Turbo Power!!!!!! Yeah !!!! Baby !!!!!!

I own a Porsche turbo. The most badass suv on the planet. People move out of the way when they see me coming. I have nice black Porsche rims on it too. I love how all the woman wish they where in this beside me and all their boyfriends are jealous. I also paid cash for mine. Love it , drive it , feel it in your soul ! If you want to be the lady killer on the block and beat every vehicle on the road than drive a turbo. Turbo power baby !!!!! ........

Long lasting, no problems.

This has been a very reliable car. There have been few issues. It is a very comfortable car and a joy to drive. The chairs are comfortable, even in the back seat. I have had the car for 12 years and it has been virtually trouble free with regular maintenance.

Porsche needs a motor

Yes I was driving through the parking lot in the doctor's office and hit a piece of fence post steel sticking out of the ground about 2 ft totally invisible from the driver's position. It did cosmetic damage which was nothing compared to the engine damage from it pulling the oil line off the oil cooler..

Classic luxury car. White Porsche

Excellent vehicle. Well made luxury SUV. Fast and reliable. It's also fun to drive. Nicely upgraded used vehicle. My car is classic white with camel colored interior. Windows are tinted which makes it look unique. Love the car. Needs a few more upgrades.

It is not very good on gas.

I've owned the vehicle for nearly 12 years and have only changed the oil, tires and other maintenance items. I planned to get a new vehicle after 5 years but have had no reason to do so.

Awesome car. It's a white exterior, leather camel interior classic.

None the car is excellent. I purchased it used a month ago from a private seller and it works great. Needs some upgrades such as the front and back bumper. The previous owner installed a kenwood radio system with backup camera which is great. I only wish it had blind spot monitoring and keyless start.

Heated doesn’t exist

Handling is great.

4 stars - perfect, except for the display.

I have really enjoyed driving this car. It has a very smooth acceleration and deceleration. I'd never had a problem with any feature of the car, until one time when I am driving, the display that controls the music and navigation just goes black. Starting/stopping didn't fix it, and I still do not know exactly what happened.

Replace drive shaft bearing. Mine only cost $900.oo

Very fast and dependable. I didn't replace my serpentine belt when it was worn and it broke and took out some cooling line . Cost $2,200 instead of $200.00. Don't neglect maintanence. Love my turbo Cayenne. You will never have as much fun going 0-60
