  • Great SUV - 2004 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    I purchased the Cayenne after owning two Landrover Discos. The second one was a complete lemon (blown engine, 3 wiring harnesses, constant wind noise in the windshield that no one could find the cause of). I traded it in for the Porsche and have found that you can have it all. It drives like a sports car with all the room and space of an SUV. Actually look forward to my commute to and from work. All in all, Im very satisfied with the build and performance of the Cayenne.

  • Long term observations - 2004 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    Mileage is 18 highway at best due to the excessive weight of the car and the big V-8. Overall driving impressions over the past 4 years rate this SUV as med-high. It has a stiff/harsher ride for the rear passengers as the seats do not cushion as well and are over the rear tires.

  • 911 of SUVs - 2004 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    The 911 I drive in the summer is a blast; thought Id have to give that fun up for upper Midwest winters. No way! The Cayenne Turbo has a feel surprisingly close to that of my base model 911 (No S, no turbo, no PSM), and I can still haul my family up north for skiing. I finally enjoy long car rides with my tots in the back!

  • Trouble - 2004 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    First let me say that from the day that I bought the car, there was something very wrong with the allignment. After taking it in 3 or 4 times with the same problems, I was getting frustrated to say the least. Up until this point, everything was "under warranty." Suddenly, when I took the Cayenne infor an oil change & to fix te ongoing problem--when I picked up my car, the bill was $700 for an oil change & balance. Right then I decided to trade it in before something incrediblewent wrong!!

  • Sports Car Excitement in an SUV - 2004 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    I also own a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. So stepping into an SUV like the Cayenne S with the family does not mean I have to give up the fun of driving a sports car. The handling is almost as tight as the Carrera. There is no lack of passing speed and the seats are some of the most comfortable Ive seen in an SUV. The hardest decision is which one to take out when it is just the wife and I. The braking and safety features are second to none.

  • great car ! - 2004 Porsche Cayenne

  • less than expected - 2004 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    The lock on the door would not engage. In addition, a piece of plastic on my steering wheel broke off and needed to be replaced.But in order to replace the piece of plastic,a whole new air bag in the steering wheel needed to be replaced.I could not use my new porsche for 2 weeks and was subsequently given a Mitsubisi loaner. As you can understand, somewhat of a let down!

  • I Would Buy this SUV Again - 2004 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    The Cayenne lacks only in on two areas; interior style and the back end, which looks a bit boxy. Other than that it is an amazing vehicle. Its fast, its built well, and it handles like a sports car. I love driving this car/SUV. It gets more fun everyday which is unusal. I would buy this over any SUV in its class.

  • An SUV Sports Car - 2004 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    I was hesitant to purchse this vehicle because initially I did not like to exterior appearance. However, the minute I got behind the wheel I was sold. This car is a machine. It has the performance of a luxury sports car with the added performance of a SUV. I currently drive a 740IL, and the jaguar sports car and I must say that the porche is the most fun.
