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.

Hybrid broke dow at 35,000. Porsche Cayenne hybrid couldn’t fix. Low ball offer to buy back. Awful experience. Surprised after owning 4 previous Porsche. No more. Be very careful.

2019 Porsche Cayenne Brakes

The brakes on my 2019 Porsche Cayenne overbearingly squeal at low speeds. My porsche dealer states the brakes on all 2019 Porsche Cayenne's squeal like mine and there is no fix for this issue. Not acceptable to have noisy brakes like this in a $90,000 + vehicle. Would never purchase another one!!!!

Porsche through and through.

Be aware of the build for the car as the option packages numerous and tricky to parse out the end result. As an SUV the base car gives exceptional performance and sedan like ride if you are looking for rocket like power go up to the S or GTS. Porsche has done a great job on this utilitarian vehicle.

It has been just about five years now and slightly over 50,000 miles and the car has been trouble free with one exception. The battery went out and much to my surprise, a Cayenne battery is $3,000!!! Fortunately, my warranty covered it or that would had been disappointing. Other than that, bulletproof. I was thinking of updating the Cayenne but there is no real difference in the new models so I purchased a new 911S Cab instead and love it. Next up, I may trade the Cayenne in for a new hybrid or GTS model. Great car!!!
