So my car is the original model 2004 cayenne turbo. AMAZING performance for an old, heavy 4WD, bu massive fuel consumption of 18-20L/100km is the penalty. The plastic coolant pipes to the turbos burst, and this cost several thousand to rectify at a mechanic. Other issues I've been able to fix myself, like failing rear hatch struts, leaking coolant expansion tank, and a centre bearing support. Japanese/koreans cars are definitely more reliable, however I still feel this old monster is a great drive.

My Turbo is so nice to drive compared to 911SC i had for 9 yrs. Cayenne Turbo has smooth power delivery just hold on tight. Everything just works & beautifully finished, love love love it.
Only one problem is 21in wheels & low profile tyres don't like gutters ( ouch ) expensive tyres.
I drove the GTS before the Turbo - BUY a Turbo worlds apart a true Porsche performance.
Press Sport switch and melt into your seat with the purrfect exhaust note & enhanced tuning & lowered suspension.

In 2010 we purchased a new Porsche Cayenne following an episode when a mid 20's Toyota salesman told us we couldn't afford to replace our 1998 Toyota Prado.Biggest mistake I ever made,in the first 3 years probably spent more time on a Tow truck than driving it.Porsche's reply was you should expect it with a new model,even though they had been out in Europe for over 6 months.Although lately it has been going OK,we keep getting it serviced at an exorbitant price by Porsche as their road side assist program is a neccessity.Also,when Porsche God C...
Read moreoast's Service Manager informs you that your diesel vehicle needs spark plugs it doesn't fill you with confidence.I would advise anyone thinking of purchasing one to stick with Japanese. October 11th 2022 Update: Still giving problems [I've already made submissions on this vehicle, Dave] I saw a reply from Porsche a while ago stating they are no longer manufacturing the 2003/2010 model. This is a bit disingenuous of Porsche as our is a Series 11 model & their excuse for the problems was that it was a new car, although they had been available in Europe for 6 months. I would suggest anyone contemplating buying a Cayenne read a publication called "Dogs & Lemons "which accurately outline a lot of the problems a buyer is likely to face. Unfortunately I read it a bit late & I believe it is only available on line now.
Purchased in for $114,000.

Further to this,soon after the warranty expired the controls for the window winders collapsed .Porsche was aware of this problem as they had a large number of replacements on hand.I don't think it was...
Read more limited to Cayennes.Also,at 80,000 km the steering arms/ bottom ball joints needed replacing at great expense,on a so called heavy duty vehicle which has never been off road.As a further disappointment,the parts were made in China! David Nelson.
