2011 Porsche Cayenne S

Porsche's top seller gets its first full revamp.

[@alianisz]

Its a Porsche at the end of the day. People are inherently going to pay more for the badge and theres nothing wrong with that. Atleast it doesnt look like a refrigerator on wheels like American SUVs

[@Guavaprayingmantis]

Land Rover (not America) is actually the reference you're trying to grasp my friend.

[@CayenneTurboDriver]

I am a big Porsche and especially Cayenne fan, but this guy did a good job at reviewing this car. Especially the costs for the necessary extras like parking assist system are "overwhelming". But all in all it's a great car and I guess that's a bit of what the reviewer also meant.

[@praneetsingh6201]

This guy would make a good wife, he complains enough about everything

[@manu144x]

Praneet Singh he has good points though. It happened to me too that a car is very nice in numbers, and when you actually have to live with it everyday it gets very annoying very fast.

[@mmacphersonn]

My dad complains more

[@parctelegraph8056]

😄😄😄😄😄

[@allexxo_]

And?

[@jaredsc10]

At :59 he said PDCC when talking about the head unit (PDCC stands for Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control), looks like he meant PCM (Porsche Communication Management).

[@smokejblow66]

Shows how much he really knows about the vehicle!! 😆

[@xbwang87]

This guy is really harsh on this review. He is asking too much from a car. A fully customized car only for him is the only way to go for this guy. Porsche has been doing something right to sell this many cars!

[@namdar79]

I own a 2012 Cayenne S and here's the trick with the cupholders, you gotta rotate the cup as you push it down. Works like a charm. (sorry for those that didn't know and spilled) ;)

[@MorpheousLA]

The thing about options is that Porsche gives you a lot of them. However, you do not need to get all of them. Just get the ones you want and you can be under 80 grand for an S model. I built one online and my came up to $77K. I live in SoCal so I do not need heated seats, etc.

[@Lucky8s]

I don't know why but I never seem to be mesmerized when I see a Porsche anymore.

[@stevenjr6582]

Nothing beats a N/A Porsche ,even if it is a Cayenne.

[@intrepidface07]

way better than BMW x6 any day.... btw Mr. cnet guy there nothing knwn as too much torque , I. agree if its less.... otherwise..... its go go cayeene or what Eva you wanna call it. Mr. cnet your tech review and pointing the flaws were flawless,,,,

[@JobyJose3]

Nut! Its a porsche! Why cant he sound happier?

[@victorgil7565]

My dream SUV. Someday I'll have one.

[@ramdato5196]

Victor Gil Did you get it? :D

[@sgnrggl3531]

hi, so???

[@victorgil7565]

@@ramdato5196 Yes! I have 2 now

[@fkporsche1]

Good Job rating this CayenneS. I owned one, and the host is right on the dot. However, it really the cost of owning a Porsche. "pricey". But once again, "there is no substitute".

[@Craydon]

When I think of Porsche, I think lust-worthy. That thing is like a smooth brick, but with half the character.

[@arravYT]

2:23 that guy liked it

[@josef959]

He points out things that annoy on cars. That's so someone who may want to buy that car, knows what may annoy them. There's no point reviewing a car and not mentioning any faults, unless that car actually is perfect; which there is no such thing.

[@ruzzelladrian907]

"Sissy grab bar" 😂

[@namdar79]

Paddle shifters on the steering wheel, not good? Where should they be then? I have a Cayenne like this and when driving in the curvy canyon roads I like that the shifters are under my thumb as I steer...

[@strikeryachts]

Drive like a sport, pay like a sport.

[@capa9619]

I didn't realize that Porsche had purple LED mood lighting back in 2011 - oh wait, that's the reflection of his shirt on the dash, lol

[@ISAYSTOHIMISAYS]

Cayenne laughs at your double yellow lines!

[@TheReplikah]

i love this guy!

[@LTF85199]

Please do a 2012 civic review..

[@geabus1043]

sick car

[@rileys8741]

This guy is a great reviewer but needs a manicure

[@MObar]

The in-car electronics are PCM, not PDCC haha

[@TheBobobobob123]

lmao he knew the coffee was gonna spill but he did it anyways hahahaha I love him

[@lgreen5]

This Porsche answer the question.... What is really on your mind? A sport SUV that has more options the cents...

[@DavidMa1992]

you did not just spill coffee in a Porsche...... I did not see that.....

[@DrDankoff]

Really ... only american car reviewers complain about cup holders ... and begin their review driving with their left wrist sitting at 12 o'clock ...

[@AntonSlizzardhands]

"Designed by the devil." Lololol

[@trippalbright4385]

Everything he say is funny!

[@digitalrbn]

spilled coffee on the car, that sucks

[@JKreventon]

He's funny

[@Namaki56]

I don't trust cnet reviews on German cars! BIAS

[@josef959]

Extremely subjective? That's the point of a review... Plus he hates on Mercedes Benz as well

[@stemar1983]

@Drrck11 are you the only human being in the world?

[@HumeidAlHabsi]

plz review the Lexus LX 570

[@markmarshall39]

@Drrck11 cause you can always dream:)

[@xoquixxoqafxo]

I hate the way German cars charge an arm and a leg on stuff thats standard on the Japanese competitors.

[@meLLemeL83]

I like the first Cayenne better.

[@494Ibrahim]

Yeah shitty cup holders is a german car thing, my 2011 mercdes e 550 spills coffee the same way, too stiff.

[@wyzemann]

Not thoroughly impressed! When I'm ready to relinquish $100k+ on a sports vehicle, I'll surely select a BMW X6M. Cayenne S can't hold a candle to this beauty!

[@liamseanking23]

I forgot how whiney this guy was.

[@SteveJohnsonnc13]

soon to be built in Atlanta

[@farnum3297]

This guy should stick to reviewing kitchen appliances. Teslas included.

[@josef959]

There is a difference between bias and extremely subjective. i wouldn't say that this review is biased in anyway in this review

[@smokejblow66]

How about your bias for him 😆

[@LogInfinity]

used to look nicer before ... nuff said

[@bobbyv369]

Not really. Bias can defeat the point of a review.

[@thejerems73]

i love the front of the car but that back looks shit

[@MrOmgfreak]

i dont like this new body style....from a distance behind ,it looks like a mom suv chevy traverse kinda .. the old 09 body was the one i liked and u new what it was when ya saw it no matter what.

[@JayDee-xj9lu]

The front looks like a bull frog. It's pretty hard to make a SUV look sporty I guess.

[@heiki1234]

Hahaha

[@awesomealvin6389]

Exterior is a bit ugly.

[@carycoller3140]

Not sexy looking at all. The little version of it looks much better.

[@AskJeeves17]

I'd rather have a corvette, and smoke the carp out of this thing for the same money...

[@BROtheBRAWLER]

looks cheap somehow ;)

[@edge160]

Silver looks crap on this car!

[@hekangkevin]

The review is sucks
