At age 52 - I am thrilled to buy this Porsche SUV. After years of owning cars for the sake of saving money - I decided to change things up, at this juncture in life. As a result, this go-anywhere, do-it-all, rocket-sled brick has unleashed hidden Adrenaline I have pent-up inside, for decades. Every drive now brings a huge, LOL smile to my face. Suddenly, spending money on something THIS FUN is now totally worth it. I plan on driving this over-the-top beast to the ground. I can now leave this Earth knowing I drove the fastest, man-made, land object I could afford. My perspective on life is now enhanced. Read all the reviews, watch all the YouTube video on this remarkable machine. There truly is NO substitute...

Super SUV

This is what you get when you want a supercar, but are looking for versatility and comfort. It drives like a sports car, it can beat most of them out there, comfort for 5. When you're driving up the mountain for some R&R at the lake, there is no better car to get that fun drive and bring along your family and gear! Name one other besides a Maserati 4 door? Porsche is known to be one of the only reliable sport cars, think Lambo, Ferrari, Aston Martin, would you buy any of them with over 80,000 mile on them? Porsche sells with no issues with high mileage for a reason! This is the top pick when buying the SUV of your dreams!

This is one of the smoothests most well engineered vehicles I've ever driven. It performs and handles exactly like a Porsche 911, but with the weight and safety to be an every day SUV.

Overall appearance and inside design are great! However, repair costs are astronomical/not designed for easy repair access and lots of plastic housings that break easily.---example: cannot just replace headlight bulb (which in itself -$150), need to replace entire headlight assy system unit ($1300). Fixed one side, week later the other side is gone -- condensation, etc. Drive shaft shot at 65k miles and oil change at $350! Although i bought (2nd owner) w/50k miles, and the car ran perfectly for 1st year, been constant repairs since then===$9k.

Class In Itself

The Porsche Cayenne turbo is a great SUV. It gets the looks and questions like any other Porsche. Off roading isn't its best feature though. I prefer the Range Rover over this truck and that is why I traded it in. The Cayenne had a lot of oversteer in icy conditions. The Ranger Rover isn't as fast with the super charger, but it uses the same amount of gas and is actually more comfortable. The head room is also better in the Range Rover, but build quality is better in the Cayenne Turbo. The AWD is OK in the Cayenne, but it's same as Audi's. If standing out is your game and speed is the key, get a Cayenne, but for practicality and pure off road use go for the Range Rover.
