Beautiful Porsche Cayenne

I was able to locate a very rare 6sp Porsche Cayenne w/40K miles. The car is stunning, Blue w/tan interior, is fun to drive and fit and finish are impeccable. The technology is amazing to me (coming out of a 17 year old BMW 540i)

2011 Porsche Cayenne

I love the car, it's sporty V6 and eight-speed automatic work well together, Interior fit and finish is impeccable, with high-quality leather and brushed aluminum trim. A perfect sporting SUV, meeting in the middle to provide the right balance of performance and driver comfort.

Eounugh Room Sport Car

If you looking for enough room and sport driving both, here is the answer. I have Cayenne S with most of options such as 911 turbo 21' wheel, ACC, Panorama roof, PASM, and more. I raced with my friend's SUV that BMW X5 and Mercedes GL. I won on both race LOL. It would be different which X5 and GL but mine is not turbo neither.

Nicest car I've owned

The Cayenne S is just plain amazing. Drives like a sports car with the versatility of a small suv. I went from an Armada to this. Lost space but don't miss it. Way too much fun to drive. I have two kids and all 4 of us have room. Sometimes you get what you pay for!

Best Vehicle I own

The Cayenne Turbo has just the right combination of comfort, performance, luxury, and utility. The ability to lower the height is nice to access a roof rack, and the suspension settings make a big difference. The "sport" mode makes it handle like a sports car, but with four seats and a back end, I can't often take advantage of it without upsetting occupants! All the controls are intuitive and easy to access- you won't need to use the owner's manual. It looks great, even with a roof rack, and everything is solid and tight- no rattles or chintzy plastic parts that will break. The screen in the gauge cluster can be configured for audio, settings, nav, maps, trip info, etc. and it's a big help to have right in your vision when driving versus the center console.

unbelievable

Have had my Cayenne now for 2 months. Chose the Cayenne over the x5 and very glad I did. Performance with the Cayenne S is superb. Exterior and interior styling are second to none. Mine is loaded and it is the only way to go. My only complaint is the ride is a little rough but it is a Porsche. If you can afford it buy it, you will not be disappointed. The Cayenne S has plenty of power , not worth the extra 40k for the turbo.

There is only one affordable high end brand

Overall my wife loves the car. I can see why. We purchased the v-6 but the power and performance are respectable. Enough for her given daily chores and the like. Consider the v-6 strongly if you are considering the porsche hybrid. My wife was seeing better than 28 hwy on a recent trip. The only knock so far is that the upgraded seats require so adjusting...my wife is short so the car requires so adjusting to fit a shorter person.

There is no substitute!

Bought a V6 cayenne 1 week ago. I have owned many cars BMW's, corvettes, mercedes, lexus. This car has the most beautiful interior out of all of them. Very high class. Gorgeous exterior also. Plenty of power with the V6 especially if you place it in sport mode. Very precise steering. Car feels solid. Contoured seats feel like you are in a sports car.

Regret purchasing a Cayenne S 2011

I bought the 2011 Cayenne S in Oct. 2010. It is true it takes a lot of oil. I was getting nervous when the engine oil came on couple of times. Also, my Cayene S has no basic options. I owned a Cayenne 2008 and that had all the options i wasn't looking for. The engine noise is annoying to listen to. I asked the service dept. but they said it was normal. But the toggle noise when you stop the car is a pain. Also, I intstalled heated seats and there was a problem with it the day i picked up the car. How unprofessional is that!!!! It was at the shop for 6 days and had to bring it back again. PLUS it was an outside job which they had to drive the car some place else and they used over 50 miles on my car and used all the gas. There goes another 50 miles used and gas. UNBELIEVABLE. Overall, I liked the 2008 Cayenne compared to the 2011.

I got what i paid for.

i just picked up my 2011 Cayenne Turbo last Wednesday. WOW! the performance is solid. although the steering is a bit stiff, but what else can you expect from a 500 hp suv. it handles very well it is a very balanced car. i pushed it around corners and it responded amazing. i really have no complains about this car... well maybe the fact that i did spend 140 on it. But i did get what i paid for. nothing less nothing more.
