I have an 08 GTS. It has been totally reliable. I love my Cayenne. The Cayenne has a 140,000 miles on it now. I bought it with like 53,000 miles on it.

[@Trinavara]

Thinking about getting one here in Trinidad,getting good deals on two of them,they both look great and sound great but I was a bit apprehensive because of the older European car negative stereotype..thanks for the tip..

I’ve got an 09 GTS. Does yours have vibration above 60kph? Mine has fault for the Chassis system as well

[@troycovington]

@@rizwanwali4223 No fault codes on mine. I have not had any issues with the chassis. No vibrations.

[@Tential1]

@@troycovington I was expecting to hear much more of the German Horror Story that gets associated with these Brands, especially coming from Mercedes but after doing a lot of research on the Cayenne actually looks like it'd be a decent Choice especially with how many of them there are on the market used. Especially if I want a fun vehicle that is also a SUV. I've seen turbos and Turbo S is going for reasonable amounts of money. I'm hoping that after this pandemic the prices will get even better since I'm not in a rush anyway

[@troycovington]

@@Tential1 I bought mine from CarMax. I knew that it was a well inspected vehicle. I still have not had any issues with mine. I used it to tow my trailer as well.

Thanks for the videos. After watching the first of these, I went out and bought a 2012 base Cayenne three years ago. It has been near perfect as well. I have owned five (used) Porsches over 25 years and they all seem to run like tanks - never breaking. I maintain them very well and just drive them for years. Porsches rule!

As owner of a 957 cayenne s (this body style) I can say that it’s been hands down the MOST reliable car I have ever owned. Off roads really easily. Very fast. And practical. Awesome review. I love these updates!

This cayenne is by far my favorite thing on this channel

[@redhotstanger]

Have 06 vr6 Touareg, owned since 5000 miles, now 10600, regular maintenance. One time in the shop, less the $600. Did rear brakes this Summer, fronts are original with 50% life left. Love the car. Touareg and Cayenne are built on the same platform. Early cars even use some of the same interior and body parts.

[@ZygalStudios]

I bought a 17 Cayenne Platinum for my wife and this is the first car she adores. She's obsessed with it. One reason I started looking at them was because of this video series. It's a magnificent car, thank you! Looking forward to another update.

[@EverydayDriver]

This is great to hear. There will be another update coming. Thrilled to know it helped you and your wife find one she loves! Thanks for watching.

[@chriscole554]

I am a fan of your show and your reviews are spot on. I actually went out and brought a Porsche Cayenne with a 6speed manual transmission (very rare find in this country) I have had no issues or complaints with it at all. One problem I am having for the second time is my rear hatch won't open. They've replaced the mechanism once and probably have to do it again 😔 but no real biggie because the rear glass still opens. Keep up the reviews and I'll still be watching.

[@lordbadboy]

You don't need to buy a new valve cover. The diaphragm valve for the cranckcase ventilation can be bought as a separate aftermarket part for something like 30 usd. It's worth checking other parts when replacing it - e.g. timing chain guides and tensioner, valve cover gasket. Check out the injectors as well. It's definitely a great car if you take care of it.

[@512TXSDIY]

Yes. I literally just did my PCV diaphragm in my 2010 Cayenne V6. It took me 10 hours to complete but it was my first time. I can probably do it in about 5-6 hours if I needed to do it again.

Thank you its been really great following this cayenne

[@BeesonsCars]

I have a 2011 Cayenne S (958) and absolutely love it. Bought the car with 84K miles in november of 2019 and currently have a tick below 90K. It drives wonderfully. I have replaced the front brake pads (and they happen to be the biggest ones i've ever seen on a car), changed the transfer case fluid, and have had it serviced. Other than that it is driven quite hard with no fuss. The car is floored multiple times per day, has been taken offroad pretty far, and is generally used in all conditions. It just never feels "fragile." It also makes a lovely exhaust noise and has performance that puts most cars to shame on a backroad. My cayenne is pretty much fully loaded. Premium Package Plus, full leather interior, PASM w/ Adaptive Air Suspension, pano, 21" Sport Edition wheels, etc. It feels so much more advanced than a 2011 model year car. This car replaced my sadly totaled 2007 Mercedes S550 and I'm seemingly happy. I miss the Mercedes and still think the S class is the best sedan in the world, but the Cayenne is a wonderful daily with insane versatility.

