Used 2014 Porsche Cayenne GTS 4dr SUV AWD (4.8L 8cyl 8A) Consumer Reviews

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.
