What a fun Porsche
This is a great vehicle. It goes through snow and mud as easily as an asphalt parking lot. It looks pretty good, a little fat. To me, this is not a gussied up VW Touareg, nor is the VW a downmarket Porsche. The Cayenne S is the best balance of the 3. The Turbo is just unbelivably fast, but the suspension seems to have a difficult time handling all that power; even feeling a little torque steer. The V6 is just that, a V6. Go for the S. It is plenty fast for US market, and affordable when you run the numbers on a lease. Porsches hold their value, and this is a better deal than many other SUVs in this price bracket. If you know how to amortize the payments, this is the way to go.

My Cayenne
The 2006 Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition is an enjoyable and great driving vehicle!
Not Mom friendly
I really don't like this car. When we went to look at it I thought it was great because it had style, class and super comfortable seats. The more I drive it though, the less I enjoy it. The GPS system is terrible. The seats are nearly impossible for me to maneuver (can't get the head-rests on and off by myself, really hard to fold and lift the rear seats) and the rear storage is totally inadequate. I had my daughter a year after I bought this car and it is so difficult to put the car seat in and out of too! On the other hand, we were rear eneded when she was a newborn and barely felt the impact which was nice.
Very Solid SUV
The car is built very well. I know that the sister car, the Touareg is a lemon. The Cayenne is not. I really enjoy the interior. The navigation system is very nice and easy to use. The standard stereo has a very high quality of sound. The seats are comfortable. It is very fast and when you use the triptonic. I love the sound. It is sooo beefy! That V8 hollers! I had one minor problem with it right when I got it. The antifreeze was leaking into the AC. But the dealer fixed it right away. I really love the car.
Cayenne IS a Hot Chili Pepper!
We had a Boxster and decided to try the Cayenne as we have four dogs and horses. The Cayenne is very comfortable, easy to drive, gives me the power when I need it. It is a good solid car. Best of all I feel very safe in it.
Love It!
Car is extremely well put together and fun to drive, vehicle gets expensive with ala carte options that are standard with the competition. Only annoyance is that when you need to park it for an extended period the battery will drain down, there is no "long term stand bye mode". Total plus of this design is the navigation, you can disable it and drive fr weeks without seeing an annoying navigation warning. Nice job Porsche!
200k miles, 0 mechanical issues
Nothing has gone wrong yet and I don’t think it will, amazing car! Only issues I’ve had were the radio went out at 197k but I wanted a Bluetooth aftermarket radio anyways and this gave me the chance to get one. Other than that amazing car mechanically, visually and feels great to drive!

Better than my X5
My Porsche Cayenne rides very well. It has just enough power, but could use a little boost. It handles better than my last vehicle (a 2003 X5) and stops better too. This SUV looks great, and its paint job is much better than the one on my X5 too. Its sound system isn't great, I should have gotten the upgraded Bose. It leases for almost exactly what the X5 loaded does. It is a nice change.
Best vehicle I've ever owned
I bought the Cayenne S Tip after looking for a long time, I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money! It has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have had to change the headlights a few times, nothing anyone with a little common sense couldn't do themselves. I have three young children but wasn't ready to give up my need for performance! Handles awesomely, acceleration is amazing. I am in the market for another Porsche, although I don't like the new rear end on the Cayenne's I love the Panamara!!
