don't like the brand image, and they are just too common. However, I would certainly not be concerned at all about the reliability and would not hesitate to buy one if they magically made a car that is to my liking.

I will say that I was almost seriously looking at a Macan GTS. Almost. The interior is what drove me away - miles of black and beige everywhere. Sure you can opt for the exotic red-colored leather, but that's a bit too extreme. There is nothing in the middle.

Agree. One with electricity and a ceiling fan is also nice.
