Awkward-looking but thrilling behind the wheel, the Cayenne is a thoroughly capable vehicle that makes good on its Porsche nameplate.
Pros
Sports car performance, available adjustable ride height and suspension damping control, solid off-road capability and towing capacity, slightly more cargo room than a Range Rover.
Cons
Can't match the Rover in the dirt, annoying turbo lag on top end model, you have to pay a little extra for the name.
