VERY Disappointed Cayenne Platinum Edition owner

The 2017 Cayenne Platinum Edition is overpriced and Porsche USA customer support is atrocious. There are many problems highlighted online that the paid test drivers won't tell you. Driver controls and gauges are very poorly placed and designed. Passenger side dash is an obnoxious protrusion and hazardous in even medium sunlight. Engine and drive line require software updates that customer service and most dealers don't want you to know about. They are covered under warranty but very expensive out of warranty. Transfer case issues are common. PCM issues are mysterious and PCNA refuses to address. Tire and brake wear are far worse than competition. STAY AWAY from the 17 and 18 Cayenne. Litigation is pending.

I have owned the car for about two years. Excellent quality build. Quality materials used inside, very luxurious. Sporty performance, no creeks, rattles or shakes. Quality in and out. Quality is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Engine is powerful, 520 to 570 hp.

Porsches are mostly about performance and less about luxury. I love the look of my car inside and out and how it accelerates and handles in traffic. But when it comes to all rhe extra stuff, like navigation, clock, mileage odometer, seat settings, etc., my car is already starting to show it's age with only 24k miles. The hands free bluetoorh has never worked, the seat settings sometimes decide to change to a different driver, the clock doesn't always reset itself, the trip odometer stopped resetting a few months ago. I'm just disappointed that Porsche couldn't do better. My Subaru never had any of these issues and I had it for 7 years. Also my tires are just wearing very unevenly and I already had to have them replaced once! Again, I only have 24,000 miles on this car.

I will NOT buy another new Porsche as they are all Turbos now. Only problem has been premature leather seat wear (quite common), sport exhaust corrosion and tail light delamination/quality concerns. Porsche addressed all free of charge to me replacing nearly $4,000 in parts under warranty. Otherwise no mechanical issues at all at 40,000 miles. Original tires near end of life. Otherwise incredibly reliable. Quality of parts just not there, especially when costs are considered. I will not keep it much longer as maintenance costs will simply be too high for what it is. Dealer wants $100 to mount one tire, $400 for an alignment, $350 for an oil change, $2,000 for a tune-up that consists of about $300 in parts. Brakes are multi-thousand dollar repairs per axle! Yet the quality of these parts are sub par to Japanese autos!!!! Is it fast and does it handle great? Yes. But, so do cars half the price that are much easier on the wallet to maintain.
