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.

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.

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.

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!

What a Fun Vehicle to Own

This is the best SUV I have ever owned. After having driven a Jeep, a Mercedes and a Range Rover, I'm totally sold to Porsche. At any speed on any road you have full control. The only minor negative point is the price for the options.
