Another good thing about any Porsche is that if you take good care of it, it can last almost forever. I have a Cayenne Turbo that I bought in 2003. The engine still works fine after 160,000 miles. And after replacing some plastic parts on the body, it looks almost looks like a new car.
How much do you pay to maintain it annually?
@@Illiterate243 It is not cheap to maintain. I probably spend about $2000 per year. If you buy a used cayenne, the biggest thing to check is the transmission, because the transmission isn't easily repaired, and replacing it is really expensive. And of course, be ready to buy a lot of gas, because it only gets around 10 miles/gallon.
My cayenne s once got 31 mpg a gallon, but the good Canadian gallon. Only vehicle i want to own. No need to replace it, a 2013.
Lol how about mines I got 276k miles 06 I just purchased a 2015 so I got both
mine has 300,000 miles in the USA.
We have the 2016 that we bought new. Never a single problem in 5 years. Not a one.
How many miles (odometer) and is it a petrol or Diesel?
@@ghanamafia7199 That wasn't a want ad :)but...34,000 miles, petrol.
You'd hope so...It's 5 years old lol. Love our 2010 Cayenne...had a couple problems hahaha
Which model is it? The S ? Or normal one?
@@blueplanet1048 just the base. When we get a new one I'll want the S with the air suspension, but the one we have is a splendid car
First thing...the video production is at a pro level...!! The review was great...straight to the point and no big fuss about it...!! I'm really looking forward to own a Cayenne...!!!
Just purchased a Cayenne S 2004 myself. Thanks for this video!
The best review of any car I’ve seen in years.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Cayenne
Great video mate. I’m about to buy a minty 2011 w/ 105km and expect high repair costs but hope to avoid the stupidly expensive stuff…. We’ll see. You’re video is very well done and appreciated.
Lovely car. I have a Panamera which has the same engine and when I got it I discovered that some of the plastic coolant fittings under the inlet manifold were cracked and very slowly leaking and there was a small pool of coolant in the V of the engine. This is something for a potential buyers to look out for on the 3.0L TDI. I love working on my cars and I fixed it myself during the first lockdown, but it took me about six hours and I decided to replace the oil cooler as well which added to the price. I replaced the water pump whilst I was in there and cleaned out the inlet manifold as these DFI engines do get gunked up on the inlet side. I get 50 miles to the gallon from my Panamera on long motorway journeys. I’m delighted with my Panamera. Your Cayenne looks like a lovely car as well!
Going through the the same issues with my 2013 diesel Cayenne. 134,000.
@@paulosyohannes3948 did you get it fixed? What was the remedy
Let's face it, 30+ mpg for a huge truck/SUV is amazing!
Typical for diesel though.
Thankyou so much, your review is next level.
I have a 2016 Cayenne diesel and before that, a BMW X5 diesel. I love my Cayenne and have to agree with this video describing how much fun it is to drive. The seats are fantastic! Yes, get the air suspension if possible. It will then go from a terrific highway cruiser to the best handling SUV there is. The X5 was OK but was disappointed by the build quality and reliability. One thing you have to remember about the diesels is that if you drive around town most of the time, every once in a while you must get out on the open road an cruise for about 50 miles to burn out (clean) the particulate filter. If you don’t, the check engine light will probably come on.
Do you have air suspension? I found a vehicle with it but I feel like it’s a consumable and will need replacing.. wondering how reliable your car has been ? Also if it’s been reliable with air suspension if you have it. Hoping for a response cheers!
Excellent video thanks, very informative. Just discovered this channel will be subscribing.
The Stop/Start issues seems to be related to the switch. Just disengage the stop/start feature and it won't stop on you. Search YT for the 8 common problems with a Cayenne. The rattle noise too is mentioned and how to fix it.
Vehicle Excise Duty. I have a Macan, only spent money on fuel, insurance (£350), VED and servicing (£800 ). Only needs a service every two years. Quality is exceptional.
Really good review. Love the aerials too! Hope to get one of these one day.
I love my 2014 diesel, gets me 700 miles + highway driving. Bought mine pre-owned and got the 10K rebate and warranty. Best deal ever! Great video!!
