Porsche is King

Porsche Cayenne is an excellent vehicle. Perfect performance, solid, smooth drive. Porsche today is what BMW was 20 years ago. They build perfection.

One of the best Premium SUVs!

Very roomy, powerful and fun to drive. Nice balance of practicality and a sporty DNA. Though a little on the pricey side, its the fun of driving a Porsche engine that will justify the extra money.

Best vehicle I've owned!

This is my first Porsche and it has been an outstanding SUV. Wife absolutely says this is most comfortable vehicle ever! The S model with V-8, Burmester Stereo, heated/ventilated seats, and much more is just a fantastic daily driver or great road trip vehicle. Just think about driving in extreme luxury with a kick, the V-8 will get you on the hwy in a flash. Add in the Porsche Entertainment System and you can entertain kids or adults with a dual movie theater in your back seat. SUV handles like a large sports car and is safe in any weather conditions. Overall, great vehicle. If there is any downside, maintenance is expensive, but you probably figured that out if your buying a Porsche. Other suggestion is buy used, get a great deal on a car with 3-5 years on it and enjoy without paying a house payment.

Super Enjoyable Car

This is my second Porsche, having owned a 1998 Boxster. I think it's quite impressive how far they've come on these more mass produced models. The comfort, performance, fit and finish are all excellent. I also test drove a 2016 model which handled even sharper so it really seems like they're continuously improving.

Porsche Cayenne, Luxury and Performance

This car drives fantastic! Fast, sporty, yet comfortable. Car is roomy, yet could use a little more room in the console area for "stuff".

Luxury and Performance in one sleek package

If you are looking for a luxury, high performance vehicle that is fun to drive, the Porsche Cayenne is for you. I love the different drive modes (Standard, Comfort, and Sport, plus what I call "double sport"). Very comfortable ride.

Love the Porsche performance

This is our second Porsche. The first, a 2016 Macan S, is great fun to drive, but not a lot of space when vacationing. High performance, complicated controls, in a small car. I love driving it. The 2012 Cayenne that we just purchased has lots more room in the rear seat and trunk, great handling, similar controls, but somewhat less performance. We love them both.

Hard to find 6sp Manual Transmission Cayenne

I've been looking for a year and half for one of these in great condition with low mileage. Its a beautiful car and one of the last manual transmissions available. The technology blows my mind (coming out of a 2000 BMW 540 Sport). Its a beautiful vehicle.
