Very happy with mine, i have a company car free gas so I only use the Cayenne on Fridays, which I always look forward to. It feels almost like when I first got my 911 I cant wait to drive it
Nice wheels tom.. and the emblem is awesome,also reminds me of the old 911 turbo(good idea).
Happier each day I get some seat time. My wife has been hogging the thing. She loves drving it so much i can't seem to get to drive it much anymore. This is from a woman who believed cars are just transportation. She has totally got the Porsche bug.
I think these things are great and Porsche had the right idea.
So glad I ended up keeping the Thule roof rack system that came w/ the car from the previous owner. I burrowed my in law's storage box and it bolted right up no problem! It was perfect for our recent road trip with 3 passengers and 2 dogs
Do you know what Thule cross bars you have? I think I’ll have to throw a McDonald’s hamburger box on my car and go full Griswold in the next couple of weeks.

My 2004 S is growing on me just like my 300SD Mercedes did! The more I throw at it the better it performs. It's solid, fun, comfortable and the power is there when needed!

Thats a sweet looking Piglet. Mine is '08 black GTS and I am looking to upgrade to another 957 but with less miles and your pic making me want to get a white one.
Safe to say my first ownership experience would derail this thread entirely so I’ll stick to the second.
955, 2006 on a UK 56 plate with 73,500 miles when I bought it from a lovely Canadian chap. Only issue is that it’s shod with all season tyres on 19 inch wheels and that ruins the feel of the ride somewhat.
Everything in the car feels so tight and sooo much better than the 121,000 mile 2005 version that let me down so badly before.
This beauty has restored my faith in the Cayennes and I’ve had a lovely off road experience and also put 1,000 miles on it in the last two weeks on a little post-lockdown road trip in the U.K.
Love it so much I’m building a little YouTube channel and will drop a few little vids on there as a permanent reminder of my ownership experience.
08 S with 71K miles on her. Got it with 64K on the clock two years ago. It is my daily and it runs flawlessly (at least after a new starter was installed last year). In Sport mode it always gets a grin. It has its little quirks but what vehicle of this vintage doesn’t?
Just ordered a Curt hitch and a bike carrier, so we will be together for a while.
I love my 08 C-S! It does everything I need and hauls my family around on all sorts of adventures. Driving over the Canadian Rocky Mountains in the dead of winter? I don't even blink (as long as my tires and oil are good). Camping in the summer, light offroad, carve some twisties, pulling up to a nice resort, etc. It does all of it with comfort, confidence, and grins.
We also have a 911/996, a Tacoma, and a Civic in the family fleet, and the Cayenne is the one that gets the most attention in the form of maintenance and upgrades (because it gets the most miles).
The only thing I don't look forward to is pulling up to the gas station -- the most expensive gas in N. America. Also, being on here makes me lust for a Turbo, Turbo S, Transsyberia, or even "just' a GTS, but I love the one I have.
Love mine. Thought about selling recently but couldn't find anything else that fit my needs as well as the GTS. It has around 60K miles and still feels and looks like a newish car. I bought my daughter a GTi DSG so I can drive that when I want a small car to toss around.
