Overview & Reviews

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.

• Exemplary performance on the street, packed with the latest hardware and luxury features, opulent cabin, solid towing capacity.

• Sacrifices some off-road ability in its quest for maximum performance, you have to pay a little extra for the name.

  Truly a Porsche! - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
  By Crazy4Carz - February 15 - 4:03 pm

  Amazing vehicle. As an owner of a 911 Cab and a 356 SC Sunroof Coupe, it only seemed appropriate to get a Cayenne as the household SUV. I strongly considered the Range Rover Sport as it is stunning, I just could not get past the truck like performance and handling. The Cayenne on the other hand is all Porsche. Nimble, quick and just plain fun to drive. Incredibly comfortable and aggressive looks with the titanium package. Love the features though the navigation and radio are not intuitive. Also, Porsche needs to package options as there are so many that it can be confusing. No excuse for not having mp3 aux jack as standard. Options are very robustly priced. Get one!

  Cayenne Rocks! - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
  By smcayenne - February 4 - 2:05 am

  I bought my 2006 CPO in 2010 and love it. It has been incredibly reliable and it drives like a sports sedan. It is the perfect size-plenty of room but I dont feel like Im driving a bus. It is incredibly responsive, great acceleration and power and true 4wd.

  Excellent SUV - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
  By matt rinard - August 4 - 5:20 pm

  This is my second Porsche Cayenne S. The Germans fixed few items since the 2003 model, such as improving the horrible keyless entry. The new one is great. The seats are a total pain in the rear to fold down, you have to take off the head rest and move the front seat forward. It only takes about three minutes but it seems like forever. The build quality is great. The handling is the best out there. The downfall is its closest competitor is the BMW free service for 3 years. The Porsche people stick it to you for the oil change...over $200 and you have to leave your car. So buy the paper filter for $15 at Porsche and go to Speedy Oil and it is only $80 but done in 15 minutes. Great car if you dont mind spending the money.

  The Beast - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
  By Greg Lewis - May 19 - 7:10 am

  A great vehicle for those who really want "sport" in their SUV. Strong, powerful & fast, the Cayenne S combines good steering feedback with excellent (sometimes squeaky) brakes. At 5300 lbs having all these benefits is fairly amazing. The ride is stiff, but that is a trade-off for exceptional cornering. The tiptronic is the best auto-manual tranny I have used. I really enjoy making the gear changes myself. If you want the best acceleration out of this car, changing manually is a must. I have already added precat bypass pipes, giving 17hp over stock. I am also eyeing a computer remap and perhaps a free-flow intake for another 30-HP. Ive owned 1988 and 1999 Carreras. Cayenne is a true Porsche.

  Not worth the money - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
  By scott - November 18 - 6:00 am

  The Cayenne is a very heavy sports car to put it kindly. Its not for the daily commute unless you enjoy being bounced around like a basketball. Gas mileage is 11mpg around town with premium. The suspension is so stiff my wifes afraid to drink her coffee on our commute. We have a 4runner that can easily hold its own with the Cayenne performance wise. My Tundra can easily keep up in a straight line. I know because I have "raced" my buddy while he drives the vehicles listed above. It currently has 17k miles and already has a tail light out. I also dont like the baby cupholders. For 70k get something with comfort and performance...its not the Cayenne.

  Not a good Porsche model - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
  By John - July 31 - 7:23 am

  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.

  Quick and Sporty - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
  By Lance - March 20 - 5:33 pm

  This truck handles great and fun to drive. It has poor fuel economy, but you dont buy this vehicle worrying about the cost of gas.

  great fun to drive, favorite car - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
  By prter w - February 15 - 11:10 am

  The Cayenne S has an incredible drive, has all the power one needs, and handles like Boxster. I love it. I also own a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a Porsche Speedster, a BMW 650 convertable, a BMW X5 and a Lincoln Navagator. Nothing compares to the Cayenne.

  Fun to drive - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
  By PAUL - July 25 - 1:10 pm

  In the last two years Ive owned two Cayenne S. Things to note the air suspension and panoramic sun roof are worth the money, plus itll sell easier with them. The reliability however is bellow par! Plan on bringing it in monthly to change every bulb, followed by something else after that.
