I have not enjoyed this car at all. They are still working out the problems with the car and the service departments are horrible. The car has been in the shop more than it has been on the road. Im going back to the X5.

Review
Purchased 04 demo with 9k on it in Sept 03. Has been back to selling dealership 2 times. A bunch of petty things that I would have thought they would hav fixed before offering for sale. Biggest problem is that it dd and still does drift/pull right. It will go backa gain to a different dealer. Looking at lemon law too. I would never recommend selling dealer. NO follow up, no offer of extended warranty, complaint to Porsche refered me back to dealer manager who never himself returned calls.
Favorite Features
Got to be the stereo and tiptronic on steering wheel.
Suggested Improvements
Tinted glass standard, make options in packages please? Porsche, listen to your customers. My worst ever dealer experience.

One small problem , the engine cuts out for 2 or 3 seconds when going about 5 to 10 mph. A scary sensation.

Review
It was time to buy a new house & start a family my wife said. Poof, my 911 cab was gone! Fast forward 14 months later. The new home was purchased,the baby is here & a Cayenne is sitting in my garage. Unbelievable is what I have to say! Even the baby appreciates the Cayenne. I just strap her into the baby seat & the throaty growl from the engine puts the baby to sleep right away. On weekends, the transmission stays in automatic when the baby is on board. On weekdays on my way to work & back, it's a whole different story! I never thought I'd look forward to commuting each day. Thank You Porsche!!

EVERYTHING! Porsche evens makes a customized baby seat for the cayenne!

I'll tell you when I think of one!

2003 Porsche Cayenne S Tiptronic 4WD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 6A)
Review
The only thing wrong with this car is the rather stiff ride (his car only comes with regular suspension unlike the Turbo model which has three different suspension options). It rides like a dream on smooth payment but is rather jarring when driving in the city or on bumpy roads. Otherwise, this car is a joy to drive and truely worthy of calling itself a Porsche.
Favorite Features
Suggested Improvements
Softer suspension, perhaps a different set of tires will do the trick.

2003 Porsche Cayenne S Tiptronic 4WD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 6A)
Review
Recently, I purchased a Cayenne and had it stretched to fit a comfortable 12 passengers. I own a limo comapny in New Jersey and specialize in exotic limos. The Porsche was not the best looking vehicle on the market, it was the best built. Also, I built a BMW X5 back in 2001 and it got rave reviews. The Porsche really gives the X5 a run for the money. I never thought a Porsche SUV could handle like a car. I give it 5 stars.
Favorite Features
The accelaration is awesome. The steptronic transfer case is more than I expected. The guages and functions are a little confusing at first. After figuring them out I realized how genius Porsche was in developing this vehicle.
Suggested Improvements
Overall, the car is really nice. What it lacked was running boards which I added after market. The rims are okay but need to be redesigned for appearance. They are nice but something is missing.
