First class

High up SUV first class interior looks fantastic outside runs like a champ best car ever have

Safety, this car is equipped with dozens of safety features including 4 wheel drive, airbags throughout the entire car, and if you need to get out of a bad situation, just hit the gas and you are gone.

OMG this SUV is absolutely AMAZING! It is fast, handles well and keeps my family and me safe. This is not just a car but a well engineered machine. Highly recommend.

Ablah A

It's safe and durable, and a smooth, fun ride, easy to handle.

My Porsche Cayenne is well built and a smooth ride. It handles well and has good suspension (hugs the road). There is nothing I dislike about my vehicle.

Tommy G

Reliable

Great tow vehicle and daily driver. A bit too much tech makes servicing expensive.

As he says, context matters

Good information, clearly presented. Nice job.

My favorite feature is the heated seats. The vehicle also turns on a dime.

My cayenne has almost 200k miles and runs great! It was purchased from the showroom and I am the only owner. Very little trouble with it! I would buy another one! Parts are expensive if they have to be replaced. Drives well in the snow and is efficient on gas mileage.

Luxury vehicle in the SUV models you can get hi performances or the basic model.

It could be a little more space inside, the performance is great. The gas mileage is not so good. The reliability great and the comfort of the ride and the leather heated seats, and the features of the illuminated headlights that brightens up in the Darkness and not to mention the hydraulics that Lift the car through the high water. An excellent buy.

Negative Owner Reviews

Former Cayenne Owner

Is it worth the annual repair bills?

Purchased a used 2009 Cayenne S (60k miles) in 2015 after having an inspection from the local Porsche Dealer that gave it a clean bill of health. Kept the car for 5 years and an additional 60k miles, spent $18k and a lot of time on repairs. Not sure if it was worth it.

Pros from Owners

Kayli O.

It has a Refrigerated glovebox, heated seats, sport mode, sunroof. Makes great exhaust noise when you want to go fast. Very quick and easy to drive. Roomy and looks sleek anywhere. Parking sensor, back windshield wipers.

Cons from Owners

Kayli O.

It is a Gas guzzler and has very high cost maintenance. Needs to be taken to the dealership or specialty shop if in need of repairs. The motion sensor will often go off if it is raining or snowing and the inside can take awhile to heat up in cold weather.
