Luxury meets everyday fun.

The car is very reliable. I like the media interface, built in GPS navigation. The interior of the car is comfortable and spacious. It provides a good crossover between a luxury car and an everyday vehicle. The car has automated preference settings which is beneficial for a shared vehicle.

Porsche sedan. Reliable luxury car.

It is a very reliable car. I love the features it offers like in car navigation system. The interior is comfortable. It is a versatile car. Depending on how or where you drive your car it has a good gas mileage. It is a very roomy feeling interior. The car drives nicely.

Porsche cayenne is pretty good.

The car is very stable when you are driving, especially with high speed. The space inside is enough for five people. The Porsche cayenne is an excellent luxury midsize SUV. The cayenne has three lively engine choices, with horsepower topping out at 541. This SUV drives like a smaller car and tackles turns with gusto.

Powerful, beautiful family car.

Beautiful, comfortable, powerful car. Mine is from 2013 and does not get old, the engine is smooth and powerful. Each detail makes this car better than the other one on the market, the complete finish it is what makes it so great. Spacious enough for a family of 5 or 4 with teens. Good in cities or country, works well for road trip too.

My Porsche SUV, the best in class.

This has been the best auto that I have ever had, no issues, I ordered it the way I wanted it and will keep it for a while.. It is fun to drive, looks great, does not need any work on it right now and I plan to buy another Porsche soon. This time I will buy the new electric car.

Brian A

Luxury and performance, but great gas mileage.

It has been incredibly reliable, and of course being a Porsche, a blast to drive. Knock on wood, I have yet to have any issues with it and I am about to cross 100k miles. Being a diesel, I get incredible gas mileage. Sometimes almost forty on the highway. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Nicholas H

Smooth, fast, roomy, and easy handling.

I love the fast handling of the car and the speed of the Porsche. It is a smooth and fun ride. The cayenne is also roomy and so if you are doing shopping at Costco or have a family or have dogs, then it is a great car for families. The pricing is also not as costly as the other Porsche cars. I checked out the other brands like BMW and Mercedes, and they weren't as smooth as a Porsche.

Amanda S

Luxurious and fast, reliable but expensive, worth it!

My car is luxurious and has excellent pickup and handling. It was expensive, but worth it. The service is also expensive but the car is very reliable.

Negative Owner Reviews

Big problems

I special ordered this car. Loaded. Love it. But has been nothing but major problems. Within a few months of ownership the catalytic converter had to be replaced. A few months later. The mufflers got loose and had to be replaced. And at 18,000 miles, just out of warranty, the transfer case failed and had to be replaced. Insanity. We are talking about $10,000 of repairs at very low mileage. And on a vehicle that has been babied. Great performance but totally unreliable. I won’t even address all the smaller issues which are annoying as heck as well.

Driving a Porsche cayenne.

We put a lease on the car without knowing one of the censors were messed up. The comfort of the car overall is very nice, heated seats, the heat works very well as well as the air condition. We have a sunroof. Overall the car drives pretty smooth. It's pretty nice.

Pros from Owners

Holly A.

It is very safe and heavy. It handles well in the snow. It is sporty and sleek for a mid size SUV. It is comfortable for long drives. I love this vehicle! I keep to panoramic screen open all the time. The interior is sleek and luxury.

Cons from Owners

Holly A.

It needs new tires more often than I would like to put them on and they are a bit more expensive than I would like. I have to put premium fuel in it and the gas mileage is good but I would like it to be better.
