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.

  • Need for speed..in an SUV??? - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    I just bought the Porsche Cayenne Turbo in titanium with black interior. I wish I would have gotten black with aluminum air intakes. The titanium doesnt look excellent with the aluminum air intakes but it does give it an aggressive look. I didnt want to wait for a Turbo S so I bought the Turbo. Its acceleration is amazing and 3 setting for ride are great (comfort, normal, sport. and ajustable ride height). It is a bit bouncey but its a 450 hp SUV!

  • Best SUV on the Market - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    This is the best SUV in this class. Every dollar is worth it. Before I bought this, I drove a BMW X5 and a Mercedes ML 350. They do not compare to the Cayenne. Its gas mileage is excellent. This is the best SUV you can get.

  • Porsche Cayenne: Best SUV - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    The Porshe Cayenne is by far the best SUV made on this planet. Not only is the SUV fun to drive but it is also a very safe car. The four wheel drive is AWESOME. My family and I were driving to the airport in HEAVY SNOW. WE went in our Range Rover and I was driving but it was nearly impossible to stay on the road it was the worst snow storm i have ever been in. So, I turned around to go back home, and we switched to the Cayenne......when i got back on the road with it i was able to pass people go in the upper 80s without any trouble.(no joke)Now moving on to the fun part of driving it. This SUV is VERY FAST AND GREAT HANDLING GREAT BREAKS 0-62 in 5.2 sec. And i have had no problems.

  • A pleasure to drive (6 Cyl) - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    I test drove a 4Runner and an MDX. The Cayenne was just too fun to pass up. I bought used from a dealer who provided additional 2 years CPO warranty. The tiptronic in manual mode gives adequate pep but my wifes Avalon is still faster 0-60. Passes well on the highway. Exhaust note is a nice touch - except when listening to music. No tow bar installed yet but it is planned so hope there is enough power. The park assist option is both handy and annoying but it can be turned off by pushing a button. Everyone seems to agree the cup holders are too small. Can idle rough after cold start if fuel < 93 octane. Overall I just love driving this vehicle and have had no problems after 3 months.

  • I love my Cayenne - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    Ive been driving my 2006 Porsche Cayenne for 6 months. It has never had any problems. It has great pick up and is a joy to drive. My last car was a Land Rover and nothing inside made sense. The entire cabin of my Cayenne was designed with comfort and ease in mind.

  • Better than my X5 - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    My Porsche Cayenne rides very well. It has just enough power, but could use a little boost. It handles better than my last vehicle (a 2003 X5) and stops better too. This SUV looks great, and its paint job is much better than the one on my X5 too. Its sound system isnt great, I should have gotten the upgraded Bose. It leases for almost exactly what the X5 loaded does. It is a nice change.

  • Super SUV - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    This is what you get when you want a supercar, but are looking for versatility and comfort. It drives like a sports car, it can beat most of them out there, comfort for 5. When youre driving up the mountain for some R&R at the lake, there is no better car to get that fun drive and bring along your family and gear! Name one other besides a Maserati 4 door? Porsche is known to be one of the only reliable sport cars, think Lambo, Ferrari, Aston Martin, would you buy any of them with over 80,000 mile on them? Porsche sells with no issues with high mileage for a reason! This is the top pick when buying the SUV of your dreams!

  • Cayenne S Excellent Family / Sports SUV - 2006 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    I bought a Porsche Cayenne about three weeks ago and simply love it. It has great handling as well as a sports car feel. It is not the best on gas, but what V8 is these days. Unless you get lost often, the navigation system is about $2,000+ and not a lot of fun after the first week. The moonroof is nice at night. This truck provides overall great performance and it is practical as well.
