2004 Porsche Cayenne - The SUV for those that don't want one
The Cayenne is a great buy if you want something that handles pretty well but need something that can swallow a ton of luggage and pull trailers. The prices of used models have really cratered down to super affordable levels now. The perception seems to be that these are money pits, but with a little careful buying, you can land a really solid car. The advantage of buying a 10+ year old example is that the fairly well-known factory defects have all been fixed. As long as the previous owner had the plastic coolant pipes in the engine bay swapped for metal ones (as per a Porsche recall) and had the drive and half shafts replaced, then your major worries are done. There are some other things that crap out, wiring in the headlights comes to mind, but most of the things are small and relati... (more)
Story
Soon after purchase, my wife and I were up on Hwy 2 in the evening, carving some canyons, came round a bend and saw a Space X Falcon Launch over the LA Basin.
Pros
The combination of handling and utility is pretty unbeatable outside of maybe a Mercedes E63 Wagon... but you're not getting one of those for anywhere near the price of Cayennes. Having driven both the air suspension and traditional coil sprung versions, I much prefer the coils. The air system in Porsches is reputed to be more durable than in other marques, but why both when the 'base' coil system is so good. Plus, having a coil system allows for easier upgrades to the suspension.
Cons
Some people think you're stuck up because of the badge... Other than that, fuel economy is fairly low by modern standards. Personally, I just look at how much I saved over my coworkers with brand-new trucks and the cost of gas just fades away. They can also chew through tires pretty quickly... again, I saved so much on the initial hit that I have plenty in reserve for a kicking new set of boots every 10,000 miles.
2019 Porsche Cayenne - Great car.
I like Safety and acceleration in this car, I also like the system in the car such as the programs provided. the seats are very comfortable, you feel like you are sitting in a plane of business class. I like the quality of the car and the services provided as package. The sound system is great, the navigation is super excellent. I have never seen such a car in my life. when you drive in the street you feel like you are the king walking in a palace. The car speed is great when you drive in freeway at a speed of 150 miles/hr. you feel like you are driving at a speed of 90 miles/hr. the disadvantages of this car is that the price is very expensive. moreover, the price doesn't include electrical power charge. the car runs on gas fuel only. I spoke to the sales and management about this iss... (more)
