Definitely one of the best SUVs on the Road

Bought my Cayenne in August of 2020. I have about 5000 miles on it now and it has been wonderful. No issues at all, and the build quality really is fantastic. It handles like a dream and even with the base engine it feels extremely quick. The transmission is amazingly fast and responsive. I only which I could go as fast as I want most of the time. I think the complaints about the fingerprints on the high gloss trim are overly dramatic as it is very easy to wipe off. My only complaint is that the start/stop system is very intrusive and you have to disable it each time you start the car. The apple CarPlay sometime has issues, however Porsche products are superior to other cars I have owned, especially when compared to BMW and Mercedes which have really gone downhill in my opinion. It should be noted that Porsche came in second in terms of luxury car reliability after Lexus. I may never own another brand of vehicle for the rest of my life.

Best SUV on the market, transmission lacking

This is a beautiful well built SUV that’s arguably the best looking SUV on the market. The interior is well done, it’s quiet and it rides very smoothly yet it handles like a sports car in the twisties. The transmission is slow off launch unless you’re in sports mode, unless it’s turbo lag? Downshifts especially jerk the car as you come to a stop. Motor is fast enough above 1500 RPMs, but you really have to floor it hard while passing. If you can afford it go for the S model but this will satisfy most people.

Great SUV

Great performance and handling. Quiet and comfortable. The center display has a lot of information and can be a bit overwhelming, but with some time it gets easier to use.
