Have 45 K miles on my 2016 Porsche Cayenne. Completely pleased. Check up's tend to be more expensive than other cars but this car is worth every penny. Built like a tank, it is the Swiss Army Knife of vehicles. I tow several boats with it, drive in dirt fields, and fly down the interstate. LED headlights are some of the best I have seen and it drives like a sports car with confident handling.

Great vehicle! The turbo lag was corrected with the last ECU software update. The key is to buy good quality diesel fuel. Mine runs great on Costco diesel at $1.99 a gallon in Ky. Averages 32 MPG. Just pay attention to the servicing the vehicle. Change out the transfer case fluid every 30K miles. DIY, 30 minutes and $41. Buy a VW Toureg Dipstick. The car is a Toureg except with Porsche finishes, suspension and interior. So, VW parts are much cheaper as readily available. You do not have to be a mechanic to do maintenance on this car. The build quality is excellent. The court in CA ruled that the motor and drivetrain on the vehicle is good for 10 years and that includes the emissions. So a 2016 put into service in late 2016 is under warranty until late 2016. I was going to purchase an extended warranty and the dealership said why? You would be wasting your money. Porsche of America is contacting the owners of these vehicles and making offers to buy them back for resale. Go figure? There is a reason for that. $$$$

2016 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C gas/electric hybrid 8A)

This is my 5th Cayenne and I have loved them all. The hybrid was a departure from my past but I have been super happy with it. For my driving style and where I live to work I constantly make my commute of 20 miles gas free. Much farther than the factory rating of 14. It’s such a great car I’m so lucky to be part of the hybrid crowd, HA The performance, build quality everything is superb. Not a day goes by that someone does not comment and that just makes it better.

When purchasing such a vehicle, you need to match your driving needs and expectations to the platform. The results with the Cayenne can be fantastic. The Cayenne handles unbelievably well for an SUV/CUV. The turning radius is likely the tightest I've ever experienced for a car, truck, or SUV. We ended up purchasing the e-hybrid because most of our driving is local (less than 50 miles) and the hybrid offers excellent overall MPG (~45 to 50 MPG) while still providing enough power and torque (along with the legendary Porsche handling) to make driving fun. This is our first hybrid and having previously owned a Tesla Model S, I can honestly say that the instrumentation in the e-hybrid Cayenne is comprehensive, logical, and very well thought out.

After exhaustive research, I was very excited to buy my very first Porsche. Ordered exactly what I wanted and was able to track on the boat from the factory. The first 5 months of ownership was great. The lime green brakes were very eye-catching. The mileage was great.. Based on my driving pattern, was able to get about 50mpg. The only complaint was a noticeable lag on acceleration when going from electric to gas when the battery was drained but that was not a big deal. Then at about month 6, the engine light came on for no reason. All the other gauges were fine and the car ran well. Brought it into the dealership for servicing. They ran their diagnostics and said that there was a valve that had to be tightened. They did that and the car ran ok for about a week then the engine light went on again. Brought it back in and they had to change out the valve. Got it back and then a week later, same thing again. Brought it back in again. This time, they had to change out the whole system there. So far, no problem there. However, tire got slashed one day at office by bored high schoolers walking through parking lot on way home from school. Called AAA. Come to find out that the hybrid do not have spare tire because there is no space secondary to battery. Then had to wait for flat-bed tow truck in deserted parking lot at night. Just something to keep in mind if you are researching cars these days. Porsche hybrids and their sport cars will not have spare tires. I have owned lexus, audi, mercedes...never have had this much trouble with a new car!! After having the car for a year, I have had no further problems. I plug in pretty consistently and, based on my driving habits, still get about 45-50mpg. There is a definite lag going from electric to gas. Knowing that, I turn off the electric mode purposefully when I know that I have to accelerate fast. It does not accelerate like my husband's Tesla but overall nice ride.
