Yes. I own one. Fantastic and reliable. Remember after warranty expires stay away from dealer. Our Cayenne is no VW. Our Lexus RX is no Highlander. Awesome cars

@gulello Hi Mat here. I'm 5ft10.5ins - that's why in some videos I have said I was 5ft10ins and in others I have said 5ft11ins. I just can't make up my mind!!!

[@carbuyer]

@friendlytaipei Hi, Mat from CarBuyer here. I appreciate the videos are samey, but they are supposed to be as it makes it easy for people to compare models. You'll notice they are broken into two sections - the good points followed by the the bad points. This lets people quickly decide if a car is right for them. Please note in this video I say the Cayenne handles as well as you can expect an SUV to, which implies it corners better than the competition (X5, X3, RR Sport etc). Hope this helps.

[@mikisportgamesj7999]

Matt didnt change at all

[@carbuyer]

@RoyalVJ01 Hi, Mat from CarBuyer here. These videos are recorded primarily for our website CarBuyer.co.uk and the prices of the vehicles are listed on the review page where the video is hosted. I don’t mention the exact price in the video on purpose because if a car’s price changes slightly, which they often do, what I say in the video won’t agree to the price on the page and this would confuse users. For full details on a car visit the CarBuyer website. Hope this helps.

[@dipro001]

This looks SO much better with a brown leather interior! this black one kinda ruins the looks in my taste.

How often do u actually need to fold down the rear seats

[@Mr1998df]

Good review, The simple Porsche cayenne here in sweden costs just about 614 000 in swedish krona (90.10 in US dollars) So i think its a good price for the Porsche because its a quality car

[@jonny2k100]

I couldn't agree more, I also love the X5, it looks fantastic and is fast, like the X6 M. Obviously very few people who buy these cars will actually take them off road but it's good to know that if we get some floods or heavy snow these cars would be able to cope with it, even with the standard road tires, and that's where I see the Cayenne being superior. I don't however like the dials and interior of the Cayenne, I love the second gen Touareg, however the new one looks awful and feels cheaper.

[@athan4australia]

I love this guys reviews. There simple, informative and easy to understand so be quiet if your saying I hate his tee shirt and stupid things about his appearance and stuff

[@KaptainKlunk1]

they wer thinking not to consider some idiot who would think the back seats dont fold down so they didnt make them that way

Porche cayenne is not a truck for farmers, is why!

One day, Carbuyer should make a group review of the LaFerrari, Mclaren P1 and the Porsche 918 :D Wouldn't that be something?

[@therealbajan522]

One of the best looking interiors i have seen in anything to date, But i like the 957 exterior better.

[@chandugurusinghe5807]

Mat didn't have his stick of truth back then

[@jj_cars99]

I realized that he reviewed an older Cayenne before the 2019 model Cayenne

[@Buttnut105]

I can't really think of a better everyday driver. Excellent mileage, quiet, comfortable, relatively quick, descent looking, good in the winter, and very reasonably priced (only 3k off the VW Touareg Lux).

[@dhawalpatki]

I love this car. Bought this is august. Its a 2013 model. It has bose system and other cool features. I love to drive it :)

Yooka: I’m proud to announce that we will make- Mat: Porsche will try and rinse you out on the options list. Yooka: ...

[@asbsad]

One more thing is I am talking about real costs, and if you can get a ml for around 50k, all the power to you! But I still want to remind you, as an owner, the Ml has tons of stuff that goes wrong (e.g suspention, interior plastics, door lock, remote locking, door handle), but the big stuff doesn't go wrong such as engine..but after 5 to 6 years stuff will break and it will cost you a good amount of money to fix.

[@MercsDude]

Good question. Evoque is beautiful IMO, but how reliable is it? .... I wonder.

[@asbsad]

I must add the v6 is the base model... which you can buy with a few options for 62k-65k USD.

[@DrakorGaet]

Actually, I know a lot of people who own a Cayenne and all of them have something like a 911, or a Boxster/Cayman as well. They use the Cayenne in situations where the sportscars might be stumped. Like bad weather, long journeys, or shopping.

[@carbuyer]

@LeadHammer Hi, Mat from CarBuyer here. I take your point about this video not showing the Cayenne's abilities so watch the one I did for the Auto Express KZbin channel to see it off-roading and even drifting! Please note: these reviews are for our CarBuyer website and focus more on practicality than fun. Anyway the Cayenne is the Porsche for families so practicality is pertinent. And really, more people are likely to use the car's door bins and glovebox than take it off-road. Hope this helps.

