best car I've ever owned

2005 Porsche Cayenne S AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 6A)

This is by far the best car I've ever owned. All around it is the best in every category. I had a Tiptronic twin turbo 911, and for a sports car that was the best. The Cayenne is just as much fun to drive. My only regret is that I did not buy the turbo version, but I thought I'd send my daughter to a year in college instead.

the cayenne s is a pleasure for four out of the five senses. The looks exterior is unique to other SUV's with its defined lines and aluminum trim work, and the interior is comfortable with instrumentation placed with the driver in mind. hearing the engine when you step on the gas with the true Porsche sports car sound will bring out the kid in you. the Smell of the quality leather interior continues well into ownership. the feel is the most adrenalin rushing part of the car. Acceleration, handling, stability, and braking is every bit as sport car feel as a corvette, with a seating for five, four wheel drive, and a comfortable ride, you know you bought the best of both worlds.

Had excellent buying experience with dealer in every aspect. The vehicle is everything we expected. My only negative is the ride is very stiff. Vehicle has only 1600 miles on it and hopefully that will soften up a bit.

Awesome car

I know that this is considered an SUV, but I think of it more as a car. I have owned many SUVs over the past ten years. I must have an SUV because I occasionally pull a trailer. I have pulled my boat behind it and it pulls great. My dream car was someday owning a Porsche. When your family grows, reality comes into play. With this SUV you can have the best of both worlds. I have owned every other high line SUV and nothing compares to the precision handling that you will experience in the Cayenne.

Nothing Compares To You

The Cayenne is without a doubt the best performing 'SUV' out there. I put 20" technos with 275 Michelins on mine for non-winter driving (which are specifically designed for this vehicle's suspension and rated at 186 mph) and the Cayenne is transformed to near 911 handling - what a difference, not that the 18" 255's are bad. These tires are a must have for the true performance seeker with $5,000 to spend on great fun. It is hard to get my PSM to kick on, wet or dry, with these on! Aggressive males and females will enjoy the most it has to offer. Why bother otherwise?
