Super Cool Car

I love this car, great value and it meets all my expectations. Lord will, I will always own a Porsche Cayenne. I had the V6 base, now I own the S.

Well worth the performance- even in base form

Very quick and solid car to drive. Very solid on turns, able to tow, take off the road, plenty of space. Lots of the features you're looking for in a luxury car. Very comfy seats.

Best Car I've Owned.

Drives like a sportscar, can tow like a ox, blazes past Jeeps stuck in the snow and looks good doing it. This car can does everything and does it well.

Cayenne Turbo? Yes Please

So you like fine automobiles, yet you need to haul around people because you're in real estate, have dogs(or kids - same thing but dogs are cleaner), and also need to tow your boat and/or race car trailer while all of your neighbors watch with the jaws on the floor? This is the car for you. Drives like a Porsche - you mash the accelerator and it GOES, (also your gas needle goes down each time but Porsche V8 Turbo hello?!?! Worth it), the interior has held up very well over time, love my optional suede headliner and BOSE speakers. Downsides are: the inevitable Cardan Shaft repair, Porsche will tell you to replace the whole shaft but ECS tuning has a repair kit and knowledgeable technician can fit it for you; no Bluetooth (really Porsche?!? It's a 2008! Come ON! Get some Millennials on your team); Fuel economy is equal to a truck; You'll do brakes every 2 years or so (ECS Tuning has a great kit that's affordable). The enjoyment, versatility and fun of driving and using this car far outweighs the bad - nobody's perfect right? I have over 150K on mine and it still drives like a new car, and it looks damn good too.

A lot of car, few others can match

One of the few vehicles you can drive up to the mountains, to the race track, tow an Airstream, off-road, and to a fancy dinner. Probably won't win in all these categories, but no other car but a Range Rover and select luxury SUVs can even compete.

Best Performance for your Money!

Wish it had more modern stereo outputs/inputs like Aux or Bluetooth for your phone to play music etc. Can't beat performance, especially for the price. I've had no issues with mine, bought used this year.

Most fun and reliable car I have ever owned!

In a nutshell, this car ROCKS! Its fast, the handling is simply beyond amazing! The only drawback is that it is a V8 and it does require 91 fuel... and it loves to eat fuel. Aside from that... tires are costly... no major issues ever. Love it. The interior electronics does look a bit aged and out dated. The ride is a bit stiff... since Porsche after all is a high performance sports car co... not a luxury car company :)

Great Driving Exprience

This a great driving car, especially using the sports mode. The driving and power feels a lot better than MB ML350. The only drawback is the rear sit isn't the most comfortable.
