Nothing but problems from day 1

I’ve been back for multiple problems at least 12 times...4 times in service...they said there aren’t problems. Took to a Porsche specialist, hooked it up to computer system and most things failed. Now dealer handed it over to “Porsche”. They had it for 2 weeks...no phone calls or communication. It’s a lemon. For $104,000 I deserve a replacement. Climate (AC/heat) don’t work, seat memory doesn’t work, engine timing off etc.

The base car is great - well worth it

Porsche delivers a solid performing SUV that has the polish and finishes you would expect in a luxury SUV. The base features put the value right where you would want it. Materials, ride quality, ergonomics and overall fun all are there. Like all vehicles, nothing is perfect, which is why there is a choice. The Seats, including the upgraded premium seats, are a bit more firm than needed. The options to get the seats in the right place, however, are great. The ride is smooth and the suspension is solid. Trying to go slow though you do notice the slightly clunky transmission. The big complaint is, of course, the extras. As a base level, you get a car substantially similar to its competitors in terms of features. However, Porsche instance to charge for the absolutely most stupid things is silly. I picked one off the lot and it had Porsche crests in it for $495. Why would I pay for their advertising? You cant put aftermarket roof rails on, but it is an 800$ option and a number of things to change colors are just silly. Otherwise, air suspension and advanced features are simply a choice. Expensive but some are worth it. Overall, however, it was by far the best value for the money I could get a SUV in its class. I test drove everything from a RRS, a GLE, F pace, and others. I do truly enjoy it, I just wish Porsche would get off their proverbial high horse and not answer every question with "it's a Porsche". The Cayenne absolutely fuels the rest of the company and mostly it fuels it with base models and some features. "its a Porsche" is not a competitive answer... They could do better. Note: I have owned a 911 before so I am not new to the brand.

Generally love the vehicle, but.....

This is my second Cayenne. Overall, believe I liked my 2015 better. This one has better performance, but am not thrilled with the updated electronics. Also the drive system is a little frustrating at times. The handling is terrific - as it should be for a Porsche. The NAV system is the pitts! I can't understand why Porsche doesn't get a better vendor for that system.

Worst experience of my life

When you test drive the car you want make sure to be aware that Porsche considers many abnormal things to be normal. I am currently in arbitration about my vehicle. Custom order cayenne turbo. 165k for my vehicle and it sounds like jalopy when it comes to stop. Porsche considers themselves a drive experience like no other... they have that right. Buying the car was the best experience I ever had the following year has been horrible. Do your research and DO NOT get the PSCB brakes. Horrible! They claim to be better then PCCB but spend the extra money and you won’t have to deal with squealing stops. People don’t stare at you because you drive at 160k car they stare at you because the car makes endless high pitch squeals as it comes to a stop. Recommendation is to wait 5 years until they come out with something better or look elsewhere for a high performance SUV. I have multiple videos of this and picture of wiring harness coming loose on my brakes yet they claim this is normal.
