61 of 66 people found this review helpful
I absolutely loved everything about my Cayenne GTS and have been thrilled with it, until this weekend. On a ski trip to Mammoth from LA the transmission has gotten stuck in low range. It wont move up to give me a limited differential and it wont move down to road mode. If I try the 307 mile journey home I have to do it at 50mph. I googled the issue and now find that its a common problem. Porsche roadside assistance is coming tomorrow to get it but wont tow it back to LA only to Fresno. Porsche have totally let ,me down.

2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl Turbo 6A)
14 of 14 people found this review helpful
I purchased a used but untitled Porsche Cayenne Turbo about 8 months ago. I have put approximately 10,000 miles on it (it previously had 5,000). It has had absolutely no problems. Its acceleration and handling are on par with most sport cars. Its off-road handling is also excellent. The adjustable ride height is a must if you plan to do any significant off-road driving. However, this option also improves daily driving, allowing you to set a fairly low, more car-like ride height.

My Porsche Cayenns is an awesome SUV, I have the 6 cylinder model and would love to try the turbo. Make sure your Cayenne has the best headlights made. I'm very disappointed in the standard headlights. This is not a very large SUV, the interior room is only fair. Keep in mind if you look to go off road that the stock tires are not designed for it. My final conclusion is that this is a 911 with a SUV Body. It is a lot of fun to drive!

Ultimate Sport "Utility" Vehicle

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

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo is the ultimate "utility" vehicle, being extremely capable on the road, offering good performance off-road, a good towing capacity of 7,700 lbs., and feeling good doing it all. Nothing else really compares to it. If you are not planning on taking advantage of this superb technology, I would suggest getting a BMW X5, Lexus RX350, or an Audi Q7. Most SUV owners never tow or take the vehicle off road, so save your money and shop elsewhere. Also, the Cayenne Turbo is equipped with high performance, soft Pirelli tires that wear quickly...something the customer needs to understand.
Great performance, poor reliability

2005 Porsche Cayenne Tiptronic AWD 4dr SUV (3.2L 6cyl 6A)
22 of 26 people found this review helpful
This SUV is a dream to drive. The handling is superb and the feeling of comfort and security are incredible. However, I had to: 1. Reprogram the software several times, 2. Replace a solenoid in the transmission (hard painful "clunk" when decelerating), 3. Replace crankshaft because of defective rubber housing, 4. cheap plastic parts in the interior keep braking at minor touch, 5. PCM2 system screen went bad after 60,000 miles. According to the dealer and my mechanic, all of the above problems seem to be common for the 2005 model. I hope that Porsche is listening. Would I buy another Cayenne again? Absolutely yes. The pleasure of driving one far exceeds the pain of repairing it.

I love driving this car but Porsche should be ashamed of craftsmanship. Everything plastic has broken off, rear door will not stay open and presents hazard, ac and navigation is a joke, and maintaining vehicle even the Porsche repair shop shakes their head about how poorly designed it is. My advice pick another model.

One of the best car I've owned. BMW X5M or Mercedes ML65 can't come close. I've been lucky to own all three vehicles at one point in time. Although X5 and ML63 has more power IMO but when it comes to handling nothing can compare.

This car is a road warrior. I have over 100k miles on it and it still runs like it is brand new. It loves the open road, I once drove across Nevada non stop doing well over a 100 mph and felt comfortable, stable and safe. Will buy another one when this one wears out, could be a while.

Have owned this car for little over a month. Is a joy to drive. Fast and reliable - true Porsche driving in an SUV. Have owned both a BMW X5 and a Mercedes ML 320 - Cayenne is far superior to these other two. Gas mileage is comparable to the others. Interior is finished beautifully - I have the aluminum finish vs. wood. Modern and sleek. I purchased the 20 inch sport techno wheels which make the appearance more aggressive. Overall, a tremendous driving experience!

The Porsche Cayenne is an exciting vehicle because it is a Porsche. It goes over bumps badly and the legroom in the back could be roomier. It is awkward to get to the cup holders in the front which are too small for an average water bottle but perfect for fountain drinks or an evian. As far as driving goes it is a great ride. The speed of this vehicle is wasted on a stay at home mom such as myself. However, I bought mine for prestige alone. I am too cute for a minivan so this five seater accommodates me and my 4 kids comfortably. The looks and stares I get from people was worth the cost alone, that and the cool key. I would definately rate the Cayenne as an appropriate dream/practical car.

Overall it is a good vehicle. I have had it a year and do enjoy it. This car was purchased for the safety and handling features. (I had recently been in an accident where the air bags deployed.)The handling and braking are great. I still drive my Explorer as it is easier to load things in, but if it rains this is the vehicle to be in. Unfortunately I was just notified the staged air bags that were listed on my paperwork were not available when I purchased my car (they did state that the airbags exceeded requirements but that is not enough for me). I am very concerned about that and will look for another vehicle that offers that feature. I have owned Porsches since 1964. I get 16 MPG around town.

