Why buy anyhting else?

This has to be the most incredable car i have ever driven! The power behind the wheel is incredable! From the cayenne to the cayenne turbo s each has super powers! i have had the both a 2004 adn th new 2008 and have not ONCE had service on it! it never dies! when compaired to the "compition" (realy there is none) it DESTROYS all others! It makes the lexus crossover look and feal like a cheap little toyota! there is no other vechical that can compare, the BEAST turbo s has 550hp!!!! WHAT?! thats more than any other crossover! and u get ur money's worth! The gas miliage is great! All the benz crossovers have half the power, and yet the same gas miliage, its sad! Porsche had created the perfect car!

My next new Automobile !

I own a 2006 Cayenne Turbo and star wise, I would rate it the same. But, when I drove the 2008 Cayenne Turbo I was very impressed with the improvements (power, lack of lag, suspension and that Sport Button). I drove a Cayenne S extensively for two days and was really impressed with the improvement to the S model for all of the same reasons as the Turbo. The new GTS is really sharp and the new colors are very nice additions. Great automobiles.

Not What It Should Be

I own a Porsche Boxster S and expected better things from this car. The car has good looks and does turn a few heads. The front and rear park assist seems to be less sensitive than on other cars. You have to be very close before they start to go off. I have the V6 AWD and the acceleration is not what expected. Cabin noise is very disturbing. A great deal of creaks and squeaks. Issue with a great deal of wind noise on passenger door that the dealer says is "normal". Problem with the rear passenger seat making a "rubbing" sound. Dealer says they have had other complaints and have turned into Porsche to see how they can handle. Paint runs on hatch had to be wet sanded off right after purchase. A week later discovered that the roof of the vehicle had "spots" over the entire roof. You couldn't feel them and a detail shop could not get them off. Dealer again had to wet sand on a brand new car. Very frustrating and disturbing on a brand new high end car. I am very dissapponted with this vehicle, I expect better things when spending $54,000 for a car.

A luxurious 4x4

What I like about this car is the performance, size, off-road handling, and features. What I don't like about this car is it's seriously expensive, the looks could be bolder, and the car could be a ittle bigger actually. But overall it's great car to drive!
