This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Sports car performance, available adjustable ride height and suspension damping control, name cachet.
Cons:
  • More expensive than its direct competitors, some fussy interior controls.

  • Is this really an SUV? - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    I have owned many Porsches & many other SUVs. After owning this vehicle for only 2 weeks, I had little trouble letting my 2002 C4S (my most favorite car EVER) go to the secondary market. Id like to see ANY other manufacturers vehicle hold the resale value that the C4S brought in the secondary market. While the Cayenne may not be all things to all people, it serves ALL of my transportation needs while providing a great value proposition.

    altimate SUV handles like 911 except that I could still have my baby, husband and friends in the car. It is fun, fast, and elegant. I love it.

    This SUV will make a guy feel like he just ate testosterone pills by the handful. So much power, reminds me of my 70 Roadrunner 440-6pak, sounds almost the same at idle or under full power. Buy the Titanium Gray, looks so upscale on this rig.

    After torturing my wife with test drives and performance reviews I finally decided on the Cayenne S. I was tempted to go for the turbo, but who really needs a 450 hp SUV? If someone is willing to take their SUV over 150 to beat me then they deserve to win...

    Just purchased the S on 3-15, trading in an X5. I think it is much more attractive in person, but is predicated on the wheels. 20 inch Turbo wheels are a must.I did the Titanium Grey with two tone grey interior, the best combo.

    This is the finest vehicle I have ever driven. The turbo provides great power and performance. The ride is smooth in all the choices of ride. The interior is very comfortable. Must be driven to appreciate the handling and performance.

    One of the best vehicles I have even driven.The feel and handling are amazing.

  • Cant stop driving it - 2003 Porsche Cayenne
    By -

    Just bought a Cayenne S 10 days ago and already 1,200 miles on! Cant stop driving it. Great ride according to the 15 people who "begged" for a spin. After 1000 miles its sound changes noticeably -- may I dare to say like a tiger? really cool. Great looks too: get it black inside black outside -- the "only" combination that works I think. Very aggressive looks. GPS system is amazing. Tiptronic is fun. Gas is OK (18 mpg on highway) and the tank is huge so you dont feel like youre always going to the pump.