Can you please explain more about the 10k rebate
2nd that😊
Great video fella. I have a very similar 2011 Cayenne Diesel which I have had for a year now, and no one believes you can get 50mpg from these! Mine is my daily and again similarly is driven 80 miles per day on my commute and it always gets over 40mpg although it is A1 and M62 so easy motorway miles. I also have a rattle in the back, think it is a loose clip or something. You and I have lots in common as I have a 997 in the garage too!
Within one year did you spend some money? I'm planning to buy 2010 used one .
On my 2nd Cayenne... love the style, the features and the performance! Only issue has been the transfer case, which Porsche replaced (FOC) under their recent extended warranty program. As for the roof casket --- my feeling is inconsequential, but to me: If it dont fit in the cargo area, it aint going!
roof casket ⚰
nice review my friend... these are really nice, they really do stand out, those porsche lines never fail to turn heads...I'm rock'n a BMW X1 atm, great little vehicle but I feel like I need just a tad more personality and power, and I'd like to tow stuff also, which brings me here....
Bought mine (2011 3.6 V6 958) a year and half ago and here's how much it cost me:
1: Replacing 4 tire sensor -- 2300$ (covered by warranty)
2: Fixing coolant leak -- 600$
3: Replacing right side mirror motor -- 570$ (covered by warranty)
4: A new set of tire -- 1400$
5: Aux coolant pump replacement --1350$ (covered by warranty w/ 200$ deductible )
6: Replacing battery -- 270$ (Did it myself or otherwise around 700$ at dealer)
7: BreakFluid flush -- 120$ (Did it myself or otherwise 1300$)
8: Air filter + Oil/Filter change -- 150$ (Around 600$+ at dealer)
9: Transfer Case fluid flush -- 40$ (Not sure how much dealer charge for this)
10: Wiper replacement -- 40$ (Probably about 150$ at dealer -- not entirely sure)
11. SparkPlugs @14$ each and ignition coil @35$ each -- 300$ including tax and shipping..
Very satisfied with this car and it is quite reliable. But its probably good idea to get extended warranty if possible and prepare to do bunch of simple preventative maintenance yourself.
Are those main dealer prices? You know that you can go to an indy shop and get much lower prices?
@@rozetca Those are dealer quotes. Indy shops are probably cheaper but there's no guarantee they can do it right. i'd prefer to do it myself if I can.
Can you please explain me how extended warranty work🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I have a bmw 4.28 now and I’m planning to buy a 2011-2014 cayenne but It will be my first used-car so idk how can I extend the warranty from Porsche or other dealers, how much it cost? Which one do you prefer can you please inform me🙏🏻 (live in France)
@@premium2554 You might want to check with your dealer when purchasing the car. Many dealer offers extended warranty for certified preowned porsches. Mine cost around 3k USD and it offers coverage for engine + trans. The warranty is offered by a third part though, not from dealer or Porsche factory. I'm not sure how's it in France but I'd definitely suggest you to check with dealer. As for how it works, here in US, you'd take the car to dealer for repairs and the dealer will contact the warranty provider to cover the cost of repair. You'd only pay for deductible + anything that is not covered. Hope this helps !
2004 and 2011 models have the most issue
I appreciate your honesty and candor. I've owned a 2015 EHybrid Cayenne and I have absolutely no complaints. Porsche's aren't for everyone. If you have champagne taste but only a Coca Cola budget, you will complain about fuel costs. It's an SUV for goodness sakes, not a sedan. It will take more fuel! My EHybrid actually allowed me to switch usage both electric and gas. On those long trips, it was definitely a positive factor. The speed, power, handling, superior performance and comfort were more than worth it. Sadly, its time for an upgrade and I just sold the vehicle. Yes, I'm ready for a full electric vehicle....Not Tesla, not Audi or any of the other upstarts. I'm waiting for the all electric Porsche Cayenne and my expectations for superior performance are high! I know they will deliver.
Jeez you say time for an upgrade when my family has a 2006 nissan suv
Great video! I am currently considering a Cayenne, trading in my Insignia. I´ve looked at other SUV´s, but there always seems to be "something missing", as to where this car seems to have it all (atleast for what I am looking for that is: higher car, lots of loading space, with a good amount of power and still have a decent economy)
Hello, Simply push the damn Start/Stop mode off! (we keep ours turned off)
That is what I was thinking
All of the Porsche SUVs are fantastic cars. We have a 2016 Macan S and not a single issue. So comfortable and the handling puts to shame BMW and Mercedes. Great review!
