2008 Porsche Cayenne SUV Review

I like the Cayenne but I don't like to be ripped off on the excessive price of the automatic transmission and certain options. If you ever price up a Cayenne in the configuration that you want, you will likely be shocked at the total sticker price. They even charge extra for covering up the wheel nuts with a disk that shows the Porsche crest. I refuse to put up with that sort of blackmail marketing and have stricken the Cayenne off my shopping list in favour of the Q7.

Just buy a used Cayenne or new 2007 model. I'm sure there are incredible deals to be had, and it is a much tighter driving experience than the Audi.

Have you driven both? The Cayenne V6 is ridiculously slow and overpriced- it doesn't deserve a Porsche badge. The Q7, Touareg and Cayenne/Cayenne S all drive very similarly.

Does anyone else think this looks worst than the previous ugly model..?

The problem I have "supermoto", is that I do not buy used cars, period! It's a policy I adopted about 10 years ago because I require the reliability of a new car. The personal admistration cost of finding a good used vehicle and verifying its particulars (and added maintenace and repair costs) far exceeds the incremental savings in depreciation and cost of capital. The problem with buying a left-over 2007 model is that it is one model year older than a 2008 model the minute you drive it off the lot and hence worth a lot less.

Try Pricing up a Range Rover Autobiography with a few Options. I promise you will go straight back to Porsche website and take a cayenne Turbo s.

I had to blink a few times when i tried to configure a Range Rover Special Anniversary Edition in the UK, I gave up after i reached 135k GBP and there were more options left unchecked.

My best advice for Purchasing $100k vehicles is pick up Ex-Showroom Models 6 months after Launch. Same model year, never more than 5k miles on it and Warranty is untouched (Starts once you buy it)
