Read this before you buy!
Pros: 500 hp + style + comfort and handling..WoW
Cons: $800 per month insurance.
I loved this machine from the first day I picked it up. Its beyond the best, It will blow you away.
If you can afford it then RUN to buy it, don’t try to save buy buying the S because you’ll be sorry after for not buying the BEST.
The best ever SUV …and just Porsche can do it.
Pros: PDCC, Driving experience, performance, comfort, quality, style
Cons: Price, comsumption in city.
I received my new Cayenne Turbo last september and I just can say that it’s a real Porsche. This is my third porsche, and its amazing the driving experience you can enjoy behind the wheel.
It’s powerful, comfortable, turns like a Porsche, looks great, very high level of quality and its just the best ever SUV launched till the moment. The price is very high but you are paying for a unique SUV. The comsumption will depend on your right foot, you can get 14 l/ 100kms if you drive soft with a steady speed of 150Kms/H, or on the other it can rise till 18-20L/100 kms if you drive more agressively or in the city.
Cayenne turbo do not like the city…..it feels like a shark closed in an Oceanarium.
Fun Car
Pros: Power, Leather Color Choices and Aluminum Trim, Sport Button
Cons: Not as comfortable as a BMW, Stock Wheels, Pricey Options
Out of an H3 and into this. Blew my mind. Feels like a 5 Series BMW on the road. Great handling and cornering. Great speed off of the corners too. I have done lots of mountain driving and this car has no problem climbing. Rear end space is suprisingly bigger than the H3. Much easier to get the kid out the car see too.
Power Vs. Space, $18K Vs “S”
Pros: Nice looking in & out, Powerful V8 engine and good handling
Cons: limited space at the back but good size of cargo space
Used to have L350 and L3, but always looking at a cayenne whenever someone drives by. Finally decided to test drive the base model and my wife and i love it so much, on the way back to the parking lot and I saw a S parked there and I asked if we can try the S. Once you have tried the S, you wouldn’t want to even think of the Turbo. $18K difference between the base and the S, that’s a second brand new Honda car, but I just can’t let go of the S. I told my wife, not S, no Cayenne, finally she said “YES”.
After 2 months drive, everything seems so perfect except two areas that I would like to share.
1) Limited space at the back row, since I have a baby car seat at the back, I have to move the passenger seat forward to give a bit more room for my 3 year old kid and she keep kicking the back of the passenger seat, that’s how small the space is.
2) The GPS is kind of complicated or I should say you have to press more keys or bottom than those portable ones which they have touch screen that makes easier when inputting address.
Other than the two areas above, this S is the best SUV in the market, and very good and professional after service at the dealer.
Just an amazing car
Pros: incredible ride — comfortable, yet handles very well, very powerful, looks great
Cons: gas mileage not great, but what do you expect with a 4.8l v8 that produces 385hp?
Bought this for my wife a few months ago, and I just love to drive it. This may be the best mass-market car ever built — it is certainly the best car I have ever driven. The car is not for the faint hearted. It has incredible power, especially in sport mode, or when using the tiptronic, and the dashboard controls are more technical than straightforward — but everything still makes sense. You will often be surprised that you are driving an SUV — it doesn’t handle anything like any SUV you’ve ever driven.
You will likely get more looks and more comments in this car than any other car you’ve ever driven. With 21″ factory rims, and the wheel arch extenders, this car is a looker.
The best suv
Pros: Everything
Cons: nothing
Its an amazing suv thats 0-60 in 5 and with great porsche performance its unbeatable whether its styling performance or comfort or roominess the cayenne wins in all those areas
Best Lux SUV
Pros: Best Lux SUV on the Market
Cons: None
Just picked up one this week. No fuel pump noise noticed. Performance is better then I remember from my Apr07 test drive. Get the Bose Sound System option and wood trim, both worth the extra $$. 17″ wheels look good too and offer a better/smoother ride; I had planned to upgrade the 17s to larger chrome wheels, but like the 17s as is.
A solid car that is fun and relaxing to drive.
Pros: Over all performance is outstanding; i.e. handling, braking, acceleration, etc.
Cons: none.
I have driven many SUV’s, owned a Tahoe, H1 Hummer, BMW M5 and a variety of other cars and 4wd trucks. I have been looking for the right vehicle for me for months. The Cayenne S is a very nice mix of SUV and sport feel. It keeps you comfortable physically, mentally and emotional. There are no surprises. You feel very safe, as though you could handle any road or traffic threat or hazzard. The interior is uncluttered, clean, easy to use and sensable. Viablity is very good. It is a fun and relaxing car to drive.
Great Car with ridicuously expensive options
Pros: comfort, pleasent exhaust, Looks, Kids love it
Cons: EVERY LITTLE THING IS AN OPTION, Not OUTSTANDING Handling, Gas Mileage worse then expected,
I love my new Cayenne S, but I have to say after looking at it for quite some time, it looks like a frog?? Well, just gotta look past that. It gets many head turns, its a BLAST to drive but god my wallet disagrees. Another thing that drives me nuts is that EVERY LITTLE THING IS AN OPTION. Nav is near $2000, Embrodering the PORSCHE CREST in the Headrests is $350, Special Paints go near about $2500. Shouldnt stuff like this be STANDARD on a $57K German SUV?? Nope, and I see that with other German luxury Cars EVERYTHING is an overpriced option. Luckily I can afford this along with others…
buy it if you can afford it.its fun to drive
Pros: i own x5 and seqouia limited edition and my cayenne s has better fuel economy
Cons: for the price,6cd changer should come standard
powerful/quick considering the weight.i have 3 little kids and when we asked dvd entertainment to be installed we were told it would cost us about 5grand and that’s too expensive.