It’s good to hear the positive review of a Macan. It seems everywhere I look I’m hearing about oil leaks and repairs costing thousands of dollars.
Great video, I hope more people realize what hidden gems these beasts are. I had a 2013 Mini Cooper before buying my Cayenne, and I noticed that the services were going to cost about the same at an independent shop but with the Porsche having much better reliability. Millage is only a little worse, which was a pleasant surprise (22mps vs 27mpg averages according to both cars on board computers). You're so right about the air suspension also, its such a pleasant experience and it isn't tiresome to drive.
I don't have interior squeaks or rattles, but the last owner really didn't take very good care of it, and the leather is dried up and peeling in some places. I'm hoping the leather products from the Chemical Guys can work some life back into it. That is really the only issues I've had with it, the last owners neglected a lot of things.
I did the spark plugs and coils myself, and it reinvigorated the engine and improved the fuel millage.
Nice video. I'm coming up on 60yo and early retirement and my Jaguar F-Type S does not tow anything and the Cayenne seems surprisingly competent. It looks like one of the smallest SUV's to tow 7,000+ and I travel alone, so I don't need the normal full sized SUV. Fuel economy is better than my Jaguar (the way I drive anyway). I know how it is to pull up at lights and have someone bellow from 2 lanes over "HEY DUDE, NICE CAR !" and then try to hold a conversation as the lights go to green.
As I live in Arizona, there are lots of times off roading of some degree is fun and I've been surprised that the Cayenne does that well, too. Just had my F-Type's annual (minor) service and needed tracking doing too - 575GBP. I think it's fair to say, if you haven't got a porsche, Jaguar, Mercedes etc. yet, expect everything to be expensive.
But all in all, I'm encourage by what's been discussed in this video - may well go ahead and trade for the Porsche.
I refused to give up my Cayenne and put over 200 thousand miles on it. I never go more than 3 years without getting a new model. Awesome vehicle. Since, I've had 2 Macans.
Great review! Thats really great fuel economy for such a heavy car.
Have Merc E350 and considering Cayenne (2012 or 2013) for reliability, SUV practicality, ground clearance, handling and comfort and AWD.
Love the round looks of Cayenne so I would not mount any box on top of it but as you require the extra space why not, still looks great.
Did you end up buying it?
Just sold our 2015 hybrid cayenne what a absolutely lovely car these cars are amazing
Just bought my first 2017 Cayenne Turbo. And I absolutely love this thing! Off-road Tank but flying sofa when on Road.
What a coincidence! I run into your videos when I was considering moving on from mb w211 to w212 , like 4 , 5 years ago . And now when I have decided to move again you're covering exactly the car I have chosen too . And it's not that I have been disappointed in MB E - class . Almost the opposite of that, E class has earned so much respect ( here in Norway) that prices for used cars are over the roof . With that price tag.... I'm like, ok, is there another " reliable", may be a couple of years older.........
Got my wife a white Cayenne in January 2020 and it's a great vehicle. Solid in the snow here in Montreal and great in the summer too. Definitely get the air suspension. And I know the roof box is functional but really not a look I like.
Jelly good husband
The Cayenne 958 is indeed a very nice car, I sold my CTT in January, very reliable and I can relate with everything said in this video, except of course the power of the Turbo version, it is extremely fast! Why did I sell it? Well I guess I was just never excited about the car, mine was white with beautiful natural brown leather and walnut mix interior, it just didn't give me a buzz, perhaps the underwhelming sound of the car as compared to a GTS, or perhaps it was the light feel of the steering, everything about the car was soft, easy and delicate.
The chrome on the window buttons started breaking, the lovely stitched leather on the dash started shrinking back, I heard this was a common problem with these cars in hot climates, but mechanically and all it was driving perfectly with everything working, except the adaptive cruise control that had a mind of its own.
