Problem
My husband has had 2 Cayenne's in 6 months. The 1st he got his money back cause the window had ripples and so did the 4 replacement ones. The turbo he has now has been in the shop for 2 weeks with a key latch problem and my husband said others have been returned with transmission problems. Never buy first year out is my motto, but my husband didn't listen.
Hedonism on wheels
I am a true porschephile, but the nose never realy worked for me and I actually prefer the looks of the Touerag. Then I drove it. End of story. I own a dozen porsche 911s, and a couple of turbos, and this is fast. It also handles suprisingly well. It's possible to get 21MPG on the highway if you can keep it under 70 and keep the cruise on. I did this for a short while after picking the car up in tampa and driving it 1000 miles home. I found that I could cruise at 75-80 with ocasional burts up to 100 and still keep avg MPG at 19.4. Well worth it for the fun factor. This car is loaded. It has taken me 2 days to learn the nav audio system but now it seems intuitive. A blast!

Cayenne S
A Porsche in power and performance with the added off-road ability and towing capability that is simply unmatched anywhere else. The build quality is fantastic, the look and feel is great, it's fun to drive, is safe and practical, if also a little pricey. The ride quality is a little stiff, but not overly so, just stay away from the 20 inch tires with the short sidewalls.
Best SUV in the World
The Porsche Turbo is a new breed of SUV. I have never driven a car like it in my life. Turn off the PSM click the transmission into manual and this car is a beast. But in normal traffic it purrs like a tame feline. The Turbo is truly the best auto on the road. Fast, fun, big, nimble and it can even pull my boat. I got it when my previous S version blew a cylinder and they agreed to give it to me for 89,000 down from 99,900. Best deal I have ever made. If you have the $$$ you can not do better.
Poor Reliability
Parking Brake broke after a few tries. Replaced transmission drive at 40K miles and gear shift really poorly. Climate Control awful making so much noise. LED dashboard was so bad that needed to replace as warranty item. Sun Glasses box broke and cost $250. Oil change or minor maint. is very expensive. I wouldn't buy it if given second chance. Stylist and good performance but reliability is not in the design process. Beside the design for perf. must take reliability and cost-efficient sustainability seriously. Good name Porsche is tainted.
