Cayanne reliability??

i have read that the Cayenne has far less than reliable ratings, is this true? are there more problems w? a Porsche SUV? If so what are the common ones?

I have had two S's each with 36,000 miles before selling and they were great. One had the key fobs replaced and the other had the comfort module replaced, that was it.

i have had mine for 7 months and i have had only PSM failure and a weak horn. But even if this car does have a few small issues, its fun factor and benefits far exceed the "issues". Besides, it comes with a 4 yr warranty so it doenst really matter.

i've had a few problems here and there, but everytime i just take it over to the dealer, who i didn't buy the car from btw, and they fix it free of charge. the one thing that really is annoying with the car is i have to add oil more times than fuel! i think last time a liter lasted me 300 miles.(i like to drive the car hard)

it'll tell you when your low. the dealership said that the reason i go through a lot of oil is because of the turbos. i think Porsche recommends about 600-1000 miles on a liter.

i guess i must just be special!

Cayenne

4k and counting on my 06 Turbo S. Absolutely no issues surprisingly, I like it more now than when I got it. Still early too early to tell about long term reliability but its looking good.

I guess the bad always stands out more than the good. My dad bought a used one a year ago, and it hasn't had any problem whatsoever. Great car...which he won't let me drive.