[@Dreadzedan]

I think the Cayenne would win, amazing vehicle, even the international anti-cayenne authority top gear Uk loves it, and rates it very high. it has presence performance, a second to none interior, fuel economy, extended fuel tank option etc. that would be a sweet match up though

[@1alex1m]

it should, i agree (even though the cayenne starts around $45,000) but in case you have not noticed, porsches are marketed as the driving enthusiast's car, not the tech geek's mobile tech cave.

[@genesh1234]

love the glove box and bottle test...mat is good

[@asbsad]

the new ml costs around 63k-76k or even 80k ( that is the 350), merc's new price is kind of over the top, they are selling a car that is made in Alabama for 80k (which is the same price as a more powerful Cayenne S with options). In a short word, go for the british car. There are not as many options as the Germans (fyi that how they make money, options lists Porsche's option list can go for 60k on top of the car and mercs has 30k of options, Bmw and Audi charge you 17-20k of options for a car)

[@Mystyfication]

Good review. But there is one but, concerning the car. It should not be in diesel version, even though it'll do a lot mpg. Just because it's a porsche the performance one should get must be at its best.

[@1alex1m]

@zszs100 that is because the accord doesn't have nearly as many selling points as a cayenne. Thus they create more standard equipment, so as to gain more sales. I highly doubt that you would buy a cayenne for its blutooth system.

[@krhrulz1385]

Review the Macan plz!

[@noor37130]

can't wait to save money and buy this car.. second hand for £5000 is a great price for this car

That is probably fake bro.

[@MotionPlays]

Or it has triple digit thousand miles on it

[@noor37130]

I know.. I dropped the idea my bro told me its not worth buying second hand luxury cars

[@MotionPlays]

Not much point when someone else has already had the best out of it

[@user-iw3zo5gu3b]

+MotionPlays mhm

[@asbsad]

its more like making 150k a year beacuse there are servicing costs (500-700 per), road tax (2k a year), and insurance (1.5k-4k). so it works out to about 4k to 6.7k a year on upkeeps in addition to gas and buying the car (which means loaning, thus a monthly fee of at least 700, avg. for a v6 is at 900).

[@Buttnut105]

Ugh now I'm having second thoughts. I like the luxury of the Porsche and all, but I'd want to use it for at least some slight off-roading, although, nothing adventurous. The Cayenne is obviously up to it, but I wouldn't dare risk it seeing as how repair costs are absurd on Porsches.

[@ntokozontombela6968]

I’m watching this in 2020. Now that I can afford this kind of an SUV - I’m not sure if I want the Cayenne or RR Vogue.

[@KelvinWainaina534]

Am on the same boat what did you get ??

[@scotty686]

You're absolutely right when you say there's no rational need for sports cars/convertibles etc, but what I would say in relation to that is that sports cars are more a rare aesthetic thing, if I seem an e-type coming down the road it brightens my day greatly because they are a thing of beauty. But sadly we can't all drive e-types. And convertibles, although technically pointless, are fun to be in and don't really put anyone else in danger or use particularly more fuel. 4x4s are proven to be...

I think that you Sir are the best car reviewer in the world! Have a good day Sir!

[@FeelsDonkMan]

Not the best reviews but i am a big car fan so knowing some of the smaller details of a car is interesting for me. Stuff like interior space and the layout of the dashboard/buttons compared to other cars.

[@L.A.97.]

I have a feeling that you've reviewed this one before. But whatever! It only means more of you!

[@SmitzT]

The interior design in the porsche is much better yes, as most of the surfaces have a form of leather on them, unlike the Touareg, which opts for more plastic. However with regards to the outside, taken into account the Touareg Altitude, it could be an even match. I think I would go for the Porsche though.

[@ghos2277]

Congrats on 111 videos. It's just too bad you couldn't have posted this on the 11th though because that would have been awesome.

[@asbsad]

I own a ml (09), and everytime I go for a service or repaire something on my merc (trust me I have been there a lot of times) I go and look around the dealership and just take in on the market. All the new Mls I see in the delearship with a reasonable amount of options (p1 + leather + paint) are around 62-63k. One thing I learn from going to that dealer often is that NEVER LOOK AT THE WEBSITE! Beacuse if you order a car (with your own options) you don't get any money off.

