2008 Porsche Cayenne Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers are impressed with the 2008 Porsche Cayenne's luxurious driving experience and powerful performance. Many owners love its handling, design, and the thrill of driving a Porsche. However, some have concerns about high maintenance costs and fuel efficiency, as well as minor issues like the key fob."
Absolutely Awesome car to Drive. Hardly any problems in 4 years of ownership, bought at 57,000.km.has 75.000.km now, not great on gas but it is a 4.8 l V8 and goes like a sports car. Nothing compares to driving a Porsche, they make Amazing Cars. It has Every option except Bluetooth which was a separate option that year, I got a great deal.on.it 4 yrs ago and would buy again in a heartbeat. Really nothing compares to driving a Porsche its a small SUV sportscar, great on slick roads with snows will walk thru anything.
August 22, 2023The Cayenne seems to hold its value very well. It costs a little more to maintain, but with regular service , it will go for a long, long time.
July 30, 2022After a few weeks with this car I can say that this is the best SUV by far. People who always talk about BMW X5 and its road capabilities should drive one of these. It's a completely different league than any SUV. Yes I was shocked when Porsche introduced an SUV, but then I drove one, and completely changed my mind. Performance combined with handling make this car genuine Porsche. It's not the best looking car, but who cares?! If you're buying one don't get the 3.6 V6, that's just an engine from VW, which makes it only a Touareg in a nicer package, and that totally kills the "magic" of this car. If you have some extra cash to spend go for the GTS (it looks fabulous in the nordic gold) but GTS package kills the off road capabilities, which some people may wanna use. If you want something special go for the Turbo S, don't get the Turbo. The price difference isn't huge and for that little extra you get the most powerful Porsche on the market. But if you want to use it every day, the S is the best combination of fun and rationality.

May 1, 2008Great powertrain , power and transmission shifts are luxurious and smooth.
July 12, 2020Beautiful and stunning SUV. Driving this vehicle is exhilarating. It makes your drive to work something to look forward too. I get compliments on the vehicle daily, porche cayenne is an eye catcher. Treat yourself to the Porsche Cayenne experience.
March 11, 2015The exterior remodel of the cayenne with addition of direct fuel injection really made this year model stand out. Developing 500 hp and 520ftlbs of tq, this is the most powerful SUV on the planet. These trucks originally sold for over 100K but can be purchased for less than half of that if you are a patient buyer.
July 29, 2012Amazing performance....enhanced with a lot of power , torque , stability , safety .... looks and quality ... the dream of a lifetime ....
May 10, 2008Really like the body design. It’s fast and has all the extra luxury features. Super happy with this model
September 12, 2020Performance- GREAT Build Quality- its what you expect from Porsche Appearance- interior is great but some say the exterior is ugly Cost of Ownership- gas mileage sucks but no problems so far Fun Factor- great to drive (or sit it)
August 4, 2009Great car, current issue with key fob/ alarm system that will cost $600+ according to the dealership, but we love the vehicle and its nice so far.