As a single dad, I had resigned myself to the necessity (and boredom) of driving your standard SUV. Thank goodness for the Cayenne. It has plenty of room for the field hocky sticks and gear, yet when Dad wants to recall his younger years, the performance is great. The styling is sophisticated for a night on the town but not over done. The acceleration and handling are truly like a sports car with the practicality and benifits of an SUV thrown in. This has been a great vehicle which has been exceptionably reliable.

Fun to Drive Could not believe Porsche forced me to pay extra for a spare wheel and inflatable tire on $55,000 car. They had given me a sales brochure showing two hunting dogs in the rear. The brochure had no date. It listed a spare as standard. They refused to supply one . they claimed spares were not standard on '04 models. The brochure was not dated.

I've owned 7 BMW's from the 320 to the 750 and this is the best all around vehicle that I've owned. (Barely beats the 750il) For a SUV it is beyond expectations for solid driving and stability. The engine performance of the S version V-8 is tremendous.

I had a 930 Turbo for about 7 yrs until Porsche announced the Cayenne. Since I have 2 kids, I sold the 930 and ordered the Cayenne S. Of course, the 930 is much quicker, but the Cayenne made me forget about missing my old love. It is so comfortable it fits like a glove. Everything is so convenient, smooth, user friendly Has grab handles where need them. It truly makes you feel loved and special. It has plenty of power.It handles very nimble, stops on a dime and always feels safe. I live in the country and I have a great time eating up the roads. I have never had one problem with my car. It has only been in the shop for an oil change and 20K service.

Ok so i bought this car as a Christmas gift to myself and I have loved it since day one! It's fast sporty and fun to drive. I would have bought the turbo but it has really lag. I have taken the Cayenne off road numerous times and it has held up well. I'm very pleased with this car. Fuel economy is poor but it is a V8 and I'm coming from a V6.

'04 Cayenne S $71,000 Thought Cayenne would be step up had '02 BMW 4.4. X5 Cayenne does not match BMW quality, luxury, dependability. Wheel off center left 2in. Pulls left, changes lane within 100 yds. Wheel shakes 55-85 at 70-85 shake is so bad, hard to hold the wheel. W ent back to dealer 5 times, 1st month for wheel shaking, remote keys don't work, use key to open but cant get the alarm off to start towed to dealer. Radio starts cutting in and out. Wheel still shakes, front doors rattle when stereo turned up, 3 wheel alignments, tires worn out at 7.000 miles. Sold at 7,500 miles - 4 months old for $25,000 loss. To date over 145 technical service bulletins issued on 2 year old model.

Bought my Porsche Cayenne new, was back three times for repairs, the last one was in the shop six weeks, the ride is like a mack truck, couldn't wait to unload it. Make sure you get a really good ride before purchasing this car. It does not ride like a sports car, I have had a couple Corvettes that had a better ride.

The Porsche Cayenne S has great driveability for an SUV but sadly we call ours the Homing Pigeon because it spends so much time in the dealer shop. Mostly small warning light problems but also an amazing number of recalls - I think 6 to date, mostly software upgrades. We now have a home in the Canadian boonies and unreliability plus no spare means this car is to be changed for a Lexus LX 470 To be fair the Toronto service shop has been well above average in looking after us but at the end of the day I want the car on the road, not in the shop. BTW the 19" tires are just horrible in snow - I bought an 18" set of rims and dedicated winter Scorpions and then she was great.

This car rests on its brand laurels; however the quality leaves so much to be desired. While it is fast from a dead stop, the interior sound is too high and the suspension is not as sporty as advertised. Big dissappointment. Will stick with the Carrerra in the future.

This Cayenne is just like driving my 911 only I am setting higher off the ground and I do not feel every pebble in the road surface. Great in the rain on slick roads and excellent handling in traffic. Still an obscure vehicle and no one really knows what it is, which is a plus. I like the fact that I can shift is manually. Very glad I bought the tire/rim warranty. Have replaced two tires already. Will keep you informed as the Porsche and I really get to know one another.

I was so happy with my Mercedes sedan, but didn't want a US made SUV, so I went looking. To my surprise only two SUV's were German-made. I tried the Porsche Cayenne and purchased the S because I like a V8 engine. I was going to purchase a 2004 but waited for the 2005 hoping they would have an available telephone.

Outstanding experience from the moment we walked in to test drive the car to today. The salesman, the dealership, the service departmenat, yet most important THE CAYENNE have all performed at 100% at all times to our expectations! We researched every automobile in the marketplace. There isn't anything out there that can compete with this in safety, design, comfort, excitement, performance as well as we feel we are getting great gas mileage. What more could a consumer ask for! Thank you for delivering a great product.

This SUV was acquired in February 2005. It was a dream of mine and I love it (not in the habit of associating love with materialism). It looks good and handles even better. I'm really enjoying it, but Im having a seat belt problem and fine the dealer and manufacturer to be un-responsive.