[@Spartansrule118]

how is it holding up 4 years later

[@BeesonsCars]

@@Spartansrule118 149k miles and one breakdown id consider it very solid. Just basic maintenance other than my TC case being replaced under recall/extended warranty and a coolant hose letting go at 147k miles. I average 18.6 MPG mixed driving, have a very heavy right foot, and still absolutely adore it. I plan to keep it to 200k or more. It's a tank.

[@Top_g80comp]

[@olybobby]

I love my 2009 (957). Bought it with 72k, currently has 106k and it's been reliable. Fast as shit, tows my 22' speed boat just fine, better turning radius than my M5, very comfortable, still looks great.....yeh, gas mileage ain't great but still love it. It's so practical all around. Just a great car.

Another great episode. I replaced the part by myself. The part is cheap, but it cost me a lot of time to complete. It was a 20 minutes job for old V6 (03-06) and S models. But for V6 957, it is under the cover.

[@robertandrews6555]

[@morganvon5664]

Great info. I have an 09 Cayenne S with Air suspension. The added ground clearance comes in handy in drive in theatres and horribly rocky trail lots. I had to replace the high pressure fuel pump this year. But other than that, it's been reliable. MPG with the V8 is horrible. I'm getting 15 combined.

[@DashnCars]

I couldn't agree more. I bought a 2015 Cayenne Diesel, the wife loves it, I love it, and couldn't ask for more. Might actually be the perfect SUV.

[@keiffer228]

Right before Labor Day of 2019, I purchased a 2006 Porsche Cayenne S Titanium edition. I got it with a 30 day warranty from Coventry Motorcar which is where I purchased it from. It had 55k miles on it and came as a one owner with a clean Carfax. In the first week, an oxygen sensor went, which was covered by my warranty. I now have over 61k miles on it, with no other issues and absolutely love it. It's EPA rating is bad (12mpg city and 17highway), however, I always average right around the 17mpg, so I am happy about that. My wife and I have taken road trips to northern Vermont with a Thule cargo carrier on top, 2 mountain bikes on my hitch mount bike carrier, car fully loaded, cruise control set at 73mph, and still got 17mpg... The 4.5 liter v8 sounds and performs really well, the interior is very nice and comfortable. We plan to get a camper in the next year or two and plan to use this to tow it, which I think will be great. I would absolutely recommend a Cayenne, 1st or 2nd generations are great used vehicles.

[@DrBilly90210]

Have a 2014 Cayenne Turbo S which just turned over 50K miles. No issues. I'm still on the original brakes (going to replace pads in the spring even if wear indicators haven't triggered; rotors have < 1mm wear which I still shake my head at but I am definitely not aggressive on the brakes) and have had no issues with the vehicle. Transfer case has been a problem for the 958 series but I change the transfer case fluid with every oil change (10K miles) and haven't had an issue. Air suspension still going strong. Came to the CTTS from a M-B GL550 which was a proud member of the "M-B mechanic full employment program"--i.e. was such a money pit that I swore off M-B after getting rid of it. Happy to report that Porsche has been a much more pleasant ownership experience. CTTS has 21" wheels which get Michelin Latitude 3's in the summer and 19" wheels which get Blizzaks in the winter. Blizzaks were first non-studded winter tire I'd ever had and I've been extremely impressed. First winter I had them on and took the Cayenne to an empty church parking lot to throw it around a bit on snow/ice. Could make it lose control but was all it took to have it snap back into control was releasing the steering wheel and letting up on the gas. Very, very stable and secure winter vehicle. TBH, my GF's Lexus RX350 has more creature comforts and is a better vehicle for a long road trip, but can't put the same stupid happy grin on my face that happens when I occasionally stomp the gas on the Cayenne.

