Beautiful Cayenne — I love how fast my Cayenne is. Extremely comfortable to drive anywhere. Love the Porsche engine. Can travel with lots of baggage. This is truly a family car. Does drink gas but well worth it. Rarely in the shop but can be expensive.

Nice To Have :) — I really like my Prosche, at last it is a Porsche ! Great power and acceleration, durable brakes, however unbeleivable fuel consuption 20 l/100 km. I am happy with the overall performance. Not happy about the so computer controlled driving.

Very Happy With My Cayenne! — Everything but mileage is good on cayenne. i love the power it has at lower speeds and at high speeds also. Sound system is very good. Lots of space for carting around things and picking up miscellaneous things that won't fit in a car....

Pros

Fast and people notice you in this car. Lots of room for kids in the back and it tows more than a full size pick up.

Cons

Very thirsty and it likes premium to quench it. If in auto it feels like the turbo lag is bad.

Fast & Fun Porsche — I like the adjustable ride height and the interior trim the best for this car over others I looked at in the past. I also like the ambient lighting in the cockpit of the car. I do not like the mileage all the time, but it is still okay considering it weights 5.2K.

Pros

Sports car feel with the room and ability of an SUV.  I've owned a hummer and 4Runner and nothing comes close to the off road ability of a Porsche!

Cons

maintenance is more costly than other cars but the reliability is second to none!

Totally Awesome Suv — This car looks awesome, a real head turner! If you can't afford a new Porsche than this is the car for you! Room enough for 4 and can go anywhere you want. Just took it to Colorado and it handled the snow like a Subaru and looked better doing it. This SUV can beat most sports cars off the line coming home from grocery shopping.

Power — If you like to drive with class,this is the car for you. Get used to being admired by other drivers on the road. Prestine condition, car was made to handle the road and equipped with trip tonic transmission for a faster pick me up.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Best Vehicle I've Ever Owned — Still the best looking SUV out there...many attempts to copy...never attained. A blast to drive coupled with 23.6mpg and surprisingly reliable. Handles incredibly well for a heavy SUV, especially in the snow. Can't beat the sound upon acceleration!

Great Car But Can Be Better — When this car fist came out i thought it was the worst mistake in porsche history but it is actually a great and fun car to own. the best part is that the car is almost 7 years old and hasn't asked for any major repairs. the only down side is the small engine.

Fast, comfortable, big fuel tank will last you 3-400miles

Cons

Very few - its not the most fuel economic.

Great Suv — This was my first Cayenne. Bought it in 2006 as Certified Pre-owned with 30k miles, and traded it in in 2010 with 63k miles. This V8 is quick and comfortable. II'm glad I had teh 4 year/50k miles warrantee - it took a couple of months to get some steering and suspension issues sorted out - but it was all done free of charge.