[@hitman4122]

Well the state of luxury car prices in India is diabolical, nowadays we see a lot of 5 series type of cars and a few porsche's and Rolls Royce etc in big cities. But a BMW x5 costs 67000 pounds here at current exchange rates. This is excluding road tax which is about 8-12k pounds depending on the place. Total 80k. this is for the sdrive 30d which should not cost more than 55k OTR in the UK(correct me if i am wrong). I cannot imagine what the current XJ, 5-series owners would be driving if the...

Yooka: Did Mat Watson just say that the rear seats didn’t fold down completely flat, à la VW Touareg?

[@udipta21]

Great reviewer, he has a great future

[@Buttnut105]

I'd be prepared to deal with the extra possible costs (possible because of how well they're made), but after really thinking about, it's not different enough from the Touareg to justify any added head aches.

[@olaf2046]

This is essentially a Toureg with Porsche Badge and headlights...and that is not even a criticism because VW makes quality cars!

[@rushilraja8497]

MATTTT WATSONNNNNN

[@asbsad]

which slk, if you are looking at slk 350 (which costs around 62k with no little options and around 65k with the options that one needs i.e sat nav, backup camera). If you are looking at the 250, then it will have a lower cost. But SLK is not a sports car, I test drove it when it first came out in the us and it's not as good as the S5 I later brought. If you want a sports car, that is also German and has low costs then you need to look at the BMW 335i 2012 (it is around 53-55k around here...

[@Br1anuk]

Mat had really posh accent years ago. Sounds proper Brummy in 2023.

[@Dreadzedan]

What i heard is that the diesel s cayenne is the spiritual successor to the first Touareg which i also think was awesome, and yes the new one does not live up to it.

[@HSLakaAL]

Anyone else thinking how Mat would do a review of super-luxury cars? "Plenty of legroom."

[@anton9004]

What's frustrating is the number of optional features that should be standard in a Porsche. SatNav, Bluetooth and rear-seat climate control really shouldn't be much of an ask for the price tag on this vehicle...

[@zszs100]

WOW the honda accord has a blue tooth standard in the lowest trim modle, but not the cayenne?

[@metaradical]

What is that beautiful watch by the way?

[@bofelomooketsi5077]

Young Mat 😃

[@hitman4122]

...prices of luxury cars and the tax structure was a bit logical. Though i must say kudos to people who buy these cars in India knowing that they are paying about double of what its worth. I will settle for a Jetta thank you very much (which btw is also double the price it is in the US(Puebla) from where it is brought in as a CKD). Cheers, sorry for OT post on a Cayenne video, but this applies to the Cayenne as well. Great job Matt as usual

[@yuphilip1]

i agree. this guy is really one of the best

[@stratoscy]

we are waiting for more reviews!

[@SmitzT]

Well I've driven the new 3.0 diesel Touareg, and it was fantastic! It was so smooth and the power delivery was sublime! Also with VW you know it will have much better packages than Porsche (repairs,parts ect). The way I see it is this, for driving and everyday living, there the exact same. But for styling and costs, well that's it isnt it? Your really buying a badge, and whilst a Porsche will get you more positive looks, are you really prepared for the costs and risks of keeping it on the road?

[@Buttnut105]

I know I know, but still. It looks a bit better, it's nicer inside, and the like. And they're priced so similarly I wouldn't feel like an idiot buying it.

[@gulello]

@carbuyer Hi Matt, could you please advise how tall you are? From the video it appears that you are about the same height as the cayenne - which I see is listed as 1705mm (around 5ft 7). I do seem to remember (I maybe wrong) you saying in an earlier review that you are about 6 foot. This reason I ask is to get a better idea of the knee room for taller people. I'm 6ft 3 & have two teenage boys who are almost my height

I think the point of this review is to tell you what it would be like to have it real life, the Turbo or Turbo S may be astonishing to drive but it may not be practical in the real world, eg; Fuel consumption, etc... Personally I'd go for the Turbo just because of more POWWWERRRR ;)

Just those few list of options mentioned, they are bloody expensive to say the least. I guess if you're mega rich, and that'll never be me, then you can afford such expence.

[@asbsad]

well i test drove the slk, q7, and the ML. Well, I have a ml (but it is a 09), as for the evoque, I seen it in a dealer once when I was looking at the big range rover as my second car (fyi I looked at prosche 911, slk, bmw 650xi, xkr, and range rover hse, but ended up buying the s5). so if you want to ask about how those cars feel, feel free to do so.