[@icaughtyoubasstard4877]

Nice review. I own a 2006 VW Touareg V8 with 126,000+ miles a bought it used with center and rear lockers with air suspension and Love It! This T1 is the platform for the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7. Awesome SUV. Built like a tank, off-roads well, can tow 7,700lbs and handles well on the highway with 310hp. The interior is close to the same as the Porsche and Audi with minor changes. All leather seats, heated steering wheel and front and rear heated also. It's just so amazing for a 2006 SUV. I did lots of research with all the options I wanted in the SUV and got them all for a decent price! Well worth my investment! The Only gripe it takes premium unleaded fuel which is expensive to fuel up. Other than that, I Love my VW 2006 Touareg. Similar to the Porsche Cayenne and the Audi Q7 as I mentioned above!

Uneventful is good.

[@FouldsLaQuinta]

Totally agree. I have a 2009 Cayenne S, 110,000 miles. Very few problems. One issue was a starter that was taking way too many amps to turn over. Felt like bad battery or ground. But it wasn’t. And the starter is a $2,000 repair. Currently, our tailgate indicates as open when it is not, and the thermostat or thermostat sensor has failed, which means the thermostat is stuck open. Since all this would affect is use of the cabin heat during warm up, it is a non-issue for me since i live in the desert. I even use it to tow my race car.

Since moving back to Utah with a GTI, I've managed to drive it in all weather conditions except for two instances. One of them was Monday, because my car couldn't clear the snowdrifts in my neighborhood. Every time I see one of your Cayenne updates, I consider trading my GTI in for a used Cayenne, and then I think about how much I love my car.

[@K03sport]

... my (04) GTI 1.8t 5spd got me through the best Denver, CO and Dayton, OH winters could throw at it for 15 years and not one misstep, even on all seasons. Sure, the car couldn't defy physics, but respecting what the wx is and not being crazy goes a long way. I'm in a WRX now and so far, I can't tell a difference in nasty wx competence btwn the two. A 3-4yo Cayenne upgrade would be nice, but if I go P-car, it's gonna be a Panamera 4/4S...

[@d1sturb3d119]

I drive a 420hp ISF all year round in Utah. I dunno if you'd really want to swap from a car to an SUV purely for that.

[@chrispriore1126]

They are truly amazing cars. I have a 2008 base cayenne with 180,000 miles. The last couple thousand miles have been rough however with some problems with the blower motor needing to be replaced, the throttle body and other related parts needing to be replaced and now lights on for fuel pressure sensor and camshaft position sensor. Overall a great car though and the engine and transmission seem to be bullet proof.

[@TheFransVenter]

We have a 2010 bought in Australia with all the extra's including the super air suspension and diff locks. Did all the main off road stuff in Australia surprising a lot of Toyota fans. Now in Kent UK, still a daily driver on the narrow, rutted lanes we have. No plan to sell ever, spares and services very affordable if you stay away from the very beautiful Porsche buildings and their well dressed and spoken staff.

[@vikjoe]

I am a Canadian from Winnipeg and now living in Dubai. Ive had my 2010 Cayenne do KM195,000 and like someone said here its built like a tank. For 3 years I lived in Muscat and did the 400km up and down trip every weekend and other than the regular maintenance and a drive shaft replacement I've had absolutely no issues. I can see now how its difficult to go back to American or Japanese cars after driving German...

[@wajeehbukhari7595]

Hi, sorry I’m quite late. But if possible, how easy was maintaining it in muscat? Thanks

[@Rickster1965]

I have the exact same car. I’ve changed the drive shaft around 100K. Did plugs, coils, water pump, belts at just under 80K when I bought the car in 2017 as normal maintenance/preventative. The main problem now is the fuel pump, which both were changed at 90K, and having issues again now at 127K. It’s not my daily driver so I’m pondering next steps to keep or trade. Otherwise it’s been pretty solid/reliable.

[@theprojectproject01]

And how about reviewing the Cayenne and the Phaeton back-to-back over that same road? Huh? Huh? You smell what I'm steppin' in, Todd?

[@Abbbb225]

Considering one of these. Have to say though that even a FWD drive will do well with blizzaks as long as snow isn't too deep, road isn't super steep, or you're not driving too fast. Doesn't really test the AWD system too much when you have high-end snow tires (not saying you should take them off! stay safe! Just that you'd have to run it on all seasons to cause slip and see how the AWD works).

