2004 Cayenne SSource: Cars.com
..."I have an '04 with over 120,000 miles on it. It is the best SUV I have ever driven for comfort and ride. |

Complete SurpriseSource: Cars.com...It has incredible power with 380 horsepower, but I'm still getting almost 20 mpg in the city and I do not drive slow at all. The fact that the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid and the Panamera Hybrid share the same powertrain means that it definitely marvelous. The styling is unique, inside and out. I always get complements when I drive my car. I am actually excited everytime I have to go somewhere. I do not plan on giving this car up anytime soon. If you are in the market for a Cayenne, check this car out first because it definitely is worth the money, and the Cayenne is looking quite cheap these... |

Pushing 85,000 miles and only one bad tube!!Source: Cars.com...Though a lot of you would say "OMG" to that price, I feel like after 6 years of wonderful reliability, that this cost is minor!! Though none the less it was a fault, which dropped my score a bit...other than this, this vehicle has seen ICE, SNOW, WHITE OUT BLIZZARDS, and much more and still tears it up as if it was brand new. As another reviewer said, you get what you pay for...maintenance costs are high on this vehicle, but hey it's a PORSCHE!! If you have bought or are thinking of buying a Cayenne then you should already know it's LUXURY and that does bring with it a large price tag no... |

Suv With Ooomph!Source: CarGurus...This can be overcome by simply shifting the gears manually but for a car of this price point you should not have to do so. I believe the new 2011 cayenne turbo has an 8 speed transmission and much better gear mappings as well as much better gas mileage, I'd suggest you buy the new 2011 and not bother with the older 2005-2010 models. As a further update, I purchased the 2011 cayenne turbo and all the issues of the 2005 are addressed and more. The car gets much better mileage (18/24) due to the 8 speed transmission. The transmission shift patterns are much better so no turbo lag and there is a... |

Cayenne Rocks!Source: Edmunds
...I bought my 2006 CPO in 2010 and love it. It has been incredibly reliable and it drives like a sports sedan. |

Pretty good so far...Source: Cars.com
..."Well it is really expensive. So you would think you could go at least 1000 miles with out the check engine light going on. |

Why should I also consider these?
In our opinion, the Infiniti FX35 and FX50 are the closest rivals to the base Cayenne on the road—although it doesn't offer any off-road ability like the Porsche.
The Cayenne doesn't feel quite as agile, but the FX makes some sacrifices in packaging and ride quality for its styling-and-performance focus.
The Q7 is significantly larger inside than the Cayenne and comes with an available third-row seat; this past year it also got a more fuel-efficient supercharged V-6 in place of a V-8.
BMW's X5 (and X5 M) are also possibilities, but the X5 has not in recent years been as quick and nimble as the rest of BMW's vehicles.
The Range Rover Sport, like the Cayenne, offers a combination of on-road performance and off-road ability, though it's a letdown on many counts, with an aged design and cramped quarters.
One other interesting alternative is the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8; with a 470-horsepower V-8 and straight-line performance that rivals the Cayenne Turbo—at a price that's less than the Cayenne S.
