Porsche Cayenne Reviews

Sorry to hear your Porsche was unreliable for you... I guess I'll just keep driving my Toyota Corolla! 70,000 miles and no issues!

What a pain that you had to change the brake pads every 12,000 miles... my Corolla has the original pads and rotors at 70,000 miles, and they still have another 35,000 miles left!

Tires every 10,000 miles? Gosh... my first set of tires lasted 57,000 miles.

But you must be right, a Corolla is a terrible car, so I guess I'll trade it in on a BMW... HA!

I must be a lucky man. I did not have too many problems with mine.

I bought my 2005 Cayenne Turbo with 85000 miles. I now have 109000.

I replaced the brake pads, plugs, air cleaner, cleaned the mass airflow sensors. Installed K&N filters. Replaced 2 lower control arm bad bushings.

This is a great handling SUV. I go offroad with it; Pismo Beach in California, El Mirage Dry Bed Lake. Drove it at 157mph there. I love it, it is reliable and fun to drive.

It is very bad on gas; I only get 12 miles per gallon.

I would not buy it new. I think it is overpriced like most luxury SUVs. For $20k to $25K, it is a good value used.

When you replaced the lower control arms, did it stop shaking? My steering wheel is shaking at 60 to 85 mph. Nobody knows what it is. Thanks.

The Cayenne is just a fancy Volkswagen Touareg in disguise, so what did you expect?

What did I expect? Are you kidding me? It sounds like you work for Porsche. The truck is worth $140,000. What would you expect for that price range? It's got nothing to do with whether you think it's a Toureg in disguise or not. It's to do with what one should get in return for the price. Why would Porsche think it's acceptable to install such inferior parts on what is supposed to be a prestige automobile. I just wish Porsche would step up to the plate and admit they're wrong and recall my vehicle. But that's not going to happen any time soon because it would break them. It would be a miracle if they agreed that testing products on the backs of their clients isn't an acceptable practice. They're only scaring away clients. But with past experience with them, they couldn't care less.

The Cayenne is Porsche's highest selling vehicle ever, not combining the various generations of the 911. They've made a quick killing on selling that vehicle. But, the car's themselves were not all that great in terms of reliability. It was new technology for Porsche... and VW for that matter. They are not about to take responsibility for their learning curve. For those rich enough, you can buy a new IMPROVED version of the Cayenne and dump your old one. You can pick up used Cayenne Turbos for $35k US all day long.

I am a owner of a Porsche Cayenne Turbo, which I bought as new in 2004 in Denmark. Here the prices are up to 3 times those of the rest of the world because of tax, meaning that the car cost 500.000 USD, and that is the truth.

Unfortunately, I 100% agree with the other guy who also has a Cayenne. I have had practically all possible mistakes on my car, and Porsche has not taken responsibility for anything. Even most people I know with the same car have had the same mistakes, and expensive ones like change of transmission, change of cooling system, and all imaginable electric problems. I think I have changed everything that requires electricity in that car. All in all, a very sad story, even though the car drives like a dream when it is driving.

It is like the old story about Jaguar; you need two, so you have one to drive when the other is in the repair shop.