[@chrismitchell559]

I have a 2004 955 CTT with 175k on it... Runs like a top. I bought it at a salvage auction for $1200, put a $500 bumper on it and bent the intercooler bracket back to square to get it road worthy. Had about $10000 worth of after market stuff and a tune on it. It eats brakes and tires and sucks a bit of oil into the turbos, but that's typical. I use it to tow things, strap wood on the roof rack, and basically just treat it like my old cherokee... It just keeps going, and fast. Replaced 2 of the window regulators, the female side is plastic and breaks down over time. Did them both in 4 hours. Might need a new starter in the next year, but both of those are typical. Love it.

Crossover comments : I've been operating a used second-gen Touareg here in Europe/Germany for several years, with *very* similar experience. As a vehicle to support battlefield and military history tours, it's the ultimate "Swiss Army knife", cruising back and forth to the airports to deliver and retrieve clients in comfort (w/air suspension) AND blowing their minds with its off-road performance. I should note that it's a late 2007 build, so the first-gen issues were ironed out, but it still has ALL the extra "boy toys" like locking diffs, etc. As you rightly conclude, the brakes, tires and oil changes are on the expensive side in terms of cyclic maintenance, but the value exchange remains well into the positive. And yes, it's a blast here in our traditionally snowy part of Germany.

I found out earlier this year that if you live in Germany you have to have snow rated tires. Not all season or all terrain unless it has the snow rating on it. It's not something they pull you over for and give you a ticket. If you had an accident no matter what the other person did you are automatically found at fault for the accident. I'm old enough to still remember back in the 70 when my grandfather would change over to snow tires every winter. That is how I learned to change a tire and I was 8 years old when I would start helping him. I'd love your review on using your four-wheel drive for what most people in this world would use it for. Let's face it ninety-nine percent of the people who own a four-wheel-drive will never see offroad. Depending on where you live you most definitely will get a chance to try on snow and ice. that the sort of testing I like. Showing how a car or SUV performs in bad weather.

Thanks for sharing. Looking at 2010 cayenne with 96k

[@Robertking1996]

Any maintenance issues? Considering a used Macan. Heard Porsche actually have an amazing track records for little servicing.

[@maxhi88]

Keep it as long as you can.

[@lofthousehh]

Waiting for the next update! 😅

Hey Man! what All-Season-Tyres are you using beside your full-winter tyres ? Regards from Switzerland

[@DaysLikeThese65]

Good review BUT the true here here are the Winter tyres. No matter what you drive even 4x4’s its the tyres that keep you moving.

Get a Firefly BT adapter that uses the AUX and USB in the center console and forget about ripping the PCM out. ~$35 on Amazon. Just stream all your music through the phone to the car. This also retains the stock PCM phone connectivity.

My 2010 VW Touareg V6, which is almost the same car as this one, is as much or even more reliable. In my 7.5 years of ownership, I spent less than $1k fixing problems on it and maybe another $1k for regular service both at the dealership. Really impressed reliability as a European car... But seems it started to show sign of age recently, fingers crossed that it won’t break my bank, or it’s time to move on...

Having a '09 Cayenne VR6 for 11 years I'd say the bills aren't that high nor that cheap. It's in the same ballpark as the VW counterpart as they share parts. As long as you service it at a dependable Indy shop that you trust, it's going to be fine. Things that will go malfunction or go wrong are: - failure of the optional panoramic roof (rails become misplaced; glass panel misplaced; motor fails) - Carden shaft wear and centre bearing failure - trunk springs failure if you dont have an automatic tailgate system - speaker buzzing These will occur no matter what mileage you have unfortunately

[@swanblake]

Do you by chance have a total cost spent on repairs and maintenance on this? Be curious how much it takes

[@tonyrichards5919]

can't wait to see update #7 another year later assuming he still has the car?

[@davidv8961]

What model are "high performance" all season tyres? What car is a "heavy duty" sedan?

[@KeithB2718]

I’m now looking for a good 2011

[@DirtDude117]

Don't forget the water pipe iszue that affects these, the Panera, and Macon. It's currently a class action lawsuit but it's something else to look for

[@nanusiri9189]

I had the first gen v8 cayenne S. they suffered with a design flaw - coolant pipes were made from plastic and would break. Expensive repair as it runs through the engine from what I remember. Otherwise it was a great jeep
