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 … piece of adviceis
to verify how the car was maintained and by who.

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, …
which I thought was ridiculous. When I
finally "lemon lawed" it, Porsche
called and wanted to settle, fifteen
months after I purchased it. I am so
disappointed in this car and would
recommend to everyone to not buy it.
My one year of ownership review
4.75 out of 5 starsaorobert, 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.

2004 Porsche Cayenne S AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 6A)
We just purchased the 04 Cayenne S with under 60k miles, got the extended warranty...after less than a month owning it the rear axle had to be replaced at a cost of $1400.00. 2 weeks later in the hot sun the check coolant light went on, car was in the shop for a week to replace the coolant tubes had to replaced with the aluminum tubes, a Porsche defect that they are currently avoiding, … at a cost of $3200.00, exactly 1 week later while I was backing my car into the garage the steering wheel started doing what it wanted and the light came on MOVE STEERING WHEEL there was a loud noise click click click and the car died. Will not start, go into gear, NOTHING. Had to be towed back to the dealer.
