2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S from Mexico - Comments

The key suddenly stoped working, it won't allow me to turn on or even open the car, I think the chip got disconnected or something like that. for now I use the spare key.

Well, I'm from Dallas Texas where I used to drive a lexus gs400. (that's the bad guy that spoiled me, that's why I'm very picky with the reliability of cars). Right now I'm living in Cancun, Mexico (making a new life in paradise)

when I was looking for a truck I found too many options, but I focused on 2 of them, the vw touareg and the porsche cayenne, since they are almost the same I decided to go for the porsche (only a few extra bucks from one to one), right now I have to make my first scheduled maintenance, and I found it pretty unpleasant to know that I have to wait more than 2 weeks for a god damned oil change and a couple of filters, since they use the same service center for audis and porsches, so I decided to go to the vw dealer and I found that the vw touareg service is like 30% less expensive than mine. right now I don't know what to do. I like the truck, but I hate the cancun's porsche dealer, I don't feel like driving my truck anymore cause every time I turn it, it sounds a big alarm announcing that it needs the service RIGHT NOW!!!

But talking about the truck, it is magnificent, the engine is a jewel has great power you can easily beat any car (something they won't expect from a big SUV), I love all the technology it has a wonderful electronic suspension you just have to move one finger to make your suv higher o lower, I haven't taken it to a 4x4 test because it didn't came with the right tires for that. but I can say that the 4wd worked great when hurrican wilma came down here. if you are going to buy a new SUV and you can sacrifice more money for it, go for it and get the porsche, I always wanted a porsche, but I never had the chance (money) to buy one, now that I worked and saved some money I can buy me one, but not a small super car because I have 2 beautiful daughters and one gorgeous wife, so I had to buy me a big roomy, sports car!.

Like a week ago we got my wifes new car it's an Acura RL, I think I might wait 2 or 3 months to make a review for the car. any way thank you for taking part of your time for reading this review.

Tell us something about the reliability of the SUV. Compare it to the standard: Lexus.

Lexus has nothing like this... especially the Cayenne Turbo. I tried to stay with one on back country roads in my 270 HP Acura TL import sedan and the Cayenne just dusted me. Maybe a Trailblazer SS for performance and power at 395 hp... but again no Lexus SUV. I personally would go with with a new Range Rover for a high end SUV less performance, but great SUV before a Lexus anytime.
