Worth every penny. Initially purchased the base cayenne with 6 cyl. Later drove the GTS and I was hooked. NO comparison. I Love this car. I have had them all range rover, bmw, lexus... this car blows them all away hands down.

Rides like a dream, waited 10 years to purchase one and well worth the wait. Love the triptronic and black leather interior. You will not be disappointed with the incredible space this vehicle offers.

Oil burning, lots of pat quality problems

Overall performance is good. Powerful, responsive, and fun to drive. Oil burning started from the 1st day of the purchase. It needs topping three quarts of oil per 10K miles. Horn, power chair motor, heater, AC blower, etc all broke within the warranty period. The thick central axis was broken after 50k miles of gentle city drive. I also owned BMW X5 and some Japanese cars, but none of them had sooo many issues.

Cayenne GTS - An Absolute Gem

Ordered gts in nov 07, got it in March. Absolutely phenomenal car! Base Price $72k, beware options are numerous, expensive, and can easily add at least $15k to the Price. No bluetooth, but that’s not a problem, next week I Will have tooki bluetooth system installed (3rd party), it works seamlessly with the existing nav. Better solution that Porsche’s phone module where you would have to insert your sim card into nav to use a phone. With the ‘sport’ option enabled the car’s engine has deep, loud roar. A truly unique Porsche sound. I get 13 city, 17 highway, something I expected, especially for a 405 hp engine. Had bmw x5 4.4 for many years, this Cayenne simply blows it away in every way.

One of the best SUV that I own

I bought the 09 GTS in 2011 with 10k on the odometer. Still, with factory warranty I drove it as much as I could and after a month or so a check engine light came on. It was the filter from the transmission, easy fix. From that time on, the car is running great. I have now 47K miles on it. During this time I did change the front and rear brake pads and front disk brakes, went through few sets of tires, oil changes every year and all the maintenance at Porsche dealer. I can say it is the best car I ever owned. Porsche customer service is outstanding and helpful, they never sell me unnecessary service.
