Hap[py I didn't buy that Mercedes
By jack on Sunday, March 25, 2012
When I sold my ML430 I wanted to buy a ML500. My friend got me to try the Cayenne S first. Absolutely no comparison. When it comes to response, fit, finish the Porsche stands alone. - 5.0
Best suv ever
By Ron on Monday, May 10, 2021
We have that this Cayenne Turbo for years and it has never failed us. We’ve been all over Canada with it and still love it. We don’t like the body style-of the newer Porsche Cayenne so we will keep this gem fro a Long time. - 5.0
2004 Cayenne Strong built and very reliable.
By Henrik on Tuesday, December 06, 2011
Have had my 2004 Porsche Cayenne for five years. I bought it used. I had no problems with this car, It drives like a new car. The handeling is great, acceleration is not so good, but sure has power.
