What Owners Say
"The handling is excellent. Looks are fantastic."
Anonymous, VA (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"The car is the best handling car we have ever driven. The only thing they should provide is more storage space within the car and better cup holders"
Anonymous, IL (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"The total handling of this vehicle - no sway when going through roundabouts, acceleration, audio. What I don't like is the fact that I have experienced (and many other owners have experienced the same) a slight hesitation of approx 10 seconds when acceleration from a stop, not always but at least 7 times in the 5 months I have owned the vehicle. Porsche service informed me that other owners have experienced the same since 2004. Why in the world has Porsche not addressed this problem. If I'm"
Anonymous, IN (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"Amazing handling and balance in any type of weather or road conditions"
GARY C., ON (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"Diesel has lots of torque for freeway merge. acceleration for high speed passing on 2 lane roads not as good as a gas engine."
John M., MA (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"Road holding ability is exceptional."
Anonymous, FL (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"Very powerful v8 engine helps outrun trouble, such as that car you didn't see while you're turning left into traffic and need to get vout of the way, quickly. The adaptive cruise control will stop the car without me braking, when a farm truck pulled onto the road just ahead of me. The car went from 70 to 20 by itself , as traffic was heavy and this happened so fast i never got a chance to react. Saved my life."
Anonymous, OR (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"trul1y outstanding"
Deane P., FL (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"excellent handling"
M L., UT (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"This SUV accelerates and handles far better than any other SUV I've driven. It was the main deciding point for me, since I was unhappy with the passing performance and cornering feel of at least three other brands I test drove besides this one."
Anonymous, NE (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"For an SUV, very car-like."
Anonymous, NJ (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"Great high performance SUV. Some issues that should not happen at 128K price tag"
Anonymous, CT (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"Fabulous acceleration and driving. Quiet and superb fuel economy"
Anonymous, IN (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"This is the best vehicle I have ever owned, great torque provides the power to pass on mountain highways and pull an enclosed trailer hauling another car, handling and comfort is like a premium luxury sedan. Mileage is amazing, around 27 in the city and about 33 on highways. No other vehicle I have ever driven brings excellent levels of comfort, power and mileage. That said, it will be seen what the California and federal regulators will force that will impact performance and power, due to the d..."
Mark D., AZ (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"See prior comments on the 2015 Cayenne"
Anonymous, MA (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"High tork give good exceleration"
Bill G., CO (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"Outstanding on both counts. Exceptional for a nearly 5000 lb vehicle."
Roger M., OR (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"Love the way it handles! Great! SUV on steroids! Thank you Porsche (GTS model)."
Anonymous, AL (2013 Porsche Cayenne)"I was worried about the transition from electric to gas power, and vice versa, but that is not an issue - the transition is smooth and mostly not noticeable. Acceleration from a full stop is not the best, but since most of my driving is in the city it's not an issue for me. Handling on the open road is outstanding - I feel like the vehicle has a good grip on the highway and it handles curves with minimal sway and roll. I feel safe when I'm driving this vehicle!"

"Great torque, so great acceleration for a diesel, none of the past drawbacks for a diesel. fuel consumption is fantastically low. Handling is great, makes this the Porsche of SUV's !"
