Mileage is not be considered if you want to buy one..
Doesn't feel like a SUV, beautiful sound and
performance.. Its a little expensive but if you are
driving it what the heck.. Both interior and exterior
styling are neat and sporty..

Pros — Power and feel

Cons — Suspension is a little hard

Interior- not so impressive... not as comfy as other BMW's or Mercs. Actually it's a bit cramped from the back (for a full-size SUV) but there's lots of boot space.
Exterior- It's very agressive from the front but from the back it's ugly... overall exterior I don't like.
Handling- the drvie's good
Performance- It's high on petrol, don't service it and it will be no more (trust me... i've gone thru it)
Overall impression- Of course, it's a Porsche... and the sales are high... so who am I to say anything??

Pros — The fact that it's a Porsche.
Mediocre Interior.
I like the gearbox and the two holders on it's side.
Looks good from the front
Good and smooth drive.
Agile SUV (though not for the desert)
I like the steering wheel.
It's available in many options (adaptive headlights etc...)
The front's beautiful

Cons — A little cramped for a full-size SUV
X5 takes the cake
Sometimes delicate (when u dont take it to service!).
Not reliable enough.
Ugly from the back

After a few weeks with this car I can say that this is the best SUV by far. People who always talk about BMW X5 and its road capabilities should drive one of these. It's a completely different league than any SUV. Yes I was shocked when Porsche introduced an SUV, but then I drove one, and completely changed my mind. Performance combined with handling make this car genuine Porsche. It's not the best looking car, but who cares?!
If you're buying one don't get the 3.6 V6, that's just an engine from VW, which makes it only a Touareg in a nicer package, and that totally kills the "magic" of this car. If you have some extra cash to spend go for the GTS (it looks fabulous in the nordic gold) but GTS package kills the off road capabilities, which some people may wanna use. If you want something special go for the Turbo S, don't get the Turbo. The price difference isn't huge and for that little extra you get the most powerful Porsche on the market. But if you want to use it every day, the S is the best combination of fun and rationality.

Pros — Amazing naturally aspirated V8 engine, very quick, PDCC makes it handle like a sport saloon (very similar to Audi S6).

Cons — Fuel consumption (but you cannot buy a car like this and then complain that it likes to "eat" a lot.)
