Overview & Reviews
We would've never imagined it, but Porsche jumps onto the SUV gravy train. The Cayenne, with a choice of two potent V8s and an available active suspension, promises performance that's more like a 911 than an SUV.
- Sports car performance, available adjustable ride height and suspension damping control, name cachet.
- More expensive than its direct competitors, some fussy interior controls.

Chase after your Dream ! - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By elise - June 28 - 10:00 amAir Suspension made handling on the Cayenne excellent. The appreciation came everytime you pull a high speed curve,it simply does not roll.Acceleration is quick and on demand.With its rigid body,high ground clearance and a high,low range gear combined with a lockable differential,there should be no doubt that it is a true off roader. It is 90% close to a 911(Can anyone really drive their 911 toward 100%)and it is a true off roader.This is definitely a benchmark setting schievement.In sum,if you are considering a Porsche,the Cayenne is the best choice and value for your money.

as promised ... - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By rmetzger - November 26 - 10:00 amIve been driving one Porsche after another since 1988 -- two 911s and one Boxter. Now I have a Cayenne S. I love it. It is is an astonishing accomplishment. On road, it handles much like my Carrera. Off the road, it is capable, even agile. It has room and strength, power and poise. Our family also has an X5 (6 cyl.) -- there is no comparison. Great work!

The Ultimate Baby Transportation - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By C. Reinoso - October 2 - 2:00 amIt was time to buy a new house & start a family my wife said. Poof, my 911 cab was gone! Fast forward 14 months later. The new home was purchased,the baby is here & a Cayenne is sitting in my garage. Unbelievable is what I have to say! Even the baby appreciates the Cayenne. I just strap her into the baby seat & the throaty growl from the engine puts the baby to sleep right away. On weekends, the transmission stays in automatic when the baby is on board. On weekdays on my way to work & back, its a whole different story! I never thought Id look forward to commuting each day. Thank You Porsche!!

Why drive a car? - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By DArt - July 22 - 10:00 amWhy drive a car???? When you could drive the best of both worlds!!!! Performance, performance, performance...with some function! Seats 5 and some cargo space. Drives better than most, if not all, mainstream cars on the road today. So, why drive a car? Big time head turner, especially when I pulled into the Lexus dealership. Was the envy of their sales staff!

greatest car. - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By teethdoc - July 22 - 10:00 amSold my boxster"S" and Jaguar XJ12 tobuy this. Bought turbo cause it accelerates better than the "S", although S was not too bad. My other car is a 410 hp Stillen Suburban, but it cannot touch the turbo in speed, cornering or fun. Turbo drives like a sports car, and then climbs like an true 4x4. Stillen is for camping or cruising with lots of people/luggage.

Cayenne S @ 5500 miles - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By gm austin - July 10 - 10:00 amThe Cayenne does an extraordinary job of providing sports car like handling with real off-road capability and five passenger utility vehicle functionality. I have driven the vehicle on some fairly demanding off- road trails and the Cayenne was great. On pavement performance on a winding road is also impressive. It is very predictable with fairly high cornering limits. You can also load a bunch of passengers and cargo for long, comfortable trips as well. There has never been another vehicle with this range of capability.

What you expect from Porsche Engineering - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By Larry Wilde - May 28 - 10:00 amI went to purchase a Range Rover, test drove it, finding the car typically top heavy. Being a past Porsche owner, I was reluctant to test drive the Cayenne because of its plain appearance. I was exteremely impressed with the speed and handling experience of the Cayenne, and immediately decided on the purchase. The Cayenne is a little thirsty with fuel,and the suspension is firm, but the end result is an SUV that is a blast to drive.
