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.

  Not Happy - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
  By sailing707 - April 24 - 2:00 am

  I have not enjoyed this car at all. They are still working out the problems with the car and the service departments are horrible. The car has been in the shop more than it has been on the road. Im going back to the X5.

  Unhappy Camper - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
  By denverowner - January 17 - 10:00 am

  My Cayenne was a joy to drive until the recalls came in..I am on my 12th recall. New computer system, new drive shaft. Tires wore out at 7K miles due to front end vibration. 2 sets of brakes. Interior trim vibrates. Rear door handles have broken off, ski door broken, wood trim has come lose. On my third set of brakes. Each set are noisy and Porsche says thats normal. Interesting design feature! Dealer cannot keep story straight and service is getting worse. Ski racks whistle so loud you have to remove to drive and keep sanity. Dealer service is the worst I have ever experienced.

  Exhilaration! - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
  By jamie83 - October 5 - 10:00 am

  This car will shave 10 years off your age faster than a White House intern. It does everything great - performance, handling, comfort, looks and gadgets. It gives the feel of total authority over the road. It is probably overpriced, but it is a better value to the equally priced S500 4MATIC. Life is short. Drive fast.

  not the greatest - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
  By tom deck - May 6 - 10:00 am

  this vehicle begins to rattle very quickly. it has a terribly high center of gravity from what you would expect from a porsche and does not even ride very well as an exchange.

  Cayenne Turbo - 3 months - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
  By ChliPwr - April 11 - 10:00 am

  Have over 3,000 miles in 3 months. Everything worked from day 1 and nothing has broken. Build quality is exceptional. Sales rep at dealer was exceptional. Used service department ro install after-market options. Their calendar is tight. Like almost everything about the car. It is everything I hoped for and more. Power is great and it handles the dirt as well as our Range Rover. Gas mileage sucks, though - 12 mpg consistently. Expected that. Takes a bit of work to get back seats down for an extended, flat stowage space in back. Feels extremely safe. Good selection of dealer options. Particularly like the rubber floor mats.

  Better than an X5 4.4 - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
  By Dr. C - February 22 - 10:00 am

  I have just had this SUV a week and just love it. I thought about buying it for 6 months,(couldnt get used to the look)After driving it there was no turning back. I owned a BMW X5 4.4 and this is hands down a better overall vehicle. I also own the Acura MDX, which I am now going to sell. I think Porsche did with a SUV what they have been doing to cars for many many years. Thats making driving fun!

  WHAT A CHANGE FROM A LANDROVER - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
  By yogidoc - January 21 - 10:00 am

  Ive been driving Discoverys for past 7 years.Looking for an suv with an edge and a sports car ride. The x- 5s are everywhere-decided on the cayenne over the infiniti fx 45 which drove great but the look was too odd.I love the look of the cayenne(low key and aggressive) However driving around Boston gives your body quite the jarring.My other disappointment was the quality and comfort of the seats. From a chiropractors perspective think twice before purchasing if you have any back problems. Landrover was MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE! But i guess thats the trade off for a sports car ride.

  From 911 Turbo to family car - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
  By Renaissance Man - January 21 - 2:00 am

  I traded in my 911 Turbo to get a Cayenne because my family has grown and I dont have the space or luxury to have a week-end car anymore. The Cayenne is an excellent daily driver with all the uniqueness of a Porsche. It has been quite the head turner, and not many cars are able to pass it on the highway. If you love Porsches and need the extra room, this car was made exactly for you. I am ecstatic with it.
