2003 Porsche Cayenne S review from UK and Ireland
"Great V8, poor electrics and too many minor faults for £50k"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Airbag fault.
Front tyre camber wear.
Faulty headlamps, poor connection in damp.
Gearbox selector problem.
Drivetrain vibration at 60mph.
General comments?
Cayenne handles and performs well in V8 form, but seems plagued with lots of annoying faults that always require a visit to dealership, who seem to enjoy treating you like you're a pain in the ass. I have to say I've owned a few Porsches and the Cayenne seems to have had the most problems by a big margin.
