What a Fine Machine

I came out of an older V8 Touareg that I bought new; loved it, but they don’t make ‘em like they used to. The Cayenne S does everything the Touareg did well only better. Very comfortable; excellent fit and finish; addictively good power and handling. It’s a sports car, it’s a people and stuff hauler, it’s a great long distance cruiser and it’s my office; very happy with my purchase.

I loved the car in all aspects except that there's a flow in the drain design for Porsche. First the drain of aircon got clogged. The car rusted from the inside while 2 years old. I noticed by level of condensation I got in the car in the morning. After arguing back and forth with the dealer everything was covered under manufacturing warranty. This year, after manufacturing warranty expired, I noticed the condensation problem came back. This time, removing covers in the back with dealer, we uncovered several inches of water in the bottom of the chassis. And water ingress in the battery. Reason was a design flaw in the rooftop drains. Water goes inside the car, invisible, and accumulates at the bottom of the car. Cost of repairs was in excess of 40,000. Car value was 42,000. So the car was totalled. Porsche refused any responsibility. Porsche top Management treated my request for compensation (even just a rebate on a new model) with disdain, arrogance, and almost mockery. Even though your car has only 50,000 miles, if you are out of manufacturing warranty you know what risks you are exposing yourself too. That was their response. To my knowledge this problem happens regularly on all Cayenne, Macan, Panamera models. I strongly recommend to stay away from these models with sunroofs and from that brand who is so arrogant that they couldn't care less about customers.

i used to own X5 4.4, this cayenne is not the same level in terms of handling and comfort. It's just not worth the money at all.
