the PASM air suspension and PDCC chassis control makes the car amazing to handle despite the size. And the V8 produces amazing sound and strong output. love it.. Can't live without a Porsche...

Great beginner Porsche

..."I got the Cayenne S and I love it. It's a great entry to the porsche family if you've never had one.
I have a 911 turbo as well so it's hard to compare the performance but it's a great car.
There were several issues (trunk doesn't close properly, a/c makes noise, and car sometimes wouldn't start) but all were taken care of by dealer and it runs like a beauty now."...

Why should I also consider these?

The BMW X5 boasts some degree of off-road prowess along with its good on-road handling, and it has a well-appointed interior, in addition to plenty of high-tech options such as Active Steering, but the bottom-line price, like the Cayenne's, can really add up.

The interior of the Audi Q7 is much more attractive and upscale-feeling than the 2009 Porsche Cayenne, and it has an available third row of seating, but it drives with more heft than the Cayenne and doesn't handle quite as quickly.

The Infiniti FX is priced significantly lower than the Cayenne, and it feels faster and lighter behind the wheel, with crisp handling and tight body control.

But the FX doesn't have a very comfortable ride at times, and it's rather small inside.

Finally, the most sensible vehicle on this list is the MDX, which has a very nicely appointed, comfortable interior, a smooth ride, and quite good handling, with a sporty feel that's eager and responsive but not trying to be like a sportscar.

 
2009 Infiniti FX
The 2009 Infiniti FX offers a truly distinctive shape and sportscarlike acceleration. If you need to haul plywood or lots of kids, though, look elsewhere.
 
2008 Acura MDX
The 2008 Acura MDX has a little more passion than most larger SUVs, with no less practicality.
 
2008 Audi Q7
The 2008 Audi Q7 puts a sport-ute premium on its beautifully made interior, seven-passenger seating, and sedanlike acceleration.
