Cayenne stinks

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 is my first Porsche but not my first SUV. Have had the Yukon, Acura MDX, Lexus LX 470, Cadillac Escalade and desired something sporty with SUV traits. I test drove an S but wanted the extra punch of the Turbo. The dealership worked hard to meet my price demands and satisfaction. This truck is very controllable at all speeds (even at 120). Its engine begs to cowl for you and to be driven fast. I would not advise the Turbo for my wife or a soccer Mom...stick with the S or V6. Mine has burned about a quart of oil since purchase which is consistent to what dealership advised based on how often you lay into the turbo boost. My kids love being dropped off at school in it because most don't know what it is. Much fun!

My Porsche Cayenne Turbo is really something. I own an a Mercedes-Benz SL 55 a Porsche Boxster S and this SUV hangs in there niceley in performance with the added benefit that I can take my whole family for the ride! My kids get a blast from the acceleration through a tight corner like the on ramp to the George Washington Bridge when comming from the Henry Hudson Pkwy. It's like a roller coaster ride! The fuel economy is notoriously bad, but one is rewarded by the thrill of driving this.

7,500 Miles, so far, in My Cayenne Turbo

It is faster than my older Porsches, but does not handle as well as a 911. On the other hand, it can cut through esses on ramps better than any vehicles other than the exotics and Porsche sports cars I encounter. The Turbo can be a little explosive, like the old 930s, but the large engine with the 457 ft pounds of torque at 2200 rpm really hides any turbo lag. I wish they would let me use it at a PCA track event.
