Boom! — Awesome ride with unlimited power but really poor gas mileage. All blacked out...panoramic moonroof...very comfortable and supportive seating all around. Front and back stainless steel skid plates....awesome Bose stereo...new Escort Passport 9500ci radar/laser system professionally installed!

Oil Change Every 15k miles, Brakes every 45k Miles

To be honest I don't see any negative I love the Cayenne. However, it is small for a family of 5

The Perfect Dream Suv — The appearance is extremely exceptional. Also, it feels great to see and feel how well this SUV drives. The performance and power response for this cayenne is perfect to speed up fast like a race car. Not blind spots, the maintenance is not cheap, but it does not need it often. Oil change every 15k miles , Brakes could be every 45k miles and repair could be very expensive , but again Cayennes are build up solid that it won't need anything, but a driver.

Awesome Suv, Just Have Your Gas Money Ready. — This car definitely catches looks as you drive. The GTS has the body kit and rims of the Turbo/Turbo S...so the look is definitely there. You are just coming in at a much lower price (and power!). I was a little surprised that the rear seats didn't offer more room. I am 6'3" and the passenger sitting behind me is not exactly blessed with legroom. With the multiple ride heights, via air suspension, and the multiple dampening settings the GTS will give you as cushy or stiff a ride as you could want. The sound of the exhaust in Sport mode (electronic muffling valve opens) is bordering on aggresive, which I love!

I got a good deal but it didn't have PCM.. and Porsche charges way too much for the PCM options..

The Best Of Both Worlds. — It's the best compromise for someone who loves to drive a sports car but needs to carry two little ones in the snowy great white north. the PASM air suspension and PDCC chassis control makes the car amazing to handle despite the size. And the V8 produces amazing sound and strong output. love it.. Can't live without a Porsche.

The Car I Had The More Fun With — this used to be my dads car, that thing is fast, its the perfect balance for performance and beauty, the cayenne turbo s could burnout on any surface with all four wheels, but the car costs waaayy too much on gas.

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

The Cayenne — The car is magnificent. its engine is great wonder how the turbo would be. The acceleration in normal mode is fine but in the sport mode is breath taking. To cope with the acceleration the breaks are efficient. As a typical German car the build quality is high standard and luxury is surrounding you.