Just purchased the Chayenne S. Feels like you're driving an armored tank at first feel. Press the gas and you feel like you're in the cockpit of one of Porsche's fine sports cars. The thing is just so solidly built, never felt safer in any automobile. Love the engine growl, the taught and responsive steering and it's overall great looks inside and out. Have driven BMW, Mercedes and Audi...test drove X5, FX45 and others...the Cayenne blows their doors off. The air suspension option is a must have. It's a tank that turns into a rocket. I can only imagine what the Turbo feels like!

I love it! I have been a Porshe owner for many years and the Cayenne S is great. I sold my Carrera 911 for the Cayenne S. I wish I had done it sooner. It is truly a joy to drive, a serious road car. I travel about 80 miles a day round trip, 5 days a week. The downside to the SUV is the gas mileage.

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?

After driving five other so called competitors of the Cayenne it was no contest when it comes to performance. As a Corvette driver, I have been spoiled with high end performance car but now that my wife and I will be blessed with a child...it was time to think bigger. The Porsche SUV was not on my initial list but the more I've compared the extra few dollars can be well justified.

The Porsche Cayenne has a stellar motor, taught suspension, and unreal handling for a 5,000 lb. truck. The tiptronic shifters on the steering wheel are outstanding. The interior fit and finish are superb, its ergonomics are comfortable, and its driving position is firm and supportive. This truck's quality and design are German to the nth degree, which is a great thing. The navigation and stereo are both easy to use. The sound system is excellent. This vehicle has lots of usable space and the back seats are spacious. Folding the seats down could be easier though. I've had two very small problems in 14,000 miles. First, there was a rattle in the rear door which was a cable that became unfastened - easy fix by the dealer. The second was that the windshield wipers were sqeaky - they were replaced by the dealer. I have never had any mechanical issues.

I got a nail in my tire and had a flat at 45 mph in traffic.. it still drove like a Porsche as the tire was falling off the rim!!! It is simply amazing and so very much fun to drive or be seen in! People are always trying to see what it is or asking questions. It deserves all of the attention and it still is pure pleasure to drive or ride in! WTG PORSCHE!!! Not only am I proud of my car, it delivers on every thing a Porsche should be! I have a Boxster as well, but this is the car that goes everywhere for every occasion! Since it is spring, maybe the Boxster will have a better chance! Porsche is a family tradition.. because NO ONE DOES IT BETTER!

The 2005 Porsche Cayenne 6-cylinder has great power on and off road. When it snows it is a good idea to change from the Porsche all season tires to the winter ones. The inteior is what one would expect from a Porsche.

I have driven my 2005 Pirsche Cayenne Turbo beyond what the average driver would and I can say that it performed flawlessly and always left me with a comfortable feeling. What a great vehicle. If you want to own a vehicle that drives like a Porsche, can out haul a 3/4 standard equipment Chevrolet, have a great sound system (its the best that Ive heard yet in any vehicle) second to none, and have power to spare, get one of these. You wont be sorry.

If you've seen it, no comment necessary. To drive it you gotta learn to use the power; it's not standard stomp and romp. Had lots of nagging "quality recall" issues. Back hatch lid pops. Automatic keying system is not predictable. Electronic display puts up fictional problems. Wiper blades smearing. It's gonna be an amazing and unique vehicle once all the quirks are out. Option package a bit thin given price.

Typically after nine months I am trading in my cars for something new and different to drive, typically another German sports car. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo is my first Porsche and SUV and it drives like a real sports car, not an SUV. Everything in the car is well placed, tight, beautiful, and serves its purpose. Not only can you load the car up with options, but you can also add some of the aftermarket options as well from many makers. I have had no problems with the vehicle.

Fom day one, I have not had any buyer's remorse about my Porsche Cayenne S. It provides pure driving pleasure! I just returned from a road trip from California to Oregon and back. The vehicle performed wonderfully. Its steering, handling, power, Bose stereo, Navigation system, extra power from the S model, etc... I can't wait to go on my next road trip to Canada. Thank you, Porsche!

Except for recalls, my 2005 Porsche Cayenne has been an excellent blend of luxury and performance. It is far more luxurious than than the Land Rover Range Rover. It gives great on and off road performance. It comes with most of the bells and whistles that the Lexus RX 330 has, but it is not quite as luxurious. My fuel economy has been better than expected. This vehicle feels and drives like a Porche. It is pretty amazing. The downside is two different sets of tires are required. Performance tires (obviously) can't handle the winter weather.

I just purchased a Cayenne S last month. I have had many SUVs over the past 10 years, and this one definitely takes the cake. It feels much larger when your are inside. I love the quality that Porsche put inside and out.I also have a Cadillac Escalade with a super charger on it. It may have the power, but not the handling of the Cayenne. When you are driving it you feel like you are in a Porsche, not an SUV. The nice thing about it is you can still tow if you need to. The best of both worlds.