I had an 07 C2S and I guess I was looking for a daily driver/family car/performance car in one after I sold the Carrera, but the CTT just didn't quite do it for me, you know that car that makes you offer to do the errands, I mean all the time? That car that you just want to drive and keep driving, this wasn't it.
I found that in a very strange place as I picked up a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 for half the price, shocking! The good news is I should be welcoming a 997, a Coupe this time any moment from now, (just have to have a Porsche in my life) with the cayenne, horses for courses I guess....
Omg that was such a BRUTAL review
I would recommend getting the hybrid. Less tax, free parking, more power than the diesel.
Hey Satch. Another great Video. I’ve a 2014, 958 3.0d for 18 months now and it’s done 78000 miles. All good - no issues ! Love the car. Took me 9 months to find the headlamp washer button on mine.
7months ago you did a video where you chipped yours ? Wondered how that was working out?
Over the 20,000 miles I’ve done, returning 41mpg but mainly Runs to Manchester and Durham and back. I’m pretty happy with that, touch better than my giulia veloce
How has it been now?
You have been very lucky with that one Satch. Its been more or less trouble free motoring. However, does it do much mileage during lockdown?.
Very nice video. Looking forward to getting one soon in Singapore. A hybrid 958. Thanks for the video.
If you are thinking to get one of these the "Porsche Cayenne S Plug-in Hybrid" is the way to go the 2015 models are nice price range around 40k euros . 3.5 liters/100km
A detailed review, thanks.
cracking review we are thinking about buying a 15 plate 50k v6 tdi.
Thats how we spotted your video, local land marks too, canny
Bought the Cayenne s in 2013, then got another Cayenne s the new gen in 2016, and have just bought a new Cayenne turbo 2021 and we love Porsche !
There is a reason Porsche is ranked last in quality and reliability of 32 OEMs.
Great video. Love my 2012 black Cayenne S w/ 20 inch Porsche wheels, light tan interior, Porsche monogrammed headrest and monogrammed center console. Love the S because where i am, I see very few S models, 99% base models. True sport car that is a SUV you can put the family in with plenty of HP, even in comfort mode. Simply a monster in Sport mode. I agree, the ride is simply amazing. Respect the Crest. Thanks for tip of Icarsoft diagnostic scanner.
Got a naturally aspirated s I loved so much went for another.
with your start stop issue, you may need to replace the battery and/or have it reprogrammed. The vehicle likely has one of those "intelegent" charging systems that only charges the battery when necessary, but if the battery is on it's way out, or it doesn't understand the "true" state of charge than it can cause the issue you've described.
is there a way to delete the start-stop program?
@@user-wq9zt7tz5vim looking for the same answer
Look out for oil leaks. We had the exact same car and year. Porsche quoted us over 5K for an engine out but its seldom required. local former Porsche technician who runs an indy garage told us it was a couple of rods in the engine block which had not had enough sealant put on when built. Half a day and £300. Job done. Oil leak vanished and part exchanged with Porsche for a 2017 plate with the 262 brake. Huge difference.
The roof box is a great place to store your mother-in-law too!
🤣🤣🤣
Definitely not my great mother-in-law
😭😬😬😂
Or ex wife.
Oh wow,has it a chilling facility.....
I got me a 2013 Cayenne GTS, this truck is amazing!
Looks
Really nice 👍🏼
If I had a dollar everytime he said really, I could finally afford to buy a Porsche Cayenne.
I am with her at over 200k mil, 2010 6VTD beauty that never missed a beat 👍
Good review 👍
great video!! good job
I really want a Porsche, but I’m so scared. I’m not rich, it’s just my dream car. I can buy it but idk if I can manage to keep it running
Would agree with you . Comfort is 2nd to none. I have 05 3.2 petrol. 37.7mpg on a run had no issues other than a wee vibration from dash . Iv had lots of luxury cars but my porsche cayenne top's the lot
I have a 2013 turbo, love it. I would not put a box on the roof.
First time I experienced that power shut off thing at a junction (not even a malfunction) I quick found the button for it and turned it off permanently. Not a single issue or thought about it since then thank God.
Review of human world: "Honest is brutal."
The fact that. You have that thing on top says it's too small
The GTS body kit looks great!
