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.

Why cant they build a truck - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By Currieel - July 6 - 2:00 amThis is the best adaptation of a sports car to a truck on the market ever. BMW came close but the folks at Porsche made it fit real world drive- abilty. You can ford bodies of water up to 22 inches deep and still hug a turn better than any of the leading sports sedans. At track speeds the only thing you can feel is the desire to step on the gas harder.

Maintenance money pit! - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By Sacha - February 12 - 6:36 amThis is a great fast SUV, but thats about it. The fuel mileage is terrible at average of 10 mpg for street driving. The worst part is the cost of maintenance. This has become a money with average $5000 in yearly repairs after 60K miles. Brakes cost $1400 every year. The 60K mile service costs $2500. Things start to break that are not covered by 100k Porsche maintenance warranty at average of $1800. I would stay away from this car unless you like paying Porsche for service.

It Drives Like a Porsche - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By Olivier - December 12 - 6:20 pmI bought my Cayenne used, one year old. Im quite amazed at how it holds the road for such a heavy car and the way it really handles like a Porsche. It is a very good compromise, as its first- class in every situation, perfect handling on twisty roads, very good off-road (providing the right type of tyres) and very practical. It is not a true sports car of course, but still a very good every day car.

WOW!!!!!!! - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By Quadman - December 6 - 10:00 amI have owned 2 MLs (430 & 500), Grand Cherokees and Fords. None of these SUVs are even in the same zip code as the S. Strengths- Fast (0-60 in high 6s), tight suspension that mutes big hits, ride is smooth and quite! Handling, amazing push it in corners and I detect no body lean at all, it tracks like it is on rails. Luxury, better equipped that the MLs, BMW and Lexus. Luxury and performance in one package. Gas mileage is very close to my old ML500. Porsche hit a home run with this one. As an SUV owner I really appreciate this vehicle.

Senior Citizen Says - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By Miller - July 30 - 10:00 amWe have had the car for 1500 miles. Everything about it is terrific except the transmission response in D3. It is a little flat when doing in city driving. If it is driven in Tiptronic, the transmission and the performance is awsome. The physical finishes in the car are first class.

what a car ! - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
By supergirl - June 12 - 2:00 amI love the power and looks. The interior is first class, with a lot of controls and adjustable seats. Computer readout and Porsche Crest on the computer and NAV is beautiful.
