Very nice car

Love the SUV that thinks it?s a sports car. Fast acceleration with the twin turbos. Entertainment system rocks. Rooney.

Porsche Cayenne is one of the best SUVS!

Perfect balance of comfort and performance. This SUV is reliable, fun to drive, and just the right size. The timeless design of the exterior and interior truly make the Cayenne one of the best SUVs on the market today. With multiple trim levels you can go with a base model up to the Turbo S so this model really caters to many drivers.

The Best car I have ever had the pleasure to ride.

The Porsche Cayenne is one the most stylish and comfortable cars and the design is out of this world. I wish that they can come out with a new style and design that will fit a king. But overall it is just perfect the way it is. Lou (ALOHA)

Sports car in SUV body

Our Cayenne (300HP base) with the sport chrono, sport exhaust and fully adjustable air ride package on Turbo II wheels feels and drives as well as the higher HP models, minus a couple seconds from 0-60, which you will never notice or really "need." This car, in sports plus mode, feels faster than and is much more fun to drive than all our other cars, including some true sports cars, yet its an AWD SUV with room for four plus some gear! Family loves riding in it. Porsche is selling more of these than any other models for a reason! Issues with the first generations seem to have been worked out. Reliability is good, but its still relatively new. Warranty is 5/50K. Consumer/auto journals have this model as the #1 Luxury SUV tied only with Lexus. Trust me, the Lexus is zero fun to drive and is no comparison to the Cayenne. The BMW X5 is also of no comparison, unless you splurge and go up to the M. Our Cayenne is hands down the funnest car or SUV to drive that we've ever owned. Way to go Porsche! My only complaint is that we heard that naturally aspirated Cayennes are no longer being made after 2017, since Porsche is going with Turbos and smaller engines in all their cars. Nothing personal against Turbos, I've owned a few, but I much prefer a larger naturally aspirated engine over a smaller one with a Turbo any day, even if the latter is technically more efficient and more powerful (but only in full boost).

Awesome ride and interior

It is a very configurable car and I am still learning new things it can do. Integration to the phone depends on the carrier

My Four Door 911

Since I was not able to lease a Caymen for 3 years and my VW dealer wrecked my T_Rex, I decided to kill two birds with one stone. The Cayenne solved both problems. I did not get the air suspension as I had on the T-Rex but the open road ride is good. A little bumpy at low speeds but ok. The base engine rev.s good and the gearing is great. The interior is awesome. Porsche did a great job and did not use plastic. Fit and finish both inside and out is great... Yes, you know the handling would be one of the best in the market for an SUV. Audio, base 19" tires and truck space is great. Neat how the rear seat can move forward as well as sectional. Love my 4-door Porsche.

unchangeable

once the build is locked it can not be changes, therefore I couldn't change the color of the car, couldn't get the wheels to match, nor add a roof rack. One day late
