    A lot of extras on this car

    Great car. Nice interior with lots of features.Good exterior looks and see very few on the road. Like the heated and cooling seats. Plenty of rear leg room.

    The most comfortable car you will ever ride in.

    Really great passenger car with room for a medium dog in the back. Fast with a sleek look. Handles well on the backroads and in the city.

    So Far So Good

    Definitely everything it is supposed to be and handles winter without hesitation. Also owned an MDX and used to think that was the best winter vehicle I had driven but not true anymore.

    A vehicle one must own or at least test drive!

    While I cannot change the past, now I want to imagine that I have always driven a Porsche or at least Cayenne from the time it was launched. Cayenne looks awesome and drives smoother than a knife cutting through butter. Extremely comfortable to drive short or long distance with lots of comfort options.

    The Porsche Cayenne

    I love the way car handles the road. Handles turns really well and it grips the road well.I love the interior look of the 2018 cayenne. So glad it is not too electronic like some of the other cars.

    Probably the most comfortable car I've ever owned

    Good looking and I purchased the dark green which is rarely seen except for special paint and while its expensive it is beautiful and I've never had any problems. I've rent other cars and I've had a 911 S and Macan and no other brand has lived up to it for comfort.

    Best of Both Worlds

    Primary goal was to get an luxury SUV. Looked at Escalade, Range Rover (this is me rolling my eyes), Q7, X5--(which is what I totally expected that I would end up with and my logic driven brain kept telling me to buy), XC90, F-Pace, etc.. And then I decided to throw the Cayenne in there just to do my "due diligence". A buddy of mine was telling me all morning not to do it because he said you're not going to want anything else. I thought to myself, I'm a rational, logical person, I can handle objectively making this decision...I was wrong! NOTHING, I mean NOTHING drives like a Porsche. That's number 1. Number 2, now I can drive a Porsche AND an SUV?!? Rainbows and unicorns people, rainbows and unicorns. LOVE the interior, especially the molded seats. I have the 2018 Base Platinum edition. Came with everything I wanted all the bells and whistles for a reasonable price. This point is important. I live in Houston. It's hot here. Trying to find an X5 or XC90 with ventilated seats was impossible. They kept telling me to order a custom build from the factory, which would be MORE than what I paid for the Cayenne. And to get all the same bells and whistles on the Q7, same price as the Cayenne. Dollar for dollar, the Cayenne is actually the best value. And I'm a finance guy saying that. I do find that the Base model not in "sport" mode is a little more sluggish than I would sometimes anticipate or like but then again, all the power I need is the touch of a button away. I came out of a Genesis R-SPEC that had 419 HP, so besides buying the Turbo or GTS, not much can touch that kind of power and speed anyway. And the dealership (both sales and service) experience is 2nd to none. Truly, other manufacturers can learn something from these guys. Single worse thing about the Cayenne (as part of the Volkswagen diesel settlement), the "auto start/stop" function defaults to the "on" position and it is not a setting you can save. In other words, if you want the auto start/stop function to be off, you have to manually turn it off every time you start the car...I blame Volkswagen for that one. I've had mine 3 months and I know that my next vehicle will be a Porsche, no doubt.

    Great but

    I really enjoyed driving it, it;s very sportsy and the new console is excellent Powerful and fast take the turns very tight The rear passengers though didn;t enjoy it at all it was too compact and firm. SO it looks like it's a good choice for a couple but not really if you plan on long trips The price is also much higher than the Q7 that I ended purchasing and see for yourself but the Q7 3.0 is faster than the Cayenne ... offers a much better comfort to the passengers and has a bonus rear row seats. I'll probably buy a panamera over the cayenne

    Best SUV Ever

    I love my recently purchased Porsche Cayenne. It looks more sporty than any of the other boxy SUVs on the road. The interior is awesome and the seats are so comfortable. Unlike the Macan, the back seats are roomy and comfortable. I?ve had Land Rover and Mercedes SUVs in the past and the Cayenne is by far the best!
