Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Sports car performance, available adjustable ride height and suspension damping control, slightly more cargo room than a Range Rover.

Cons

Can't match the Rover in the dirt, interior is less elegant than cheaper Touareg cousin.

What’s new

A V6-powered Cayenne joins the lineup as the new entry-level model.

Edmunds says

Awkward-looking but thrilling behind the wheel, the Cayenne is a thoroughly capable vehicle that makes good on its Porsche nameplate.

2004 Porsche Cayenne S AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 6A)

I saw a beautiful 2004s on a lot and decided to take it for a spin. This is not a fake Porsche but the real deal! I drove it home a week later. A huge pleasure to drive! One worry was mpg but to my surprise it really gets 21 mpg on the highway at 65 ans cruising. Yes there are some bugs like the radio that doesn`t always work but overall I got a $70,000 car for well under 20 grand. One …

2004 Porsche Cayenne S AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 6A)

After 15 months have settled with Porsche. The vehicle was in the shop 52 days for one problem. Additionally, the driver's seat broke, the remote doesn't work, and tires had to be replaced. This SUV has always driven herky jerky and the brakes squeak. Three months ago I asked the dealership to work with me on a trade in. They offered $30K less than I paid for it, …

My one year of ownership review

aorobert, 09/20/2012

2004 Porsche Cayenne S AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 6A)

LOOKS: It's a beauty. No it is not a VW. FEEL: I have never driven such a tight vehicle. I traded in a Mercedes ML430 for this and never looked back. GAS: Lousy gas mileage, more like 12/15. But for some reason when I get it above 80 my mileage improves to about 18. Too bad I can't stay at those speeds for very long.