Thanks for sharing
Great video on the Cayenne. I'm curious if you wish you wouldn't have gotten the diesel for performance? I was lucky to find a well cared for 2010 Cayenne GTS with PDCC and the air suspension. You are correct about the air susp and how great it is! I bought my Cayenne for $8,800 plus some shipping. It had over 200k miles on it with the V8. I'm at 217,000k and it still drives and pulls like it's broken in but it is my daily so I do take it easy. And the Sport mode and Exhaust is awesome! I have a couple Mustangs in my neighborhood and it's fun to drive by and wave!
If the Cayenne does 35 mpg and costs £200 a month and the Mercedes cost £70 that puts the Mercedes at over 100 mpg impressive !
Haha, I was about to say the same thing!
Yeah, but its a Mercedes. Try cracking a smile every time you drive it. You need to calculate smiles per gallon too.
There's no way that the eclass was doing over 100 mpg, it doesn't make sense. Maybe he did less driving or isn't remembering correctly how much he was paying.
[ he's ignoring you ]
My daughter has just bought one, it looks great and has all the toys but I cringe to think how expensive it will be if something seriously goes wrong, it is lovely though.
I have a 2014 GTS, fantastic car. Not faultless, I have Porsche Warranty and I wouldn't own it without it. I wouldn't worry about 35mpg Mr Tpn TV. I get 12mpg, all day, every day. Thats a lot of 98 octane! I feel like the sound from the NA4.8 litre V8 is worth the fuel dump!
How do you have Porsche Warranty? Can you please explain me this process 🙏🏻 I have bmw 4.28 and I’m planning to buy a 2014 cayenne, everybody says I have to get warranty with it but idk how it works, how much it cost etc
How can't find link to the roof box and rails, also, doesn't look like u replaced the whole head unit to get the apple play, did you just do a software upgrade. Thx
Wheres the link to the roof rack setup. Mine doesn't have food rails either. I need to know.
How come fuel cost doubled compared with your E Class? The Merc was doing 70mpg?
Interesting video, lovely car and to be honest 35 mpg that’s more than I’d expect i have a GOLF r line 1.5 which i use for work which only gives me average 44.
I recently purchased a 2011 diesel cayenne and can only open the rear passenger doors from the inside. Changed the settings on the multi function display but makes no difference. Please help.
I have a 981 Cayman, I think its a battery issue, my auto start stop doesn't work (but that's fine honestly because I hate auto start stop) the alternator over charges the battery sometimes to 14.9 V when I'm driving and the battery gets drained quickly when the car idles for about 10 mins and I have to start it again for it to charge. When I run the battery nearly flat where the car turns itself off I get an IPC code U0155 but it goes away after I run the car for a little. All symptoms of a battery that need to be replaced soon. No hard cranks at all though.
Sometimes you need to replace the battery on new cars, and chose a battery with more capacity/Amperes of the same size (in one case I could even fit a larger sized battery !). I have seen this issue with a Hyundai Santa Fe, Citroen Berlingo, and BMW X3. Hyundai and BMW would not start after a few days or weeks without driving, and Citroen would not start if I had to stop/start too often (I had to wait 10 minutes, then it would start, without charging). In all these cases the issues were solved with a battery of higher capacity than the original model.
How much have fuel prices changed since you had the E-class? The stop/ start is quite worrying. Great aeriel photography.
Beautiful video.
Why did you sell the Cayenne was there problems with it? Did you get the stop/start sorted? Did you sell it with the race chip and car play still installed?
Yes really enjoying our 2012 on road trips and general highway driving. Smoothest cruiser I've owned - and at 12 years old no less! Might consider the roof box as well - need lots of space for stuff when hauling kids on trips.
Just came across your channel, great content 👌
Thumbs up from a fellow UA-camr👍
Nicely done video
Thanks for sharing your advice 👍😁
Love the roof box! I want one too
Looks very nice. Maybe you should get a Macan next to compare the two
Good video im looking at buying one in canada think camt get newer then 2015 so km are around 130 thousand do they still have alot left in them
Good to see that the indicators don't work like most other Porches I see in my town.
How much would it cost to fix the air suspension? 🤔
This is a nice review my friend. I too have a cayenne. But I wouldn't play around with the engine shutting off. Go to a certified Porsche mechanic and get the job done right the first time.
