I only drive my Cayenne when I'm touring the highways and byways, that's when I can truly enjoy it! From red light to red light or stop sign to sign don't really appeal to me! I'll just drive my Wrangler for that city driving. Great SUV, I Love it still!!!

2008 Cayenne troubles I have had since new.

2008 Porsche Cayenne S 4dr SUV AWD (4.8L 8cyl 6A)

1st Porsche put plastic tubes under the manifold for coolant to circulate. These brake around 80,000 miles. Porsche knows and has a kit you will need About $3000. The rear drive shaft center bearing wears out at about 100000 miles About $1200. about this time the bearings on the front end needed to be changed $2500. The tires will wear on the inside badly. $1700 for tires. Now the radio quit working. I had a radio shop who told me they can send it away to get fixed, They pulled it and sent it. It returned and put back in. The anti theft kicks in and kills your battery. It has to be programed to your car by a Porsche dealer. My radio never came on again. had to remove it just to use the car. I live 400 miles to a dealer. The radio will cost $5050. I've owned this since new and still like it but the repair costs exceed it's worth. Brakes, starter, and high pressure fuel pump have been changed. I did them myself. I like the machine, runs great. Just be aware about buying one used.

2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo 4dr SUV AWD (4.8L 8cyl Turbo 6A)

This is not an SUV. It's a sports car that merely looks like one. Acceleration and cornering performance are outstanding, and rival all but a handful of true sports cars. I wanted a 911 turbo, but live in the mountains and need a SUV. I don't feel I'm missing out on the driving experience at all. New front end is beautiful and aggressive. Highly recommend it.
Great SUV with ONE major flaw...

I bought a used Cayenned S with 50k miles on it. It is a great vehicle as most of the reviewers have noted. However, there is one major flaw which no one has pointed to in their reviews. The front buckets seats are extremely uncomfortable, probably the worst I've ever sat on. The middle section is only about 16" wide and go up sharply from there to provide support, but it is extremely firm. My bottom side and hamstrings are literally sore after driving for an extended period of time. I am now driving with a pillow. A quick note, I am averaging about 15 MPG in mixed driving and the vehilce is solid. No other complaints other than those seats. C'mon Porsche, you can do better!
