2003 Porsche Cayenne review from North America
"High performance... highest maintenance of all time!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is a maintenance nightmare. Door locks, windshield wipers, radio, rattles, engine light on frequently, paint problems, front end alignment, headlight alignment, and on and on... a continual problem and more service than any car I have ever owned.
General comments?
The car handles well, the dealer has been professional, but the car can't stay out of service -- two months of ownership and 18 days in service for many different problems.
