Solid backbone

Let down by some plastics falling apart due to Florida sun....Otherwise the chassis and suspension is uber solid and strong. Great handling! The interior and exterior quality of materials are above Japanese automakers, however not as reliable as Japanese cars...

Great value

The price point on older Cayenne's is crazy attractive. The durability and quality far surpass anything else in this age bracket. I expect it to be expensive for repairs but am not seeing the amount of repairs competitor vehicle have as they age.

Besides great looking, car is amzing to drive!

The Cayenne S is one of the last big V8 engines which manufactures are dropping for 6 cylinder turbos. You will not find a sweeter sounding, more exciting, or fun to drive SUV. It can't e stopped by snow or bad weather, plus it coddles you in comfort and safety. This is an awesome SUV true to the Porsche name and reputation that outsells the beloved 911. The sales of Cayenne has been so successful as their number 1 selling vehicle, it provides resources needed to develop Porsche sports cars and is said to have saved the 911 from extinction.

Great car easy to maintain

Beautiful design and reliable car. Worth every penny. And definitely a neck breaker.owned it since 2010 and didn’t have any major problems, just regular maintenance such as fluid changes tires breaks tune up the most

Most fun & reliable car i have owned.

I can`t fault my 2004 Cayenne S 4.5V8. Wonderful seating & comfort. Heaps of power if you want it. Porsche do go that extra mile with thought into style/ comfort/ class. Very reliable if you keep up with regular services. Love my Porsche Cayenne.

least reliable car I have ever owned

comfortable, fast and totally and completely unreliable. Transmission shifting issues, batteries die, electrical issues, parking sensors burn out, vacuum booster issues, air suspension issues, cd player eats CD's, and engine uses oil, runs hot on a warm day. No room in back seat. Can hear trailer through the hitch. German engineering??? Really???

Stylish and Comfortable

This car is so luxurious, yet very reliable and comfortable. It is very powerful and can get through even the toughest winters. The design is very nice and its my favorite car I've ever owned.

Beautiful monster

It's beautiful but I wouldn't do it again. It doesn't feel luxurious, instead, this is a sporty feeling SUV. Typical soccer mom digs.
