Insanely Fast

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.

2008 Cayenne troubles I have had since new.

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.

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!

As a current owner, let me tell you what options you should pass on. Skip the Cargo system and any type of upgraded wheels. You will save a few dollars if the car comes with the Preferred Pkg or Preferred Pkg plus. It’s more if you select all the stuff that comes in these packages a stand-alone. In the USA, the Cayenne will be more than enough power, especially in sports mode. There is a slight delay in the acceleration when you press on the gas but once its in the optimum power band the acceleration is linear. If you don’t need a Nav and all the other options I would opt for the Cayenne S. The difference is very noticeable. Love the car and the Look. Wood Package is a must have!

Never had a Porsche until now. Owned an Acura for 8 years. Looked around for a fun SUV. Tried Highlander, Pilot, Murano, MDX, Infiniti, and then accidentally Cayenne. Wow..What a ride. Cool, full of power, firm, tight..sold on Cayenne..Excellent Sand/Havana Beige interior w/Black outside. Life is short.. Enjoy while you can. Will definitely have tons of fun with this one..
