This Year's Model Updates:

Porsche adds a new style this year. Labeled the Cayenne Turbo S, this version is now the range-topping model and it boasts superior performance to the Turbo. Its V8 is capable of 520 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque, and it also comes with a firmer state of suspension tune, more powerful brakes and a revised stability control system. Other changes for the Porsche Cayenne lineup this year include a new electronic logbook, a preheating and pre-ventilation feature for the climate control system, a trace-back feature for the navigation system, wider rear wheels and upgraded front airbags.

Pros:
  • Exemplary performance on the street, packed with the latest hardware and luxury features, opulent cabin, solid towing capacity.
Cons:
  • Sacrifices some off-road ability in its quest for maximum performance, you have to pay a little extra for the name.

  • Class In Itself - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    The Porsche Cayenne turbo is a great SUV. It gets the looks and questions like any other Porsche. Off roading isnt its best feature though. I prefer the Range Rover over this truck and that is why I traded it in. The Cayenne had a lot of oversteer in icy conditions. The Ranger Rover isnt as fast with the super charger, but it uses the same amount of gas and is actually more comfortable. The head room is also better in the Range Rover, but build quality is better in the Cayenne Turbo. The AWD is OK in the Cayenne, but its same as Audis. If standing out is your game and speed is the key, get a Cayenne, but for practicality and pure off road use go for the Range Rover.

  • Customer Service is not top priority - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    I too have had many paint issues with my Porsche Cayenne. The paint is way too soft. I have had the paint looked at by three professional painters and all three agree that it is a poor paint job. I have vioced my concerns to Porsche Customer Care and all they could do was have a representative call me that wanted to blaim me for the damage. I tried to call them back and they told me there was no one else to speak too. The flat paint line should be removed as an option. I have spoken to other Cayenne owners and the ones that have the metallic paint are fine. All flat colors have issues. I sympathize with the other owner I sure know what you are going through.

  • Not a good Porsche model - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    The car runs hit and miss (stalls). Its steering and overall performance are not up to Porsche standards. The radio is cheap (speakers are fine) and finding a well trained service dept. is a challenge. After communicating my concerns with the Porsche people in the corporate NA Headquarters in GA as well as the dealer and service personel I would not recomend this car. I have owned two Porsches before but it seems the company has changed in both quality and service.
