Driving in comfort and reliability.
No problems, high performance, high comfort, fabulous features, good gas mileage. I enjoy driving this vehicle. Best vehicle I have owned. It meets all my needs and needs for my family. Comfortable and dependable for long road trips. Roomy and comfortable for back seat passengers also.

It is a very reliable vehicle. I feel safe to drive my family in it.
I like that it is large enough for my family. I like that it is safe. Also it is a good looking SUV. My only complaint is the AC makes too much noise.

The vehicle is surprisingly fast.
Tire sensors are sensitive and act up. Other than that no other issues. It drives and handles great. The car drives smooth. The vehicle feels very safe. The seats are comfortable. There is plenty of room for the whole family. The car looks great. The inside is classy.

Great car, great system, weird login.
First of all - the car looks great. The classic Porsche design is amazing both inside and outside. The touchscreen system is intuitive and easy to use, and there is no problem changing between music and navigation. One thing wrong about this car comes at no fault of the manufacturer, but the system asks to 'log in' with the mobile app. There is usually no time for me to do these kinds of things, but it was a hassle to get it settled and ready to drive.

Its a speed machine and it feels very safe. The cayenne definitely delivers you to places in style.
I love the exterior look, it's very sleek and commanding. I like the interior as well, it's very beautiful and I really do not have any dislikes at all.
accountCircle Sessa S
Magnificent and beautiful. It is expensive, probably more than the value of its kinds, but it is also one of the most sturdy cars
Love the look, the drive and the features. Don't like the unpredictability of software issues

Only car I'll own, favorite car to drive.
Great car. Great performance, quick. Reliable. Very comfortable. . What I love most is that I always feel safe and secure in this car. It is fast when I need it to be and always sturdy and solid. Also, great customer service... They care about their customers. Always helpful.

Dependable all the time every time.
Sporty, but still a SUV. Great drive in all road conditions. Never gets stuck in the snow and grips the road nicely in the rain. Would be nice to have a longer warranty or have some service included with the purchase. This is my 5 Porsche product and I am very happy with the product.

Great performing car and great safety.
It has very good performance it is very safe and reliable it has a high quality engine. I trust the safety of this car. It has the latest technology to include backup camera, and backup sensors. The base model is the one I have and the features it includes and far beyond any other base model pre owned car that I have purchased.

Luxury car but amenities are too complicated.
The car looks very nice, and the interior is very comfortable. However, it does not have enough basic car amenities for me. I wish it did things like show the temperature outside, show how many miles I have left before running out of gas, have an easier way to connect to Bluetooth, etc.