Nice review just like a well written point paper. Short to the point nothing extra. Thank you
Nice video ...I like porsh cayenne but I want to buy and you are good in a trust...
I have a GTS, best car I have ever owned. I have had Mercs, Jags, BMW's the list goes on. That's said in your video you said the Cayenne is Porsches best seller. That may be the case in the UK but my local PCar dealer here in North America says it's the Macan. Basically because it's cheaper. I test drove a Macan Turbo before I bought my Cayenne. Still bought the Cayenne GTS.
Your mileage is impressive!
I just want to tell my fellow Americans that, here in US, our gallon is 3.8 Liters, compared to the British gallon of 4.5 Liters. Meaning that 1 British gallon is basically 1.2 US gallons. That is why, to us in US, 50mpg sounds out of this world for such a heavy SUV.
Here in US, we can possibly reach mid or high 30s MPG, which is still amazing!
There are not too many diesel Cayennes here left, due to Dieselgate. And the diesel sales before Dieselgate lagged far behind those of the gasoline counterparts.
I myself can’t wait to get into Cayenne. I had X5 3.5 and it was a good car. Then I drove my friend’s 2013 Cayenne S with 4.8 V8 and it was a beast! Needles to say, I fell in love with it. Now, since 2015, Cayenne S comes with 3.6L twin turbo, which is actually a bit faster and more economical than older V8 model, but does not feel “the same” as a true naturally-aspirated V8. Hence, I am shopping for 2012-2014 Cayenne S V8.
Great video! Did you fit the Head unit yourself?
Found the link 😁
I bought this cayenne turbo s like 10 years!
Until now I do not get any problems of it...
wow really! brand new or used? hows the mileage?
Doesn't sound like long list of drawbacks when it comes to maintenance. I could maybe live with the fuel costs especially given now in post-covid world where I won't be daily driving it to work 5 days a week every week. I'm also on the same boat I've made up my mind on getting the Cayenne S (trading up from a BMW 4 series coupe) . Thanks for the review mate - I feel better about having made up my mind :)
With any stop start problem it usually is down to an old battery. A lot of V/W parts fit and are exactly the same part minus the porsche sticker. Having owed an Audi I can confirm their parts prices are on a level with a Porsche
Whats funny is that i also have an e class 2014 very nice but it has 100k miles on it and been thinking on getting a 2017 cayenne. Should i make the switch?
Good Dad. Nice review.👍
Is there a way to disengage the automatic start/stop system?
We have a 13 Cayenne and a 15 Macan S. We cannot see one good reason for the start/stop feature other than to appease some regulatory agency and put undo stress and wear on the starter.
it would be something i would disable permanently
How to permanently shut down the start / stop system?
I have a button for that but it needs to be pressed every time the car starts :-(
HOW to turn it off permanently .. this is an extra option on a car that DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD!
So it can be turned off with software or a resistor ... or the button can simply be shorted?
Auto start / stop shuts off automatically if it is cold and the battery does not have enough voltage
Cracking video as usual, is there any way to disable the stop start system on start up??
It’s not possibly by using any of the internal controls, might be possible with the piwis programming tool.
on our 2016 it can't be permanently blocked but ther'es a button I push every time I drive it, which disables it.
350 miles for £50 ! I’m buying one
The start stop function depends on the battery health! If it fails and it's slow to crank you may need a new battery! You wont necessarily get a fault message for this issue. Battery is £250 plus an hours labour for fitting at non porsche specialist.
Do not forget to code the new battery to the car. Without coding the battery will be depleted within 2 month and the situation will be the same regarding the start-stop. I did this mistake, learnt from it. Time to time it is worth to regenerate the battery with a charger capable of desulphating. Because of the 15.5V pulse charge I recommend to disconnect the battery ground cable and charge the battery directly via the positive charging pole of the car and the negative battery pole. If the batery was deep charged - two weeks sitting on an airport - than this regeneration is mandatory. Pay attention how frequently the start stop is in use and what durations. If you drive short distances and have a lot of traffic light with 1 minute or more red light than the system is not able to charge the battery back to the normal level. In this case a normal charging is necessary via the cars charging poles.
