2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 4dr SUV AWD (4.8L 8cyl Turbo 8A)

Previous vehicle was a MB GL550. Cayenne obviously much more sporty. Ride on stock 21" wheels/tires pretty stiff, even with diminished tire pressure. I sprang for 19" winter wheels/tires (Blizzaks) and ride much smoother. Acceleration, braking, handling are all insane--hard to believe you're driving a 2.5 ton SUV. What's not to like? Not much. Rear visibility stinks (but Lane Change Assist is nice). Ambient interior lighting OK for city but need to turn off on lonely highway at night. Seat memory function on key kind of finicky--need to insert key, wait for seat to adjust, then start, otherwise seat will stop adjusting when you turn ignition. Girlfriend complains about difficulty getting out but when I help her exit I get a nice view, and get to act like a gentleman in the process. Fuel economy stinks, if it's anything like the GL550, it's gonna eat tires every 20K or so and I'm sure repair bills will be breathtaking. If you get a Porsche and then complain about things like that, well, might be time to trade it in. Update: Took a 2000 mile road trip and performed well. Nice cruiser when suspension set to "comfort" mode. On a long highway cruise with speedo set @ 78mph, got 22 MPG. Could use more storage/cupholders in the center console and less switches. Some of the metallic trim on the dash, vent covers, etc. can reflect sunlight and be irritating. Wish the sun visor extended so that when it's moved to cover the driver side window there wasn't a 2" gap that the sun *always* seems to find. Minor issues but other manufacturers have figured out ergonomics. Update: Just turned 30K. Changed spark plugs, cabin & engine air filters, and transfer case fluid myself. Have not had any transfer case issues. Installed secondary cat bypasses... nice sound! Summer tires replaced at about 18K, with Michelin, didn't like OEM PZeroes. No issues & still running like a champ.

Porsche Cayenne GTS - what a beast!

My last four SUVs have been BMW X5s. All but the last were Sport models. I was a very happy owner of each (although they're deathly expensive when out of warranty). Last vehicle was a 2019 X5. Utter disappointment. Seems BMW went to fully electronic steering since I had last bought one. What a mistake. The car had zero steering feedback and was as dead as disco when on center. The electronics were maddening and a perfect example of "technology for the sake of technology". Hated it. Owned it three weeks and traded it for a 30,000 mile 2014 Cayenne GTS. It is like going from driving a soccer mom mobile to a high performance go-kart. I was particularly interested as this was the last model year of the big, naturally aspirated V-8. Uncredible acceleration. Handling is precise and the car doesn't try to entertain you with electronics. I'm an analog guy in a digital world and a little electronic wizardry goes a very long way with me. This is a car that demands your attention and input and rewards you. I would suggest you finish your frapacchino and put your smart phone away before piloting this one. Not to say it's not civilized. Fit and finish are legendary and nothing sounds like that V-8 when you twist the ingition.

2013 Porsche Cayenne Diesel 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 8A)

I bought this used, and have had little issue. The clock came pre-broke which is a common problem amongst this year group. Other than that it's high-mileage only clarified its reliability to me. I drive it about 150 miles a day and only fill up on Friday's as a precursor to Monday. Three months into ownership and no issues. Its cabin noise is slightly louder in front but that is due to me driving a diesel that roars down the highway when I stomp on it and purrs when I'm cruising at high speeds (>80MPH its almost stealthy). It is a joy to drive to this day, handles like a sports car, fuel efficiency of a diesel, and the space and climbing ability of a SUV, what a wonderful Porsche! plus it has a range of 700+ on a full tank for weekend trips/travel. There is no substitute.

No longer available in the US in the diesel version, which is a shame, because it combines all the fun of driving a Porsche SUV with the fuel economy of a diesel. The diesel version has much better pickup than the base gasoline Cayenne and is just a blast to drive - those 400 plus foot pounds of torque make the vehicle leap from a flat start. If you put it into the optional Sport mode, it's just sick. It's my perfect vehicle.

The Cayenne S with the 400 HP V8 is hard to find. It has much more power than the V6 and is only 1 mpg less than the V6!
